I was shocked to hear this also. I loved him in all of his movies..but good morning vietnam was my fav
-
My heart dropped into my stomach. He was a part of my childhood, I grew up watching Mrs. Doubtfire, Aladdin, Flubber. Not only could he do comedy but he could do dramatic roles as well. So sad that he felt this was the only way out.
-
I will remember him as Popeye and as the Genie..Mrs Doubtfire and Good Morning Vietnam.
-
omg i haven't heard this..i loved his movies...such a great actor...so sad...
-
I like a bunch of his movies that where dramas but I really did not like him as a comedian. My favorite movie he did was Goodwill Hunting.
-
Just his sense of humor.,.hard to believe...depression, it avoids no one...RIP
-
I just heard about him & that this must be a really bad & sad joke!But NPR don't usually report hoaxes!i'm just so shocked!i mean come on suicide?!!!!!!!? Another, icon something I grew up with gone from my world. I just feel so sad and old! :(
-
I also am shocked by this news. It's truly hard to believe and I am deeply saddened by this. He was one of my favorite actors and he will truly be missed. RIP Robin Williams. :(
-
I am truly saddened by the news of the death of Robin Williams. He was a talented comedy genius. I will never forget watching him do a stand-up comedy show where he asked the members of the audience to give him one word and he would perform spontaneously based on that one word. He did several skits in this fashion and it was pure genius! He will be greatly missed. :(
-
i didn't believe it when i first heard it, but i'll always remember aladdin, hook, mrs. doubtfire, the list goes on, depression can be such a serious issue, wished he like many others could have gotten the help they needed
-
I am more saddened by the fact that he possibly committed suicide. It saddened me that he got to a place where he felt like there is no hope. It is so important that we work on our relationship with family and friends.
-
This is so awful and heartbreaking. :( I still can't even begin to process this. He's going to be missed so much. It hurts my heart that even though he brought so much joy and laughter to many people, he couldn't be happy himself. So tragic. :(
-
Can't believe it..even after I googled it. So scary when such a highly intelligent and talented individual goes.
-
That is just so sad he was good at is work.
-
This is such sad news. He was such a talented man, honestly the world lost someone really great. A true talent.
-
When I saw this on another site, I was shocked to hear it. I cannot believe he is dead. He was one of my favorite actors. Wow, this is so sad.
-
Very sad news to loose such a talented man who provided us with so much wonderful entertainment. He will be missed.
-
I was stunned when I got the news. Still cannot believe he's gone. Such a great talent. He'll be missed by all.
-
This is so sad. I was shocked to hear the news. He will be missed.

You said exactly what I feel, beatsdrop. My heart hurts thinking that Robin Williams, or anyone, can get to be so sad and hopeless.

They were suppose to make a Mrs Doubtfire 2

Why would you not believe it? I have heard a lot of people saying they thought it was a joke. I don't get that? Why would you think it was a joke? I received a text last night from a local news station. Never entered my mind that it was a joke. Anyway.
You never know what is going on inside of a person's mind. People are mean and cruel. I know that esp online in discussion boards (even on here lol) things can get heated and people tend to say things that they would not say in person. I have read more than one comment and even had it said to me "go kill yourself" because someone does not agree with an opinion being stated. We live in a tough world and things are getting worse every day and in this world they are not going to get any better.

He did such great stand-up! But his improve was his greatest talent. He said at one time that he learned from Jonathan Winters. I think he was better. He could never leave a talk show without having everyone cracking up from his impressions. Robin will never be rerplaced by anyone better. Love him and will deeply miss his talent.

