One of the greats.

Nephew: Gene Wilder, star of Mel Brooks movies, dies at 83

I saw every one of his movies, but he also did a very short TV series where he was a widowed small town play producer with a grown daughter, and he solved mysteries. Sort of a take-off on "Murder She Wrote". I really liked it even if I cannot remember the title. I hope Will is watching this thread. He'll know!

RIP Gene Wilder. I still watch The Producers every time it comes around, as well as Young Frankenstein. Blazing Saddles was excellent, too, until the PC Nazis ruined it for all time by their psychotic censorship and what the movie was sending up.

He was in a movie named Murder in a Small Town that fits that description, not a series.

Series was called Something Wilder, ran 15 episodes

You're right, will, it was a movie. I recall now that I hoped it would become a series. It was "Murder In a Small Town". I wasn't great, but it was very good, and entertaining enough to remember all these years.

Just saw One of my most favorite actors

What do you think of the movie, High Anxiety? I know Gene was not in it, but it is a Mel Brooks' flick.

Madeline Kahn was one of my favorite actresses when I was a teen.

Sad really
Marty Feldman
Madeline Kahn
Cleavon Little....even Mongo Alex Karras all died young

Dom Deluise, Peter Boyle, now Gene Wilder

Good to see Mel Brooks still hanging in there

He just turned 90

From what I just read on IMDB, he can do Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein sequels, with the original casts, as soon as he gets there

Gene Wilder was the one that came up with the idea for Young Frankenstein. It was his story and he and Mel Brooks wrote the screenplay together. Some of the ad libs by the actors that were kept in the film, when Cloris Leachman is offering the 'warm milk' she added 'Ovaltine!'. Hilarious and they used it. Marty Feldman during filming of various scenes moves the hump on his back from one side to the other (without telling anyone) and it took quite a while for anyone to notice. They decided to keep it in as a running gag and actually wrote the dialogue where Wilder asks him "wasn't that on the other side?".

Madeline Kahn was one of my favorite actresses when I was a teen.

She was indeed very good; great comedic sense, which is really very rare and under-appreciated.
