Robin Williams was 63. He was the Oscar-winning actor and comedian who starred in the TV show "Mork and Mindy" before starring in such interesting films as "Good Morning, Vietnam", "Dead Poets Society", "The Fisher King" and "Good Will Hunting".
On a personal note, his "Popeye" is the very first movie I ever saw in theatres and his "Mrs. Doubtfire" is the only movie I ever saw with my grandmother. We both laughed out loud several times.
