Sally
Field, who also starred in the movie, said in a statement: 'I feel
stunned and so sad about Robin. I'm sad for the world of comedy. And so
very sad for his family. And I'm sad for Robin.
'He
always lit up when he was able to make people laugh, and he made them
laugh his whole life long.... tirelessly. He was one of a kind. There
will not be another. Please God, let him now rest in peace.'
Director
Chris Columbus added: 'We have lost one of our most inspired and gifted
comic minds, as well as one of this generation's greatest actors. To
watch Robin work, was a magical and special privilege. His performances
were unlike anything any of us had ever seen, they came from some
spiritual and otherworldly place. He truly was one of the few people who
deserved the title of "genius."
'We
were friends for 21 years. Our children grew up together, he inspired
us to spend our lives in San Francisco and I loved him like a brother.
The world was a better place with Robin in it. And his beautiful legacy
will live on forever.'
