This is so sad and so distraughting.
It's always sad when a someone dies but it's even sadder when it's self-inflicted.
No doubt I'll be watching some old Robin Williams films this week.

This classic figure is from 1979 and has been a part of my collection for at least 15 years, if not longer, and will most certainly be part of it for a LONG time to come.

This is horrible news, I loved his films, just last week I watched The Angriest Man In Brooklyn. Sad to hear.

He was a comic genius. He could also play anything like Sy Parrish in One Hour Photo which was a role he wasn't found in often

what a shock and a shame. My heart hurts as he was one of my favorites and I know how depression hurts. My sister in law saw him in concert once, she was staying at the same hotel and was at the bar with her girlfriend late into the night and suddenly Williams walked in. No guards, no special treatment. She said the bar was near empty and Williams went to everyone there and said hello and was having normal conversations with everyone. I'm jealous of that. She got a really nice picture of them together.
What a treasure and I hope anyone reading this that also suffers from depression gets help. There are many of us out there. You're not alone. DM me if you need any help.

There was never a time when Robin Williams was not a part of my life. I grew up watching his films. This is the first time Robin has made me sad. R.I.P.

Pretty blown away by the whole thing. Just extremely shocking. I had no idea he was dealing with depression, so I was caught complete off guard with that whole thing.
Going to try and just watch a few of his films this week. I love Hook so much, so I'll probably start there. Just sad.

I'm absolutely devastated by this. Robin is one of the funniest men ever. I hope whoever cancelled The Crazy Ones is proud of themselves. The show really was better than getting cancelled it's first season. Williams and SMG were gold. The cancellation could well be a contributing factor. Not long after it was cancelled, he checked into rehab. He was pretty pissed off about it.

Eerily haunting words from Robin Williams as Adrian Cronauer from Good Morning Vietnam. Just listen to the beginning part for about 20 seconds in: Also to note, from that movie, both J.T. Walsh and Bruno Kirby are gone as well. All 3 of those tremendous actors are together again..

R.I.P. Robin Williams. Thank you for making me constantly smile and laugh. He truly was one of the greats.

DM me if you need any help. It's too bad more people in Hollywood don't have that down to earth kinda of approach to him. I think that's part of what made him so likable. He also did a bunch of USO stuff, visiting the troops. I know there's one clip of him performing for the troops when the retreat ceremony begins for lowering the flag, and he reacted perfectly. He realized something important was happening, took off his hat, and just stayed silent for it. The bit he did after it, and a video from the next day, telling some soldiers what he was thinking when it happened was priceless. It can't be said enough, the world didn't just loose a great entertainer, it lost a great human being.

Can't believe this is real, didn't know what to do when I first hear this before going to work this morning, was very shocked. Never expected him to go the way he did too. Man I'm bummed out. RIP Robin Williams

They just said on tv that he was found partially clothed and that he had hung himself with a belt wedged between a closet door and the door frame. There were also "superficial" wounds to his wrists, presumably from a pocket knife found near the body. So sad...
