Hear Hear, sometimes you have to wonder.

A great comedian & actor, he will be hugely missed... my thoughts are with his family, who must be devastated...

[Cuddlycat]

RIP

He always looked depressed to me. I can't understand why so many comedians suffer from depression.

...

Interesting.

I totally CAN understand why comedians are prone to depression. I'm not sure I can explain it though. For some insight into this, perhaps watch the t.v. "comedy" show LOUIE. It features a lot of material about depressed and even suicidal comedians.

In the 1980's I literally "ran into" Robin Williams on the streets a few times (solo, without entourage, already very famous), on Folsom Street SF, South of Market (daytime). Not sure what he was doing there. Don't even remember what I was doing there, but do remember him. Quite hairy! Apparently once named the Godfather of Hollywood Hairiness.
Yes, beyond the hair, there was indeed something very special about Robin Williams! (An amazing talent.)

" I totally CAN understand why comedians are prone to depression. I'm not sure I can explain it though."

Yes John Cleese suffers also but the most open one to talk about it was Stephen Fry , who even made a BBC documentary about his problem

I watch Stephen Fry myself as well. As sometimes his documentary helps people to understand my my problem.

Not a bipolar, but major depressive disorder.

Very nice.

Loved watching Robin Williams spare with Jonathan Winters. Two brilliant comics a generation apart.

[Pattszero]

Speechless!

 

I hope he has gone to the good side of "What Dreams May Come!"  

 

Yes -  a superb movie that deals with the suicide of his wife - it was released on netflix last month - well worth a look -

"Ah, yes, divorce... from the Latin word meaning to rip out a man's genitals through his wallet".

Robin Williams quote. One of his best.

Somebody is putting the Mork and Mindy series up on torrents if anyone is interested at the Bay of Pirates.

Mrs Doubtfire is one of my all time favourite movies. His talent were unique and everyone just loved him.

Bye old friend, take care where ever you are, you will be missed.

Simply stunned.

Devastated.

RIP funny man.

That's very powerful PS, but I think that most people would not want to remember him that way, I doubt that he would have wanted that either.

 

In that vein, here's some older footage of Robin with his mentor, in happier times:

 I always remember this interview with Michael Parkinson

[chiang mai]

There's just so much good material out there, I can't remember ever seeing anything he did that was not at least very good. It's a real loss.

[chotthee]

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood morning Thailand.

I hope it have nothing to do with Hungry Ghosts.

What a great lost.

I really like that movie, especially Chintara Sukapatana (Trinh).

Chintara is still on channel 3, a big TV star, though I guess in her early or mid 50s now plays a mother figure on I forgot which program?  She got quite overweight and has had trouble keeping the weight off, like a lot of us.

[tigerfish]

If you like Stephen Fry also here he is with Robin Williams.   It's hilarious because Robin Williams steals the interview
