Members Khan Posted August 12, 2014 Members Share Posted August 12, 2014 I'll have to check out "The View" tomorrow (if it isn't a repeat) to see what Whoopi has to say. I still remember the three of them -- Whoopi, Robin, and Billy -- hosting Comic Relief every year on HBO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted August 12, 2014 Members Share Posted August 12, 2014 He was one of the absolute best of all time. His performance in Dead Poet's Society and the movie as a whole holds a special place in my heart and to fathom him not being around anymore, even if it was giving his hilarious Jack Nicholson impression, is an absolute tragedy. I loved this man so much. Rest in Peace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted August 12, 2014 Members Share Posted August 12, 2014 I never met him, but I feel like a member of my family just died.My heart is shattered. He was amazing, and a good person inside and out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted August 12, 2014 Members Share Posted August 12, 2014 I didn't believe my mom when she told me while ago. Been off the net for hours watching Murphy Brown instead. I'm in a legit total state of shock. Especially about the suicide part. I just can't wrap my head around it. I feel terrible for his family. Especially his kids. I believe his daughter Zelda is close to my age and I just can't imagine how bad it is for her right now. Jesus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 12, 2014 Members Share Posted August 12, 2014 Awful news. I think my favorite movie of his was Mrs. Doubtfire, which was such a funny film, but with a serious, important message. I think the end moments of the movie are some of his best work. I'll always remember his smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AdelaideCate007 Posted August 12, 2014 Members Share Posted August 12, 2014 This is just so sad. I know it sounds cliche and trite, but as a kid growing up with parents who fought all the time and eventually divorced, Mrs. Doubtfire was *the* movie and such a comfort. The part at the end with "just because they don't love each other doesn't mean that they don't love you" was a message I needed to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted August 12, 2014 Members Share Posted August 12, 2014 I am beyond shocked.....he wasn't my favorite actor, but he was a wonderful comedian who I grew up with as a number of his films including Aladdin are my favorite! RIP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alexisfan07 Posted August 12, 2014 Members Share Posted August 12, 2014 Just completely gutted and devastated. To think he how deeply he must have been suffering and for so long, even with a wife and children. It's just horrible to think about. I just hope he's at peace now. RIP Robin Williams, one of the most legendary artists and souls this Earth shall ever know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ThePrinceOfSunspear Posted August 12, 2014 Members Share Posted August 12, 2014 Horrible.....The Genie from Aladdin...I mean Jesus. Mrs. Doubtfire. Good Will Hunting....just crazy. And of course it has to be suicide which just makes it all the more sad. I just don't understand how people can do that their loved ones. Forget about all the fans and the countless people he's made laugh...he left behind 3 innocent kids who don't deserve this and a wife who's probably torn to shreds.....I just don't get it.

Members DaytimeFan Posted August 12, 2014 Members Share Posted August 12, 2014 How very sad. I thought of Sally Field first. Of all his films, I think 'Mrs Doubtfire' is the one that touched a generation of children when they needed it most and will be the work he is most fondly remembered for. What a shame.

Members juppiter Posted August 12, 2014 Members Share Posted August 12, 2014 I loved Robin Williams. He cracked me up in Mrs. Doubtfire, which I have seen about 500 times, and he made me cry in Good Will Hunting, which I have seen just as many times. This is tragic. I never would have guessed he was so depressed. You never know I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members applcin Posted August 12, 2014 Members Share Posted August 12, 2014 This is so sad. One of my favorite films of his is Awakenings. I love how both he and DeNiro played against type. And one of the patients in the film was played by Charles Keating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
