What a shocker. He was a great talent. Just don't know why these celebrities think they can't perform without drugs. How many lives have been wasted??

A huge loss. The most brilliant comedian of out era. Such a tragedy...depression/addiction.

That's it, DT.

More often than not, the two go hand-in-hand .

RIP Robin Williams. Popeye, Moscow on the Hudson, Good Morning, Vietnam, Mrs. Doubtfire, Fathers' Day, What Dreams May Come, and One Hour Photo were his best works in my opinion. His last stand up performance a few years ago had me rolling.

Best to wait for the Marin County officials to determine the cause of death.

Beyond sad that a man who brought so much joy to others could not find any of his own.

I think that's the saddest part.

Rest in peace, Robin.

This just guts me so badly. I grew up watching Robin Williams during the 90s, and seeing his classics. He just made everybody feel better, and forget their own problems. I will always remember him for being one of the funniest, and most sincere actor of his time. And, also a man with a really big heart helping Christopher Reeve after his accident.

I really hope he is at peace, and condolences to his family/friends.

So sad to hear. I will always remember him as the the guy who couldn´t sit still for 20 seconds. He was amazingly funny and his brilliant prformance in "Awakenings", show what a multitalented and versatile great actor he was. RIP Robin Williams.

Tears of a clown...

Sometimes medication can put you into a state of depression. When you hit an older age you go on more medications. Some of them have different side effects on different people who take them.

I take two that you see in lawyer commercials for suing the manufactures. I am fine taking them. But other people can have a problem with taking them.

RIP Robin Williams. Very sad news he played a massive part in my childhood, with Jumanji, Hook and Fathers Day. Also now i respect some of his dramatic roles like One Hour Photo and Good Will Hunting.

Some guy apparently predicted it on IGN three days before it happened .

Creepy. And some of the jerks on that site apparently think it's funny .

Apparently they were roommates when they both were attending Juilliard. Here's a particularly touching (and typically hilarious) quote from Reeve's autobiography regarding a visit from Robin at the hospital:

"Then, at an especially bleak moment, the door flew open and in hurried a squat fellow with a blue scrub hat and a yellow surgical gown and glasses, speaking in a Russian accent. He announced that he was my proctologist, and that he had to examine me immediately...it was Robin Williams...for the first time since the accident, I laughed. My old friend had helped me know that somehow I was going to be okay."

This is terrible news, just goes to show that we know nothing until it is too late. A comedy genius who obvisoly had personal issues, but i'm shocked to read that he died via suicide. I always liked Mrs Doubtfire..

I know what you mean. Public figures die all the time, young and old, but this one had more of a personal effect on me.

Lauren Bacall, husband of Humphrey Bogart, died today at 89. RIP

Haven't heard this on tv yet, but Lauren Bacall, 89, reportedly died from a stroke.

She was a great film star. Loved her in The Mirror has to Faces! RIP Lauren!

Fuck...this is turning into a horrible week...is she considered the second or third? I don't know if I can take another beloved person going away.

RIP to a really great lady, and now she is with her husband again.

RIP to one of the greats. "Key Largo" is in my top ten of all time list.

And geez, if she was 89, Bogie would have to be about 120 today. He liked them young, God love him .

Robin Williams and now Lauren Bacall. They say deaths come in 3's, hopefully it's not true this time

Lauren Bacall was one of my very favorite actresses. Bogie was my favorite actor. Obviously I love the old movies and Key Largo is my very favorite movie of all time. She was just a kid when Bogie brought her into movies. A bad week for us all.

I think she was 19 when they met for the first time. Not a 100% positive though.

Humphrey Bogart met Lauren Bacall on the set of To Have and Have Not in 1943. At the time, Bacall was 19 years old and living with her mother and Bogart was 44 and married to actress Mayo Methot. The couple wed in 1945, had two children and remained together until his death from cancer in 1957.

Yeah, Bam. I was overstating things of course because you know that's my way. But he had about 25 years on her.

And it's nice to see you posting again, pal .

^^PB and Bam read my post above yours

I honestly had no idea they were that had a that big of a age gap, learn new things every day.

Thanks, I been mostly posting on here though and a little bit in the sports section.

They just showed a clip if Bacall/Bogart. They said he was 25 years older than her.

Four of us had picked Bacall on our lists here.

She was one of the sexiest women I ever saw in her early movies with Bogie.

Wasn't it normal for men to marry women who were much younger than they were back then?

It was for a long time. I know that Chaplin him self like women younger than him. I think all of them except for one were over 18 when he married them.

President John Tyler actually married a woman who was in her 20's and he was some where in his 60's. They had children, and actually two grandsons's of his are still living right now which is really crazy to think about. Tyler him self was living when Washington was President.
