Digger Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 What a great actor and all around funny man. Some of the films I've liked most have had Gene in them and he will be greatly missed. RIP Gene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Yes. Tremendous talent, unique. One of America's greatest. Completely agree about the films. In 1995 or '96 I was walking up Guildford High Street and passed him going the other way toward the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre where he was playing - I think it was Neil Simon's play "Laughter on the 23rd Floor", prior to its run in the West End. I didn't interrupt him. R.I.P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karloff Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I quote Young Frankenstein as much as any Python sketch. RIP Gene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis G Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I had CNN on in the background and just before 1pm Pacific time, the anchor paused during an interview, said she was getting breaking news in her ear, and then had a look of disbelief on her face as she announced the passing of Gene Wilder. What a loss. A comedic genius. Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, the list goes on and on... A true legend. RIP Gene, and say hello to Gilda.

brad1 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 What a great actor. Next to Young Frankenstein, my favorites of his are The Producers and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I saw Willy Wonka in a Movie theater when I was about 10 years old. It was a magical movie for me. And Gene was the reason. Nobody could have played that role better imo.
