My first thought was that this was just another hoax!
Now I am in Disbelief! I just can't take it anymore. Too much bad news.

What a shock. Got the news via a push notice, thought it was a mistake, did a quick search and saw the news on LA Times. Apparently, suicide. What a tragedy. A man who made us all laugh, yet had dark hidden demons. So sad.

Wow, just saw this news. How awful.
So very sad. He brought laughter into so people's lives. RIP Robin Williams.

He was an amazing and original talent.
We had the pleasure of seeing him in person (though we didn't realize it at the time) in the '70s, when we went to an Andy Kaufman performance at Carnegie Hall.
Andy made a big deal of how he had always promised his grandmother than "some day" he would play at Carnegie Hall. Then he escorted in his frail grey haired frumpily dressed grandmother, who sat in a wing chair at the corner of the stage for the entire performance, nodding, clapping, etc - until - you guessed it - "she" ripped off the wig and cardigan and became Robin Williams. This was pre-Mrs. Doubtfire, I believe. What a treat!
Sad, just sad.

Long ago I watched a show about Johnathan Winters and how he saw Robin Williams as another just like himself. Robin held Winters in the very, very highest esteem and learned so much from him. But Winters had all kinds of demons including addiction and more. Now in retrospect, they both followed the same path.
My favorite Robin film was "Good Morning VietNam".

Just heard about this late tonight, after our weekend guests left. So very sad that a man who made so many others laugh was so unhappy. And he also did very well with the more dramatic roles.
I think the last film of his I saw was 'RV,' so that goes back a ways--and IMO it was hilarious, yet left some meaningful messages about the importance of family.

Robin Williams was one of those few comedians who could make you "rolling on the floor" with laughter. A great loss. I never read a bad word about him and in this world it is a major accomplishment and says much about him as a person. His wife said he was suffering from severe depression. He was apparently another victim of this awful disease against which little progress has been made.

Depression takes it's victims, and leaves the loved ones behind in sorrow. We need to focus on the laughter and joy Robin Williams gave this world and hope that he is now at Peace! My thoughts are with his family and friends and their sorrow thru this heartbreak!

Bi-polar aka manic-depressive disease can have monstrous consequences. I have a friend who also lives in Marin who knew him growing up, and she is devestated (plus she also has fought her own demons her entire adult life). RIP Robin Williams...your comedic legacy will endure and continue to brighten other lives.

Can't believe this sad news! Just horrible. What a terrible loss for all of us who loved him so much. He was a comic genius and a real treat to watch. He will be missed so much.

Like the rest of you, I'm deeply shocked and saddened. The world lost yet another great artist and human being.

For MANY years, I have told my wife that I thought Robin Williams "... is the funniest man on earth".
This one HURTS----a lot!
They are describing him as a "...comedic GENIUS".
Very, very accurate.
I hope that HIS hurts are over......he is in a better place.

Last year Robin Williams walked into our Charleston Apple Store and was greeted by a young male salesperson who eventually sold him an iPad. Robin didn't say who he was, he didn't act snooty or look out of the ordinary. He was just like any other customer. When it was time to close the purchase the salesperson asked if he would want him to set up the iPad for him and show him how to use it and Robin said that he would. When it came time to enter a name, the salesperson asked if he was Robin Williams and he just smiled and said he supposed that he was. My daughter worked in inventory that day and received the order to bring the iPad to the salesperson and as she walked across the store towards the customer she thought how much he looked like Robin Williams but how very short he was. As she got closer she was pretty sure it was indeed him and before she turned to go, he smiled and thanked her. He hung around the store awhile while having the iPad set up and learning some ins and outs of it, talking to a number of people there. There was a lot of excitement and talk in the Apple store that day after he left!
It's so sad that he could help so many people, bring smiles to so many faces, laughter to so many voices, yet no one was able to help him overcome his darkest depression.
