Celebrity Tributes

"Robin Williams was an airman, a doctor, a genie, a nanny, a president, a professor, a bangarang Peter Pan, and everything in between. But he was one of a kind. He arrived in our lives as an alien – but he ended up touching every element of the human spirit. He made us laugh. He made us cry. He gave his immeasurable talent freely and generously to those who needed it most – from our troops stationed abroad to the marginalized on our own streets. The Obama family offers our condolences to Robin’s family, his friends, and everyone who found their voice and their verse thanks to Robin Williams." - President Obama "A tweet cannot begin to describe the hugeness of Robin Williams heart and soul and talent. This is so sad. #RobinWilliams" - Ben Stiller "O Captain! My Captain! Rise up and hear the bells. Rise up, for you the flag is flung, for you the bugle trills." - Anna Kendrick "Mork from Ork: Rare evidence that aliens can be smart, clever, articulate & funny. Robin Williams, RIP" - Neil deGrasse Tyson "Genie, you're free." - The Academy Aladdin [Photo via Twitter]
