A Chicago native, Williams performed stand-up comedy at nightclubs before taking the role of Mork on an episode of “Happy Days” in 1974 and the spin-off “Mork & Mindy” in 1978.

He would go on to appear in many notable films, such as “Popeye”, “Good Morning, Vietnam”, “Dead Poets Society”, “Hook”, “Aladdin”, “Mrs. Doubtfire”, “Jumanji”, “The Birdcage”, “Jack”, “Good Will Hunting”, “Patch Adams” and “Night at the Museum”.

Three of his films — “Absolutely Anything”, “Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb” and “Merry Friggin’ Christmas” — are currently in post-production, according to IMDB.

On Tuesday, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and the Hollywood Historic Trust placed a commemorative wreath on Williams’ star, which he received on Dec. 12, 1990. Leron Gubler, chamber president and CEO, lamented that he never had the pleasure of meeting Williams.

“But I think I can say — as so many of us here today [can] — that we all felt [like] we knew him,” he said. “For many of us, it’s almost like we grew up with Robin Williams, starting with ‘Mork & Mindy’.”

Gubler referenced several of Williams’ “wonderful” movies.

“He was an amazing talent, and I think what makes it so sad today is … there will never be another Robin Williams,” he said. “He was one-of-a-kind, and he touched all of our lives.”

Gubler wrote, “You made us laugh; now we cry,” on the card adorning the wreath.

Additionally, the TCL Chinese Theatre dimmed its lights for one minute on Tuesday night in honor of Williams.
