  I too am blown away, like Francois, I first saw him in Mork and Mindy.

   

  So many great standups/improvs he'd done since, plus countless movies that were never considered big time.

   

  Ya'll

  ll recall the one where he worked in a store as a photo lab developer?

   

  And what was the one he was in some serious cold country...think he was on the hook for murders ?

  Anyways...such a sad day a man of his talent would take his own life/

  I saw him 1st run on Happy Days as 'Mork'.

  Then his HBO special was a classic, lots of improv... "Let's fill this theater..'Free Cocaine, come on in' ", "Human carwash!"

  Then all of his movies we saw in the cinema:

  Good Morning Vietnam with the late Bruno Kurby

  Moscow On The Hudson

  “When I was in Russia, I did not love my life, but I loved my misery. You know why? Because it was my misery."

  The Fisher King was a great movie in the theater as well, great shots of NYC in that classic film.

   The Birdcage was great in the theater (cinema) , also. [Christine Baranski] "l'm very maternal."[Robin] "And Albert (Nathan Lane) is practically a breast!"

  "How do you feel about that call today? The Dolphins, in the fourth on their 34 yard line.." / "How do you think l feel? Betrayed. Bewildered... Wrong response?" / 
  "l'm not sure."

   "Actually, it's perfect. l never realized John Wayne walked like that."

  Haven't seen the play but the movie is an absolute classic.  It shows how relative the word "normal" is, know what I mean?  He will be missed!

  I'm still in shock. One of my all time favorite comedians, He could crack you up with just a look or a couple words. We have lost a true one of a kind. RIP Robin.

  Yes, that was an interesting role. I saw that in the cinema, as well.

   Club Paradise was an interesting flick, too.
