I never met him, but this does make me cry. I grew up watching him on Happy Days first, then Mork & Mindy, from there I was hooked. I so wish this was not true.

Its hard to believe some one so full of laugh and laughter, could take their own life. Depression is an illness that effects the hole family. I am so sorry for the families loss also Americas loss. He will be missed, but we will see him in all of his great roles. Good Bye Robin Williams, May God have mercy on your soul. I pray you are in Heaven and walking with Jesus and the angles gathered around him.

I am so sad that you left us. I wished you had asked for serious help. Many of us are bi-polar. I was uplifted. Watching you when I was depressed . You are missed. An emptiness exist now in this world . I pray your in the arms of God. You gave your life making so many people happy. I pray your now very happy in Heaven. Will always miss you.

Rest in peace Mr Williams and may his family and friends take comfort in the fact that their loved one brought so much joy and laughter to millions of people around the world.

Met Robin once lifetimes ago. In kid Angeles. He was a hairy-armed mime that I watched for an hour before he came over and said hi. That smile was so disarming but hid some pain and shyness. Imo.

Great memory - thanks for the share! What year was this? If Robin was playing a mime (I assume on a street?) it must have been before he got his first acting role in Laugh-In in 1977?

It was late 60's, if I'm not misremembering, and yes, a street mime like Shields and Yarnell used to do as well. I hung out in LA a great deal when I was a teenager. Met a number of "stars". Robin affected me personally, though, because I perceived him as an incredibly beautiful spirit so full of light and hurt. I miss him terribly.

Funny...because of shelter in place my hair is about the same length as Robin's hair in this photo. So shelter in place = 1970s hair for men :)

Robin McLaurin Williams was born to Robert Fitgerald Williams and Laurie "Punky" McLaurin Smith at St Luke’s Hospital in Chicago Illinois. He had two older half-brothers.
He described himself as a quiet child and that he overcame his shyness in high school when he got involved with the drama club.
Robin Williams is best remembered for bringing his comedy and quick wit to television and films. His credits on film and television are numerous, his talent and wit in concert legendary. See a partial list of his credits at Robin Williams Filmography
Robin's first memorable character was "Mork" on the television show "Mork and Mindy". He said that he was thrilled when comedian Jonathan Winters joined the cast as their son, since Jonathan was a comedic hero of his. That made sense, since they both used a stream of consciousness approach to their humor. They both also suffered from depression.
