Wow. I don't even know what to say right now.

Rest in peace to a living comedic legend. My condolences to Zelda and the Williams family.

My father (who also considered a career in stand up) was a big fan of his stand ups and met him on numerous occasions since he first started his career in Laughlin, so this just hit him very hard...

Awful news. Time to watch Hook and Mrs. Doubtfire again. At least Mrs. Doubtfire 2 wont happen now.

I really wanted to see how weirdly contrived the setup would be. Just watched a weird The Untold Story of Mork and Mindy thing Lionel Mandrake linked a few days ago.

I forgot all about Death to Smoochy. And Mrs. Doubtfire.

Do we have the confirmation from one of his relative?

It seems very real:

His wife Susan Schneider said in a statement, “I am utterly heartbroken. On behalf of Robin’s family, we are asking for privacy during our time of profound grief. As he is remembered, it is our hope the focus will not be on Robin’s death, but on the countless moments of joy and laughter he gave to millions.”

Every reputable movie site is reporting it.

RIP
 
Wow I literally grew up watching his movie. 90 kids. Loved jumanji, Jack, patch Adams, Mrs doubt fire, good will hunting, bicentinial man .


Omg I'm shocked right now
 
Aladdin, Mrs. Doubtfire, and Good Will Hunting were influential to me growing up. A relative of mine died of suicide earlier this year, so learning of another death by suicide hurts. It is very unfortunate that nobody could reach Robin Williams during his depression.
 
I'm seeing lots of people posting about depression etc, was he suffering from a severe mental issue?

I'm very sad this happened (what a great actor and human being), but at the same time it's also scary. Suffering from mental issues myself, I've been deep down the rabbit hole as well and stuff like this only makes me more sad :(
 
Granny Wendy: So... your adventures are over.
Peter Banning: Oh, no. To live... to live would be an awfully big adventure.

"So if I asked you about art you’d probably give me the skinny on every art book ever written...Michelangelo? (beat) You know a lot about him. Life's work, political aspirations, him and the pope, sexual orientation, the whole works, right? But I bet you can't tell me what it smells like in the Sistine Chapel. You've never actually stood there and looked up at that beautiful ceiling. Seen that.....If I asked you about women you'd probably give me a syllabus of your personal favorites. You may have even been laid a few times. But you can't tell me what it feels like to wake up next to a woman and feel truly happy. You're a tough kid. I ask you about war, and you'd probably--uh--throw Shakespeare at me, right? "Once more into the breach, dear friends." But you've never been near one. You've never held your best friend's head in your lap and watched him gasp his last breath, looking to you for help. And if I asked you about love y'probably quote me a sonnet. But you've never looked at a woman and been totally vulnerable. Known someone could level you with her eyes. Feeling like God put an angel on earth just for you...who could rescue you from the depths of hell. And you wouldn't know what it’s like to be her angel and to have that love for her to be there forever. Through anything. Through cancer. You wouldn't know about sleeping sittin’ up in a hospital room for two months holding her hand because the doctors could see in your eyes that the term visiting hours don't apply to you. You don't know about real loss, because that only occurs when you love something more than you love yourself. I doubt you've ever dared to love anybody that much."

Few could have delivered those lines with such a gracefulness and depth of feeling, such that can only come from an older actor who's suffered the wear and tear over the years.

One of the greatest. Rest easy.

I like to think he won the Oscar for this scene alone. Such an amazing and funny man...

RIP

He was one of the first that taught me how comedy can be born out of depression, something that has helped me through my day to day life. I wish he had been aboe to find some help at the end. My thoughts are with his friends and family.
 
Holy fuck...friend just told me. I would have never thought...he always gave me the impression of like the most cheerful happy person there could be. I guess I really knew nothing about him.... fuck RIP
 
This is horrible, I just never really expected him to die. It feels though as if some people are just always going to be there.
 
this is legitimately the first time i've been completely bummed and saddened by the death of a hollywood actor. RIP robin. :(
