RIP Gene Wilder
The AP is reporting that Gene Wilder has died. He was 83 years old. He starred in some of my favorite movies including Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein and of course Willy Wonka. RIP Aug 29 16 12:47 pm Link rip Aug 29 16 12:50 pm Link Enjoy that everlasting gobstopper my friend. Aug 29 16 12:57 pm Link the producers, rinos, n so many more great movies. eternal life on film. rip Aug 29 16 01:06 pm Link I can imagine he and Gilda Radner are dancing on a sunny stage... Aug 29 16 01:43 pm Link RIP. loved him in so many movies. his bit part in bonnie and clyde was (i believe) what got his career moving. great actor. Aug 29 16 01:56 pm Link RIP Gene Aug 29 16 02:04 pm Link Fondly remembered for many roles, but for me it's this...  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yYw8tZZIUI Such a great comedian, will be sadly missed! Aug 29 16 02:16 pm Link Aw... damn. I loved Gene Wilder, especially his classic work with Mel Brooks in The Producers, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein... and his teaming with Richard Pryor in Silver Streak. Rest easy, Gene. Good grief, I forgot to mention Willy Wonka... Aug 29 16 02:44 pm Link And we just watched Young Frankenstein the other night.  Damn.....another legend passes away. RIP Gene and say to Gilda for us..... Aug 29 16 03:20 pm Link I read that he connected with Mel Brooks after he was "miscast" in a play starring Mel's wife Anne Bancroft. They ended up creating so many comedy classics that are completely and utterly non-PC. Aug 29 16 04:19 pm Link Blazing Saddles is perhaps my favorite movie of all time but I can't think of one movie I didn't enjoy that featured the great talent that was Gene Wilder. Young Frankenstein. "That's Franken-STEEN!" ,The Producers, The Silver Streak, the list goes on. Wish we still had talent like that in Hollywood. Another great one rides off into the sunset. Roll credits. Aug 29 16 07:01 pm Link What great knockers. Why, thank you, doctor. One of the best. Aug 29 16 07:04 pm Link RIP Gene, you were able to get some of Mel Brooks' best work onto film, not many could be the comic foil to Richard Pryor and Marty Feldman. Young Frankenstein has given me countless hours of laughter. Aug 29 16 10:56 pm Link One of the greats. RIP Gene, the original and only true Willy Wonka.
