I am saddened beyond words today to hear about the death of Robin Williams. His immense body of work spanning nearly 4 decades is perhaps one of the most impressive in the business. According to the Huffington Post article, his death was an apparent suicide. He was 63 years old. I have so many fond memories of his work [wipes a tear], that I don't know where to begin. I will come back and update this post when I have recomposed myself, and have more time to put thought into an appropriate dedication. But for now...
Not many actors can personify their roles quite to the extent that Robin has done so with these (above) as well as every roll he has ever stepped into. You will be dearly missed, Robin.

TV legend Ann B. Davis who played Alice on "The Brady Bunch" has died ... TMZ has learned.
According to the couple she lived with in Texas ... Ann fell in her bathroom early this morning and hit her head causing grave damage. We're told she never regained consciousness.
Her roommate says Davis had been pretty healthy for an 88-year old woman -- and her death was a total shock. In fact, she even walked downstairs to say goodnight before going to bed.
Davis played the housekeeper Alice Nelson for the entire original run of "The Brady Bunch" from 1969 to 1974. She also filled the role for countless other TV movies and reunions. She last played Alice for 5 episodes of "The Bradys" in 1990.
We're told Ann was very close to some members of the church she attended in Texas -- and they are currently planning funeral arrangements.
Actor Russell Johnson, 89, who played the brainy Professor in nearly 100 episodes of the 1960s classic TV comedy series “Gilligan’s Island,” died Thursday morning at his home in Washington state.
He died peacefully in his sleep of natural causes, said his agent, Michael Eisenstadt.
Johnson also appeared in several films, including the sci-fi movies ”It Came from Outer Space” and “This Island Earth,” and he did guest appearances on numerous other series.
But he is best known for his role on “Gilligan’s Island” in which he played a professor who used his scientific knowledge to deal with the various perils the haplass castaways faced.
