A lot of people my age remember him as Genie or Peter Pan in Hook or Mrs. Doubtfire. Sad.

Goodbye Robin.
May you finally find peace.

Re: He's dead, Jim.
They didn't even bother to try writing lines for him when he played the Genie on Aladdin. They had entire blocks of script that simply read "Robin Williams says/does something funny here."
Always the ones who laugh the hardest that hurt the most.

I remember during the birth of my daughter I kept thinking of Robin Williams in Nine Months: "This is why women have the baby, because men can't handle paaaaaaaaaaaaa-" *thump*.

Re: He's dead, Jim.
In many cases it's exactly the reverse. Humor is a very strong and easy to utilize defense mechanism for many people, particularly comedians. Also problems in life often translate quite well to new material. It's often said that the worst thing that can happen to a comedian is for him to become happy.

Addiction and depression are tough. It's a shame.

"A face! A face! I need A FACE!"
*quickly dunks head into meringue frosting and looks up*
Mottled British-Canadian accent: "Oh! I'm sorey ta frighten ya dear, I must louk like a Yeti in this gettop."
*proceeds to drip melting meringue into cups of tea while being a total buffoon*
Mrs. Doubtfire will always be one of my favorite childhood comedies. RIP.
I recall liking Patch Adams, but I was probably too young to understand some of it. He was great as the Genie in Disney's Aladdin. Dead Poets' Society is still a classic that gets whipped out when high school English lit teachers want a couple of days off to grade papers.
Jumanji and Hook were other childhood favorites, but repeat viewings of both as an adult sadly don't hold up anywhere near as well, and it was obvious that Jumanji was just a vehicle to sell the board game (which I owned and enjoyed
).
Also liked him as TR in Night at the Museum.
A bit ashamedly, I never did see his more dramatic stuff like Awakenings and Good Will Hunting. I'll have to put both on the list very soon.

Re: He's dead, Jim.
Not to mention Chris Farley and Mitch Hedberg. They could joke around, have fun, party like animals. But inside, they were greatly conflicted individuals. Applies to many a famous musician as well - Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Steve Clark, Brad Delp, Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse, Jani Lane, Zakk Wylde (who is somehow still alive, but he'll likely never admit to being a serious alcoholic), etc. Then there are a few that eventually recovered and survived (some with more than a bit of luck) - Ozzy, Alice Cooper, Nikki Sixx, Slash, Chris Cornell, Mark Lanegan, Tad Doyle, etc. etc. etc.
When Stevie Wonder & Hank Cosby wrote, and Smokey Robinson sang, "Tears of a Clown" in 1970, I doubt any of them had any idea how germane it would end up being over the years.

Or John Belushi
Robin was the second coming of Jonathan Winters, another comic genius with demons. Both were some of the best improvisers ever with an array of characters. They also enjoyed playing older women: Maude Frickert and Mrs. Doubtfire. Winters was his idol and appeared as his and Mindy's child in Mork and Mindy's last season.
