      <description><![CDATA[<a href="//screencrush.com/robin-williams-rip/">Robin Williams' death</a> is shocking and heartbreaking and touches us in a way usually reserved for close friends. Maybe that's because we're of a generation that grew up on Robin Williams. He's been making us laugh and cheering us up since we were kids; like a big-screen father figure. That he died suffering from severe depression, makes the news all the more tragic. As director Garry Marshall, who first cast Williams in 'Happy Days' and later 'Mork and Mindy,' said today, "He could make everybody happy but himself."

He made everyone happy and in that spirit, we'd like to celebrate his work, and we asked a few of our writers to look back at their favorite moments of his career. <a href="https://wgrd.com/robin-williams-favorite-moments/">Continue reading&hellip;</a>]]></description>
