:iagree: ... RIP, Robin Williams, best known to me - and countless others - as 'Mrs Doubtfire'. Splendid movie!

He was a comedy idol for sure. A real loss to the business. As far as I can remember, every film he was in was great. RIP

Tragic loss to a man who bought a smile to my face whenever I saw one of his films.

He must have been troubled?
Could always being in the spotlight bring dark moments when not? :Erm:

I enjoyed his acting, RIP.

Very sad news to wake up to this morning...

I guess we don't really know what people go through, we only see the side they play in movies, he must have been in a very dark place to take his own life.

Depression must be a very lonely illness, no trace of an injury as it's all inside. RIP Robin, a truly talented comedian and actor....

Williams called ex-wife ‘Finnipino’
LOS ANGELES—“Leon Pantaleon Garces!” I can still hear Robin Williams exclaiming, in a distinct Filipino accent, his late Pinoy father-in-law’s name.
This was during an interview just a few years back when, I also remember, Robin cracked in reply to my question about his wife Marsha Garces, “She’s Finnipino. You get lechon with white fish.” On the spot, Robin had coined that term for Marsha’s Filipino-Finnish heritage.
“Balut! Balut!” Robin suddenly yelled in another interview. And at the end of yet another exchange, the actor-comedian hollered in my direction, “Salamat!”
Most comedians are quiet and serious in person, some even boring. Not Robin. He was warm and friendly—he put on a one-man show for you. He was a great mimic, so those Tagalog words sounded absolutely authentic.
Thus, the news of Robin’s passing on Monday in California made me very sad. I actually shed a tear.

Yes, I was surprised to hear that he had a Philippines connection.
A man of good taste. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Mrs D told me that. I always think of the Philippines when I hear him say this in Good Morning Vietnam :biggrin:

What do you think it's going to be like tonight? "It's gonna be hot and wet! That's nice if you're with a lady, but it ain't no good if you're in the jungle." Thank you, Roosevelt. Here's a song coming your way right now. "Nowhere To Run To" by Martha and the Vandellas.

:gp:! BEEN there ... and it sure IS!

:please: ... never, ever underestimate its pain :nono-1-1: ... mentally, it's on a par with the sheer physical torture of toothache, believe me!

Wouldn't have thought that of you Arthur, you seem a very composed person, sorry to know of your past suffering!

Thanks, Michael. Admittedly, it was a very long time ago! Even so, I can still vividly recall how terribly low I felt at the time ... and wouldn't wish an experience like that on my worst enemy. :NoNo:
