That's a shocker.

[Melanie]

But oh, to be free. Not to have to go "Poof! What do you need, "Poof! What do you need, Poof! What do you need?". To be my own master. Such a thing would be greater than all the magic and all the treasures in all the world. But what am I talking about? Let's get real here, that's never gonna happen. Genie, wake up and smell the hummus.

Rest easy, Genie.

What a terrible loss.

Such sad news. What a great career, so many memorable roles and comedy specials. He brought laughter and lightness into so many lives.

Still in shock. Dead Poet's Society. One of my favorite movies.

So sad. I hope this tragedy can be a wake up call to those suffering from depression to seek the help they need. He will be greatly missed.

Thinking of a Birdcage and Hook double feature is in order.

So sad. So much talent. RIP Mr. Williams.

So sad. He has battled addiction and depression so long. He was one of my favorites.

DD mentioned this yesterday, could not believe it. My thoughts are with the family so very sad.

I can still recall watching the episode of Happy Days (initial airing) where Mork from Ork was introduced.

Very sad, he was truly a comedic genius.

YES! I remember him on Happy Days as well. Was reading something from Henry Winkler last night where he was recalling how he'd have to stifle his laughter when filming with Robin, he was just that funny.

Robin Williams...an incredibly gifted man. Talent beyond. Comic and timing genius.

He WAS genie. He owned that! I recently read that he barely followed the script. It was all his improv genius.

I am truly sad, that he lived in darkness, while making me laugh. I can only hope and pray that he is at peace, while my thoughts and prayers are with his family, as they pick up the pieces from this tragedy.

I can't stop crying. It is so sad that this time around he could not crawl out of the black hole of depression that so many of us suffer from. Do not be fooled by the laughter on the outside, it so often covers the pain inside.
RIP Robin, you will be missed and remembered with love by many.

I've read quotes from directors that when working with Robin, they'd simply just let the camera keep rolling and not try to control it, just capture it.

love that!!! what a sad day when you think of all the funny roles he played. You would never think he was suffering so much in private. He will be missed by so many generations..

[PirateLover]

Very, very saddened by this news. No one seems to have a bad word to say about him. He certainly brought hours and hours of joy to my life. Rest in Peace, Robin.

As sad as his passing is, the wonderful thing about his life is that his talent lives on in his body of work, and we can continue to enjoy his performances for years to come. He left a wonderful legacy behind that will provide many bright spots of laughter to people all over the world on a continuous basis. R.I.P.

[Zawadi]

Still hard to believe

In a sad way the genie finally got his wish to be free
