Let's talk about Robin Williams


As I am sure you are already aware, actor and comedy legend Robin Williams took his own life late Sunday night.  The news of his death came late in the day on Monday and it spread through all forms of media. Celebrities and friends of Williams wrote heartfelt messages on Twitter and released statements through official channels.  Regular people, the ones Mr. Williams spent his life entertaining, erected makeshift memorials outside his Californian home, on the steps of the home in San Francisco used in the film Mrs.Doubtfire and on the step of the home used for the television show Mork and Mindy.  The media did their part too and video clips were shown and highlight reels put together.  The response was correct and felt right for someone like Mr. Williams.
