We were all been left saddened by the news that one of Hollywood's true greats, actor Robin Williams was found dead in August 2014.

Since bursting on to our screens in Mork and Mindy, Robin Williams made us laugh. His ability to make a scene a million times more funny with a little off the cuff improvisation marked the comedian out as a huge talent early on. But he could take on darker roles too. Who can forget his Oscar-winning turn in Good Will Hunting?