I was too saddened to hear of his death, esp. with the circumstances about it. He was one of my all-time favorite actors. Although he was originally just a comedian, many of his movies also had some heart-touching aspect to it. Several of the movies that I cried while watching (yes, I'm man enough to admit it) were the movies he was in -- Dead Poets Society was one of the first that I started bawling like a baby. "O Captain my captain" we will miss you very much!
-
Saddened to hear, but I'll remember him for his stand up routines, Good Morning Vietnam, Good Will Hunting, and countless others...hopefully he's at peace now
-
I read this post and could not belive it to be true... My heart sank and i hoped for a bit of relief knowing this could not possbily be true.. In fact i googled the news and googled some more hoping at least one thing would say fraud.. false.. made up.. Not true... I still don't want to belive it's true.. This is one actor i didn't ever want to lose.. I grew up with this actor.. He got me through some hard times.. He gave me some good times.. I almost felt as if he was a big part of my life.... Oh his legacy will live on forever and ever in his millions of adoring fans.. He will be remembered in countless movies and countless ways.. I really can't imagine him ever being replaced... Tv will not be the same without him that's for sure.. He will deffinetly be missed but will live on forever in our hearts...Long Live Robin Williams May he rest in peace!

In the movie "Awakenings"
-
RIP Robin Williams...so sorry to hear the news.
-
R.I.P Robin Williams.
-
Thank You Robin Williams and Rest In Peace.
-
I didn't really like him as an actor or comedian but its still horrible news, my favorite thing I saw him in was the movie Insomnia with Pacino.
-
Yesterday I was so shocked to hear that they thought he committed suicide. Now this afternoon, the coroner stated he died from hanging and they also found a pocket knife with what looked like blood on it laying on the floor with superficial cuts on his wrists. This is even more shocking. It's really odd how they found him, sitting in a chair with a belt around his neck?
If you look closely at his eyes, sometimes he looked very happy and carefree but some of the photos they showed yesterday, his eyes looked so sad.
He made so many people laugh, was so giving of himself, but it's funny that no one could help him or even knew how 'lonely' he really felt. I just hope he finds peace.
-
I remember him from Mork and Mindy first of all and he has been in a lot of good movies since then. I am sorry for his family. Just goes to show not everyone is as happy as they pretend to be. You can never really know what is eating away at someones life.
-
I'm old enough to remember Robin Williams playing a part in Mork & Mindy. His humor was stunningly outrageous and he instantly caught my attention. The only other comedian who is as spontaneously funny might be Jim Carey.
I noticed with time that his humor became more dark & twisted. Maybe, that was because he was dealing with addiction. He'll always have a place in my heart as one of my favorite comedians.
R.I.P. Robin. :heart:

My cousin knew last night he had hanged himself. Don't know how she knew because I still have not seen that info on an official news site. You never know what is going on inside of a person. No matter how happy they seem on the outside. I have known people that you never would know there was anything wrong and they killed themselves and to the average person who knew them it was a complete shock.
And sadly, I don't think it should be. Not for people who are close to the ones who do this. There are signs. I just think people are so involved with themselves that they don't take the time to really listen to others. It is not always like that but I think sometimes it is. I know a guy who shot himself a couple of years ago on Christmas Eve. Was a total complete shock to the family and his friends. But then when people started talking several said HE had told them he was depressed.

This is true. But it doesn't seem to stop people from being mean to each other. I remember when I was in high school a girl broke up with a guy. He told everyone he was going to kill himself. And the girl said "go ahead" and laughed it off. And sadly Saturday night he done exactly what he told everyone he was going to do. I don't blame the girl and he was not in the wrong but it's just that he told several people he was going to kill himself and no one really took him seriously or thought anything about it.

Whose humor became dark and twisted? Robin? Or Jim Carey? Jim Carey has always pretty much been pretty nasty with his humor. I had not noticed anything bad with Robin Williams but I never saw a comedy show of his. Just shows he played in. Most comedians these days are vulgar and nasty with their jokes. But it is because that is what sells. That is what the majority of people want to hear.
I did hear where he done a lot of work and shows for soldiers who were over seas. I thought that was pretty cool.
-
I am shocked to hear about his passing. I've watched him in so many movies; RV, Patch Adams, Dead Poets Society and more. He was an amazing comedic actor and will be missed.
-
He will be missed. Enjoyed him so much. I feel so sad for his wife and children. Losing a loved one is so hard and then for taking your own life, must have hit them really hard.

