The funniest comedian ever in my opinion. How sad. [:(]

Just saw this myself a few minutes ago. Agree, very sad! RIP Robin Williams!
RIP, and thanks for decades of entertainment.
Very sad and I agree, damned funny. He was a parent at the same school my daughter went to in K, 1 and 2. I met him a few times at fundraisers where he somehow always ended up the emcee. Had a very quirky personality but seemed to be a genuine person, very kind.
Remember when he got the cantaloupe out of Mindys grocery bag?
“Slam dunk, Meadowlark!” and threw it down on the floor. Totally improv.
A friend of mine saw him at the Holy City Zoo. Before his act, he ran into the room with an apron on and yelled “Arafat, party of 4,000: your table is ready!”.
Man, who next? Potential suicide they say. His publicist says he was battling depression.
Na-noo, Na-noo! RIP, Mr. Williams!
RIP Robin… Thank you for all the wonderful memories, laughs, and flat out entertainment for all the years. I will miss his one of a kind style…
I have been a fan of his since his first appearance on Happy Days,right up until the sitcom he had last TV season.
Anyone that can play the range from Mork to Patch Adams,with a side trip to turning a Playboy article into a movie,that is just raw talent. I hope some of his various out takes get put together into a tribute,some of that stuff is funnier than the scripted part, and you can bet that some of his improv was used on screen in place of the writer’s intended humor.
RIP Robin, you will be missed,and thank you for all the times you made me laugh.

I got the news of his death from my wife. I am devastated over his death. Yeah, I’m man enough to cry over it. This is hard to take since the passing of Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin. The world has lost a great comedian and actor of our time. RIP Robin…
Just woke up to this news. Very sad in deed.
Aside from Good Morning Vietnam, one of my favourite of his movies is The Birdcage. Great actor and a very funny guys.
RIP.
RIP Indeed, very sad.
Had the pleasure of being in his company & as GMorrison suggests, a very genuine, warm & kind guy.
Lots of great films & much good humour from a guy that was easy to relate with. Don’t really know why, but I’ve always loved Bicentennial Man.
Seemed like a genuine nice guy
For me,my favorites:
Good Morning Vietnam
Mrs Doubtfire
I have seen most of his movies except Patch Adams and Dead Poet’s Society. I know he has one movies due out called The Angriest Man in the World (or something like that) and thought he may have another out soon. Not sure…
at least he is at rest no one but he knew what tortured him it shows money/fame do not mean everything imagine the ones left here that are depressed like he and have nothing no money /fame etc sad as it is i am in a way happy for him none of you will agree unless you are or know depression
Very, very sad. He was a terrific comedian and a great actor.
I loved him in Mrs. Doubtfire and Good Morning Vietnam. RIP Robin.
I read online on a related article on Robin Williams. He still has not 2 movies, but 4 movies total coming out to theaters between now and thru 2015.
I think that the really impressive thing about his work was his ability to do a gut-busting funny stand-up routine, and play a psychopath in One Hour Photo and on L&O Special Victims. Very few have that kind of range.
Bruno Kirby died at 57. J. T, Walsh died at 56. At least Forest Whitaker is still with us. Makes it hard to watch that movie.
I’m still very shocked about his passing. He was such a hilarious guy. RIP.
…and now we lost Lauren Bacall.
