Robin Williams found dead inside his home

[SnoopyDawgDawg]

Snipped:

The song line, 'The tears of a clown, when there's no one around', comes to mind.

That line came to mind for me as well, along with "Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside, learn how to hide your feelings"

When Williams auditioned for the role of Mork, the alien in Happy Days, he sat in his chair head-first, alien-style, when producer Garry Marshall invited him to sit. With that, Williams instantly won the role.

What are the odds.... that not an hour after I learned of Robin Williams' death that a guy pulls up beside us at a red light blaring "Dude Looks like a Lady." It brought a smile to my face and a pang to my heart as I remembered Mrs Doubtfire dancing with the vacuum cleaner. I pray he knew he was loved. RIP.

So very sorry. Seems there is a very dark side to comedic genius. RIP Robin.

I've seriously been crying.
When trying to explain why.. to my 30 year old daughter. I realized this.
This current world that I'm trying to survive in. Is nearly apololic.
The atrocities in the middle east leave me stunned.
The actions of our American politicians. Leave me stunned.
Losing Robin Williams to suicide. I'm as saddened. As if we'd lost a great leader.
Well. Maybe. We just did.
I will miss you Robin.

Me too, Kali. It's devastating. What on earth is going on in our world. There is something seriously wrong. :cry:

Interesting article from April about Robin Williams and other comedians with depression/bipolar disorder.

Bipolar disorder, I never knew. I heard the news of his death at a restaurant earlier this evening, at my son's 30th birthday party. Not a good time to hear it, and I was devastated then, as I still am now, pacing back and forth across my back porch trying to make sense of it all.

Yet there is no sense to make of it, none at all. This man had more talent than I can imagine, most people, including myself, would gladly pay to have it, give their eye teeth, etc. It's unspeakable, it's horrific, it's beyond tragic... and I am struggling to make sense of it all. But I know that is impossible.

RIP Robin. You were loved by millions.

Hugh Jackman played Memphis, Mumble's Dad in Happy Feet (my apologies!). My girls corrected me straight away as soon as they heard the news - and reminded me that Mr. Williams played two roles in Happy Feet.

To make up for it, here are a few quotes and images :heartluv:

"Ladies, please avert your eyes... 'cause I've been known to hypnotize."
"Put your flippers up. Fluff him up a little bit. And give him a great big hug."
"I hear them. They speak to me."

"I'm gonna be telling your story, Happy Feet, long after you're dead and gone!"

―Lovelace

"Let me tell something to you, l know size can be daunting, but don't be afraid. l love you. I LOVE YOU!"

At the end of the credits in Happy Feet, Ramón pops his head up out of the iris and says "Gracias".

Had a bit of a cry when the news hit here in Australia about 6 hours ago........I was about 13/14 when Mork and Mindy started here, everyone and I mean everyone here young and old watched and loved that show..........I had a huge crush on Mork..........I have loved so many of his other characters and films, but Robin Williams will always be Mork to me.................nanoo nanoo you loveable ratbag! :ufo::cry:

So deeply, deeply saddened by this news. The demons of mental illness are relentless.

I had read about his bipolar disease many years ago. I also read that he had said to close friends and in some interviews that the terrible conflict of the meds was that they stabilized his thoughts and the bipolar swings, but blunted his creative, comedic spontaneous monologues, for which he was so talented and revered.

So, so many of our incredibly talented artists are plagued with mental illness and addictions. Such a cruel and heartbreaking reality for all who love and admire them.

He is missed already by so many millions. I'm so sad that he died alone, feeling so despondent.

He gave so generously to so many, with his time, money, and self. Such a tremendous loss. I wish he could have really, really known and embraced how loved and appreciated he was, by so many.

The world mourns a great and unique talent, and a kind and generous man.

Orson: The report, Mork.
Mork: This week I discovered a terrible disease called loneliness.
Orson: Do many people on Earth suffer from this disease?
Mork: Oh yes sir, and how they suffer. One man I know suffers so much he has to take a medication called bourbon, even that doesn't help very much because then he can hear paint dry.
Orson: Does bed rest help?
Mork: No because I've heard that sleeping alone is part of the problem. You see, Orson, loneliness is a disease of the spirit. People who have it think that no one cares about them.
Orson: Do you have any idea why?
Mork: Yes sir you can count on me. You see, when children are young, they're told not to talk to strangers. When they go to school, they're told not to talk to the person next to them. Finally when they're very old, they're told not to talk to themselves, who's left?
Orson: Are you saying Earthlings make each other lonely?
Mork: No sir I'm saying just the opposite. They make themeslves lonely, they're so busy looking out for number one that there's not enough room for two.
Orson: It's too bad everybody down there can't get together and find a cure.
Mork: Here's the paradox sir because if they did get together, they wouldn't need one. Isn't that zenlack?

I'm so heartbroken over this. Depression is such a scary disease and such a hidden battle. RIP Robin

I know we can't talk about religion, and maybe talking about an afterlife is too close to that, but if I can just squeeze this in.....

What if Christopher Reeve and Robin Williams had a big ole reunion today?

Wouldn't that be cool? If you are sad, picture that for a bit and maybe it will help ease your sadness at least a little.

 

[KALI]

Thank you, thank you!
Yes. The thought actually brought me a small smile.
The thought is lovely.

Profoundly saddened by this...

RIP Robin Williams, with condolences to your family & loved ones left behind...and most especially love around Zelda, whose acting and singing in the movie "Were The World Mine" were notable and, well, just wonderful.

Hoping this tragic death if proved a suicide will open-up even more dialogue about the ravages of Depression and related mental illnesses, still so misunderstood.
