I was a fan of Robin Williams. Although "Popeye" was a box office flop, I love the film and Williams' portrayal of the title role is brilliant.   verysad.gif

It's well-known how much pain it takes to generate comedy.  Robin Williams was a genius in a great deal of pain; I'll miss him every time I laugh and cry!

Was a considerable shock to hear the news this morning.

Condolences to his wife and children.

Truly one of the greatest comedians the world has known. He also had a keen eye on all human emotions. So sad he couldn't seem to get enough help for his own.
