RIP. Jonathan Winters, Funny Man Dies at 87

Jonathan Winters, the rubber-faced comedian whose unscripted flights of fancy inspired a generation of improvisational comics, and who kept television audiences in stitches with Main Street characters like Maude Frickert, a sweet-seeming grandmother with a barbed tongue and a roving eye, died on Thursday at his home in Montecito, Calif. He was 87.

RIP Jonathan ~ what a funny man ~ he will be missed. Whenever I see Robin Williams in a comedic role, I see a young Jonathan Winters.

I so agree. The two are so similar in ways and did work off each other in their appearances.