I've loved Robin Williams from the time he was in "Mork and Mindy." A true funny man that never let me down. One of the greatest comedians the world has ever known. Just a good-hearted, good-natured person. Such a sad situation.
-
He was so talented, such a shame. It's a wake up call for anyone who is depressed or has a family member who is depressed.
-
What a loss - he was a truly talented man. :(
-
My husband almost did not tell me because he knew how upset I would be. I am so very saddened by the tragedy. All of his roles were enjoyable. His comic genius will be sorely missed by many. :( :(
-
I read it, I even heard it come out of my own mouth and today I read that he was found hanged by his belt, yet I just can't seem to process it. I just watched "Hook" again. He was so vital and uplifting. I read that he was in talks for a sequel of Mrs Doubtfire and a third Night at the Museum is in post-production, along with a couple other films. It's already up on IMDb. There's a memorial up on Find-a-Grave. Here's the link: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=Williams&GSfn=Robin&GSbyrel=all&GSdy=2014&GSdyrel=in&GSob=n&GRid=134211597&df=all& :rose::(
You can leave "flowers" there. I liked so many things he did it's hard to pick a favorite. :heart: :peace: :angel11:
-
RIP SIR
-
I will remember him as a comedian, and an actor.
-
He was a really funny guy and wonderful actor. He will be missed dearly. RIP Mr. Williams we will always laugh at your Mrs. Doubtfire. :angel11: :thumbsup: :angel11:
-
Robin Williams was an amazing actor. I loved watching him in Mork and Mindy!!!
One if my fav movies of his was Dead Poets Society.
RIP Robin!
-
Such a terrible loss. He was a wonderfully talented actor and comedian.
-
Sad to see him go. I remember seeing Robin Williams for the first time on Happy Days. And the spin off Mork & Mindy. (nano nano)
-
This has really shocked and sadden me. He was such a remarkable talented individual. He always made me laugh. I have enjoyed him since he started on Mork and mindy. I also liked himin good morning Vietnam, mrs doubtfire and goodwill hunting.
They were talking on the news about his addictions and depressions etc and they mentioned that a person with depression and/or other mental illnesses in their sixties is in the highest demographic to commit suicide.
The whole thing is so tragic! :rainbow: :rose: :peace: :wave:
-
I will probably remember him most for Dead Poets Society, Good Will Hunting, Mrs. Doubtfire, and Patch Adams.
It is often true that people who bring joy to others are often themselves struggling against darkness/depression. Everybody I know who is an "encourager" feels discouraged a lot of the time. Where are strongest gifting lies, that is where we will be under the greatest attack.
If you know anyone with a gift for bringing joy to others, take it upon yourself to be the one that brings joy to them. You don't have to ask if they need it, ten to one they do.
-
Rip Robin u will be deeply missed a great comedian can't believe he committed suicide
-
will be missed depression can cause people to think there is no hope.
-
This is very sad. I heard about this yesterday. Depression is not a nice thing to deal with. I remember him from way back starting with Happy Days and then Mork and Mindy and all his movies.
-
Some deaths I just think "sad to hear" and move on. This one I was deeply saddened by/ :(
-
I will remember Robin Williams for his courage in fighting a condition, depression, that is still seen by many as something not to be talked about. Of course he was a genius and his many TV, movie, and comedy moments will live on but I hope his death will also serve as reminder for us that depression is not a choice.
-
I grew up watching Mork and Mindy and even wanted a par of rainbow colored suspenders he wore in that show :) ..(this was the 70s and I was a kid - give me a break)...
I enjoyed the BirdCage and Ms.Doubtfire.
What a talent that had so much to live for, but he apparently didn't seem to think so. :confused1:
-
It is so tragic when suicide is involved. Depression is treatable. If you are struggling with depression or know someone who is, please don't be afraid to seek help.
-
I sure will missed Robin Williams very much. I like his movies and show. He always looks so happy, never know he suffer from depression. :(
-
he will truly missed he made everyone laugh i remember him on morek and mindy and ms. doubtfire was my favorite :rose: :rose:
-
What an amazing talent. What a wide range he had of zany comedy and meaningful dramatic roles.
How tragic that he had to suffer so from depression. :(
Very sad to have left us so soon, but he left a wonderful legacy of films. :rainbow:
-
I feel so bad about this. It just shows sometimes the funniest people are the saddest people. RIP Robin Williams.
-
It is so sad to loose such a talented comedian and actor. He will be greatly missed by all of us but long remembered.
-
