Comments: Gene Wilder: 1933-2016
How far that little candle throws its beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world.
-William Shakespeare - paraphrased by Gene Wilder in Willie Wonka.
He was hysterical. Young Frankenstein is my favorite GW movie.

I loved his movies with Richard Pryor. Blazing Saddles was a classic, too. RIP.

I watched Stephanopolous this morning. They mentioned a few Wilder movies, but not a single mention of Blazing Saddles.

I loved his movies and his first wife Gilda Radner acting as well. It would be nice to have the golden ages of comedy like theirs make a comeback instead of the hack slapstick we have now
