LEGENDS NEVER DIE. Robin lives on in our hearts. Prolific genius ❗❗

[@fidenemini111]

Amen.

[@quintbromley2112]

The loss of Robin Williams was so difficult for me because I had no idea the extent of his mental suffering. The fact that he brought so much joy and laughter to the world stands in stark relief to the person we did not know. It's a cruel joke, but perhaps, even in his darkest hour, there was some comfort knowing he had made so many of us happy. I hope so.

[@bluebutterflywellness2273]

You can see Dick trying to break Robin's mask to get to the core of the person behind the personna, but the nucleus of this whole conversation and his eventual end is that people prefer to be entertained by the image rather than know the man in all his flaws. R.I.P. Mr. Robin Williams 🙏🏽💕

[@shawnc318]

Yes!!

[@CyberspacedLoner]

Rest in Peace Robin Williams, it is almost 10 years ago you left this world in August 2014

[@zovalentine7305]

Rest in peace my favorite celebrity and homie of all time 🙏 Robin McLaurin Williams 21 July 1951 ~ 11 August 2014⚘

[@RikRiorik]

This man brought me so much happiness. Thank you.

[@PaulBrown-il3wl]

Loved his acting work. Very few had his presence.

[@williamshaw9047]

The film he references around the nine-minute mark is Fritz Lang's "M", where Peter Lorre whistles "In the Hall of the Mountain King" before he kills kids.

[@minsterhill]

fantastic interview.

[@kickstar1]

He was a tough loss. I remember the day Mork appears on Happy Days and all my 5th grade friends were talking about it. Then Mork hit and it was a phenomenon. Then I grew up with his movies and watched him morph into a damn good actor. Then his career faded a bit to supporting roles but everyone still loved him. Then he committed suicide in a horrific way. Truly soul crushing.

Watch a few interviews with Jimi Hendrix. Robin's cadence and pauses are very similar.

Do you think incanting magic words will bring about more magic?

Something you will apparently not ever know. I am not a believer, however, I don't belittle ones that are, because if the study of the bible helps a person, they are stronger then not.@@TheDanEdwards
