Sad news. CNN:
Jonathan Winters, the wildly inventive actor and comedian who appeared in such films as “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World” and “The Loved One” and played Robin Williams’ son on the TV show “Mork & Mindy,” has died. He was 87.
Winters died Thursday evening of natural causes at his home in Montecito, California, according to business associate Joe Petro III.
If you’ve never seen him work, he was one of a kind. He could be hit-or-miss, because it was all improv, but you couldn’t take your eyes off him. He just radiated insane joy and made you feel happy.
Here he is on The Jack Paar Program in 1964:
Rest in peace, Jonathan.
