lola Gene Wilder was definitely one of a kind. A rare breed of gentleman who was talented and funny and classy. May he rest in peace.

Andy Loigu I harbored a huge secret crush on Gene Wilder since I saw him in Young Frankenstein. RIP.
Aquarius I loved him on Will & Grace (and of course as Willy Wonka). Supposedly that was the last time he was filmed.
Tracy Country Gate Players in Belvidere is doing Young Frankenstein in October. We were already planning on going, but now we can't wait!
Guess which presidential candidate this reminds me of: At the end of "Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory", after the last remaining,sweet, honest child asks about his prize that he EARNED, Gene Wilder yells "You get NOTHING!!" (Found a microscopic loophole, in the contract.)
I hope he is now laughing, in heaven, with Gilda. Gene Wilder was one of the funniest legends. R.I.P., Gene.
P.S. I know this isn't the political thread, however, this joke was circulating around, before his death. We will just keep it light and have a little fun. That's probably how Gene would've wanted it.
