<em>Comedic actor Robin Williams died at his Northern California home Monday, law enforcement officials said. Williams was 63.</em><br /> <br /> <em>Investigators suspect "the death to be a suicide due to asphyxia," according to a statement from the Marin County, California, sheriff's office.</em><br />

so sad - I will never forget the first time I saw him as Mork - such a genius.

yes......i grew up with mork and have loved him since then! my all time favorite movie of his is DEAD POETS SOCIETY.

Awakenings is one of my favorites...

Robin was so talented - he could play drama as well as comedy.

'What Dreams May Come'

He committed suicide and I am puzzled as to why. I know in the 70's he was dealing with recreational drug addiction. He was a very talented actor.

I agree gazelle! The Birdcage is one of my all time favorites of his movies. I'm so sad, I feel like I lost someone I grew up with.

I feel as if a bright light in our world has gone out. I am VERY saddened by his death. Addiction is such a horrible thing and I'm so sorry that his battle with it wasn't successful.

He was very talented for sure. I really liked the movie Awakenings that he did with Robert DeNiro. Very sad and shocking. I feel sad for his children.

The 25-year-old actress and only daughter of the Mrs. Doubtfire star, shared a poignant quote from Antoine de Saint-Exupery's book The Little Prince on her Twitter page on the evening of Monday, Aug. 11, in memory of her dad.

"You - you alone will have the stars as no one else has them..." she wrote. “In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night... You - only you will have stars that can laugh."

Grieving Zelda finished the post with the words, "I love you. I miss you. I'll try to keep looking up, Z."
