And he had tens of millions but that was not enough. Still it is a shock and so sad. Williams was, as Steven Spielberg said "Lightning storm of comic genius".

And the stigma of mental problems keeps most people from seeking help. We need to change our opinions on mental health and mental conditions.

Sad.

See ya on the other side, Robin.

Robin was one of the best parts of my life. He's gone too soon.

Often the best comedians have the hardest of lives though.

I agree completely. One by one the people who helped shape my past are passing... some more tragically than others :( It is the hard part of getting older and reminds me of my parents when Jack Benny and Bob Hope and Frank Sinatra died... pieces of their life died with them... and now it's my turn.

Serious +1 there.
Mr. Williams was one of three comedians to make me laugh uncontrollably. Rapid fire delivery as a stand-up comic was second to none.

And the man was a comedian. He wasn't one of our tough guy greats, he was a comedian. Sometimes, it takes a master of the idiotic and the crazy to portray the idiotic and the crazy.

He wasn't just funny, he was a superb actor. He was a cut above. So many of the guys I see on Netflix, they are funny, but they do so in such an average ordinary fashion.

Some days I'm afraid to look for how many of the greats of my youth are still with us. It's sad to sometimes discover the information.

Its strange (maybe?) but so many comedians/comediennes make really good serious actors/actresses.

You must be like me - of a certain age - yes its is sad, and scary too

This had the potential to be a great movie.

Williams did a good job but the writer or director or somebody made a poor decision and the ending was a bit lame.

I always thought a better ending would have turned it into a great movie. Instead it is remembered as ordinary.
