Seriously.....it's so sad how many are dying around us. It feels like the rapture in slow motion.

Loved the Producers and Blazing Saddles. He will be missed.

Gene Wilder was a great comedian.....low key but stole every scene

 

[whitehall]

He always seemed to play a young guy and that's the way I remember him. He was never the same after his wife Gilda Radner died relatively young of breast cancer.

Sorry, I hated Gene Wilder. Sorry, the man was totally weak and disingenuous. Blazing Saddles was so stupid, and Wilder came off as a dishrag. He was a better actor than most of us, that's all I can say.

You forgot that one where him and Richard prior went to prison and he rode the bull.

God he was strange. When I was a kid I wondered who cast this weirdo in these roles. I can't wait to see his story when they celebrate him.

My mom just passed away 3 weeks ago from Alzheimer's. He was 83 she was only 69. He had a nice long life but Alzheimer's is a bitch!!! Very sad.

Everyone dies. Nobody is raptured.

Did Mel Brooks discover him?

Damn. I just read his book.

RIP

That's what did it.

What was the plot?

"I just drive the bus." Look it up. Better yet, watch it.

Young Frankenstein is one of the five funniest movies ever made.

RIP Gene Wilder. I hope you're hanging out with Gilda

Did Mel Brooks discover him?

I'm not sure. Might have since he did so many films produced by Brooks.