Mrs. Doubtfire. My absolute favorite robin williams movie. So sad that he never found his own peace
-
You know, it's funny, I just saw a news brief, did not follow the link, but it said after public out cry the graphic details of his death will be released. Really!?! It's none of no one's business other that the immediate family. His daughter was attacked online and even had photo shopped pics of her father's supposed dead body posted on her twitter account. I don't get people at all. I know a lot of fans are like oh wow I can't believe he died. But his family are hurting and grieving and people in this country who demand details of his death need to be took out and shot and have that posted all over the internet. Changes the tune when it hits closer to home. People think they have a right to know all the details until it is their family then they scream mind your own. Where are Robin's rights? His medical info should be protected and not released to anyone other than his wife and or kids.
-
Rest In Peace Mr. Williams.
-
loved him! so so sad!! :heart: :sad1:
-
I was so said to hear of his passing. He was truely one of a kind.
-
I will remember Robin for his improv comedy on stage. As an actor I can't say he was great but he played his parts well and two of the best movies around do him credit, specifically 'Good Morning Vietnam' and 'Good Will Hunting'.
-
Rest in peace Robin....on a side note we will still see him this year. I think, I heard he has 4 movies coming out yet.
-
I will miss this wonderful actor,father,and human being greatly and only wish his family heals quickly and that his soul is resting in peace.
-
I was shocked and in disbelief about his passing. He was wonderfully talented. Like you, I loved his comedy. He will certainly be missed by so many.
-
I always remember him in Mork and Mindy.. I wish he would of gotten help, poor man.
-
Mrs Doubtfire but I would have loved to meet this guy he seemed so happy an fun to be around
-
I could really see his depression :( on his movie Mrs. Doubtfire.
If you look back at his earlier movies you can see his face expression happier.
He will be missed. Don't we all wish we could have done something? Don't know, take him as a hostage to a lost island or something, just to save him from death :'( away from debts, nothing to worry about.
-
He was really good at making people laugh. Nano nano Im not sure how to actually spell it. He was depressed. He was also diagnosed with parson disease. May he rip
-
I will remember him as one of the funniest comedians ever plus as a very good actor. He was a giant in the entertainment industry and it is very sad to lose him.
:dog:
-
RIP Legend, I'll miss your laughter. Mrs Doubt fire still rocks!!!
-
I was really shocked about his passing. My heart goes out to his family. I haven't really followed his more current projects, but I really did like him in a number of his movies, including Patch Adams, Jumanji and Mrs Doubtfire.
-
Robin Williams died of apparent suicide. He was sixty three years old. This is such a tragedy. He will be tremendously missed.
How will you remember Robin Williams?
I will remember him as one of the best comedy and actor of all times. He was funny and enjoyed making others laugh, it just so hard to believe that his was depressed because he always looked happy. I keep on thinking of the Movie Fluber that he played in that movie was very funny and entertaining.
-
RIP I will miss him he played in so many good movies
-
Rest in peace Robin....on a side note we will still see him this year. I think, I heard he has 4 movies coming out yet.
I think you're right, there are still four movies coming out.
-
I will always think very good and positive about him...I think he will be truly missed not only by his family members but also by all his fans :)))) R>I>P
-
It is very sad, he was a good man and one of the few that I really enjoyed on the funny department, a true natural actor. May his family be at peace and hopefully this would bring the stigma of mental health out of the closet, this issue needs to talk as much as aids
-
Just yesterday I was watching Mrs. Doubtfire and I realized what a great actor he was. RIP
-
Inbelievable to say the least! He was one of the most intelligent, kind-hearted, passionate, hard working actors out there. It seems like the smarter you are the harder it is for you to accept yourself. A good friend with an IQ over one hundred and forty two told me that he drank more and did drugs so that he could bring himself down to the level of the common man. He had mastered patience with those who weren't as gifted as he was and was very kind hearted and free with compliments. He, sadly enough, also commited suicide and was severely depressed. The truly unfortunate thing is the example this sets. So many people see these wonderful people taking their lives and they wonder what they have to live for.
-
Mrs.Doubtfire
-
Still can't believe he's gone. So tragic.
-
rip robin!!!!!
