Rip Gene Wilder

[Miss Shelby]

He lived a long good life. Please post memories.

 

[Michie]

I remember he married Gilda Radner. Young Frankenstein!

 

[Miss Shelby]

I am phone bound no link ability. I really liked when he paired up with Richard Pryor. Oh and Bazing Saddles.

 

[Fantine]

Loved Gilda so much and he was the best husband anyone could have during her tragic illness. I loved the charities he founded in her memory. And of course I loved his comedies. Goodnight sweet prince.

 

[Michie]

Has anyone here read his biography? If not, I recommend it.

Watched Young Frankenstein this evening. Might watch Blazing Saddles when the kids are all in bed this weekend. Loved him in The Little Prince. He did so much good stuff.

Gene Wilder gave roles his all, but shared the stage.

You just had to look at his face to laugh. I mean he had the natural ability to cheer someone up.

You mean the baked beans around the campfire scene, not suitable for children?

He was just the right mix of quirky-yet-sweet in Willy Wonka......Depp was downright creepy.

I've never seen Blazing Saddles. Only been told about the famous baked beans scene.

I'm not sure I would've laughed at that in the seventies either. it is amazing that some might've found that line funny then, especially MelBrooks, the writer?
