The apparent suicide of Hollywood funnyman Robin Williams left celebrities stunned to learn their silver screen co-star died Monday.
An Oscar-winning actor, Williams, 63, suffered from severe depression before he was found dead in his San Francisco-area home.
Nathan Lane, his co-star in 1996's "The Birdcage," expressed his sorrow Tuesday morning.
"I feel I have to say something more than just 'heartbreaking and shocking' which everyone has said and I feel as well, but something a little more personal. Thus the following:
"One day in 1995 while riffing in the character of a snobby French toy store owner, Robin made me laugh so hard and so long that I cried. It seemed to please him no end," Lane said in a statement. "Yesterday I cried again at the thought that he was gone. What I will always remember about Robin, perhaps even more than his comic genius, extraordinary talent, and astounding intellect, was his huge heart - his tremendous kindness, generosity, and compassion as an acting partner, colleague, and fellow traveler in a difficult world. My heartfelt condolences to his wife and family."
Actors and other comedians took to Twitter to mourn Williams, who appeared in more than 100 movies and television shows, including three currently in post-production, according to the Internet Movie Database.
