BREAKING NOW: Robin Williams Found Dead

[GWV5903]

Very sad, enjoyed his performances for years...

Thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones...

Hard to believe...

Marin County. Apparent suicide.


More to follow as details become available...

Just came home and saw this sad news. What a wonderful talent we have lost. RIP Robin Williams and thank you.

My fave film of Robin Williams:

Mine too sweetie.. I own it on Blue Ray.. Amazing talent. The world is a shade of gray without laughter from Robin Williams. Fly free...

It's a great movie...but you need to see the French one it is based on ...La Cage au Folles....even funnier.

re: no. 3 It's actually Pryor I'm fairly certain. Not a fan, but am really anal about respecting people by getting their names right.

Thanks for the correction!

66 movies in a 35 year career. And all the television, stand up, interviews...

Please, let's keep this thread as a memorial thread. I just deleted nearly 75 posts.

Anyone who wants to talk about Jesus, or how much they think Robin Williams sucked, do it somewhere else. Start your own threads about it.

This thread is not for flaming or ranting.

Robin Williams' Final Tweet: "GISMYS Made Me Do It"

 

[Mr. H.]

He is the last actor whom I would have expected to take his own life.
Just the antithesis of his outward self.

my favorite movie with Williams

is The Fisher King

Requiescat in pace

RIP.......best movie he ever did, imo, was "The World According to Garp". If you never saw it, make it a point to check it out......a rollercoaster of emotions.

OP how did you miss the existing thread on this subject ? It's been at the top of the page all evening.

Jonathan Winters - he had that same lightening fast mind that Williams had.

Damn.

This really is a sad loss. He should have been able to hold grandchildren on his knee on the rocker on the front porch.

I'd take Dice and Kinison off the list, and add Cosby and Winters.

And yes, a sad loss.

Some of the older ones....Jack Benny, Bob Hope, Ernie Kovacs.

Lucille Ball
Phyllis Diller(one of the first 'crazy" that was accepted)
Art Carney
Richard Pryor
Steven Wright

that thread was killed!!! It seems to be anti God!!!

Everything is God. You've said so yourself. Even that which is anti-God is God.

Suicide??Gone at 63, children left fatherless, wonder why no one could (would)help him! How sad!!

Until they release specific details, the American public is free to entertain themselves by speculating about the the death of a celebrity just as they were entertained by the fake characters that he represented. My guess about the medical examiner quick verdict of "asphyxiation" is that he hanged himself.
