RIP Robin Williams (1951–2014)
Comedy legend Robin Williams was found dead earlier today (the 11th) from an apparent suicide. I'm not sure what my favorite one of his roles is, but he certainly had some memorable ones (such as Mork and in movies like Good Morning Vietnam and Dead Poets Society).
(Tip of the cap to several people via their Facebook posts.)
Update: The CNN article about Williams' death has some additional information.
