Gene Wilder Dies at 83; Star of ‘Willy Wonka’ ‘Young Frankenstein’ & Blazing Saddles

How sad. What a great and gifted actor and comedian. He will forever be Willie Wonka. I remember sitting just in front of him at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto in the mid 70"s for the Eagles Hotel California tour. He was with wife Gilda Radner from Saturday Night Live just before she was treated for ovarian cancer.

What an amazing talent lost.

I have most of his films on DVD.

What a privilege it would have been to spend an evening with him and Gilda in a non-industry environment.

Blazing Saddles the first R-rated movie I saw as a kid.

From Young Frankenstein.

Young Frankenstein ... one of, if not, my favorite all time movie comedy.
