comic and a great actor. Too bad his last film had to be "Night In The Museum III".

There's a history of great actor deaths and horrible last films. I mean... Orson Wells' swansong? Transformers The Movie.

I hate suicide, absolutely hate that it's a path so many people feel they have to take. Sorry to hear that your battle got the best of you Robin.

He along with Jonathan Winters were the true kings of comedy. Unmatched masters of improv.

The higher Williams's profile rose, the more politically vocal he became. Williams was a major Democratic contributor. His contributions over the years topped $150,000 to Democratic candidates and liberal causes.

During the Mork and Mindy era, a lovely, older woman who I worked with was thrilled when her husband bought them both tickets to see Robin Williams perform live, on stage, in Boston. The woman talked about the upcoming show for weeks in advance. When she returned to work in the days after the show, everyone asked, "how was it?" She was visibly despondent, saying the language and performance was so filthy and obscene that most people walked out. Obviously, a troubled guy for a long time.

Somehow the tale about the Robin Williams stand-up event when "most" of the audience walked out because they were shocked--SHOCKED by the filth got past my radar, but hey--great story, bro. Just please make sure that someone drops a line to Adam when you shuffle off this mortal coil so we can all return the sentiment--"no loss."

Great story bro? Not siding with fish comment but no. Just no Sally

My only objection to your post is why you think O-Fish represents anyone other than himself?

But his primary objection to Williams--enough to seem his death "no loss"--was his contribution to the Democratic Party. Ridiculous, nasty troll-bait and I shouldn't have even responded.

Stage Fright by the Band seems hauntingly appropriate.

I looked at several versions and this one seems best. http://youtu.be/ZIfKkV77lqM

I thought of what Maron used to say about what a shark pit a comic's job is and how hollow the ascent can be when you finally get to the top.

Not one fucking tribute to Robin has been about his political leanings. Few of the remembrances have been about his early stand-up in comparison to his award-winning movie and TV show roles.

To characterize him that way in a way to awkwardly and backhandedly dismiss him as "no loss" is so disgustingly mindless that I have lost what little respect I might have held out for you and your opinions.

..at G Plus is an avalanche of appreciations and thank you's from every corner of the planet.

I have a feeling the O Fish Al sawmill canary fart won't carry very far.

Tack on there work for the homeless with the co-founding of Comic Relief ($80 million raised over the years); long-time support for children with cancer through St. Jude Children's Research Hospital; spinal injury - Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation; and more cancer funding through the LiveStrong Foundation.

Yeah, no loss there at all. I mean he never posted hateful, ignorant shit on a blog.

That you are a horrible human being? At this point I really don't think you're just an online troll, but an actual disgrace as a person. I'm sure your mom is ashamed of what you've become.

You O-FISH-L are a despicable sub-human being. No loss???? This man was one of the biggest supporters of those in the military...including me. To call helping those in need...which was his lifelong pursuit... "liberal causes" shows how sorry you are.

Of course "helping those in need" is a liberal cause. What planet are you from? The only cause conservatives support anymore is "Fuck you, Jack, I've got mine."

Thanks to liberal policies like pension and healthcare for former police officers like him.

At least he doesn't have a gun to impose his hatefully bad judgement or lack of compassion on others anymore.

During the Mork and Mindy era..

Then she didn't see a Robin Williams show.
She saw Cocaine Featuring a Guest Appearance from Robin Williams.

Your inability to grasp that, in addition to your 30+ year grudge on behalf of someone else and your deep need to make this political are... weird.

WBC to picket Robin Williams' funeral

If I ever found myself allied to monsters like these, I'd take a step back to reconsider my life choices. Here's a golden opportunity for you to do the same.

I enjoyed Good Will Hunting immensely, but Robin Williams, along with the young Matt Damon, was a real standout in this film.

RIP, Robin Williams.

I too remember with great fondness watching "Mork & Mindy". I loved his dramatic work as well. It is so sad that such brilliance so often consumes itself far too soon.

Thanks, Robin, for the wonderful body of work you've left us. I will cherish it always.
Peace to your loved ones.

Sweet homage to Williams at the park bench that was the site of a memorable scene from Good Will Hunting.
