    Default Gene Wilder dies at the age of 83

    Gene Wilder leaves behind a great legacy...
    Apparently he died due to complications regarding Alzheimer's disease.
    Silver streak, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Stir Crazy, The producers,... just to name a few.
    He will be greatly missed.

    RIP

    Quite a unique man who played some unique characters quite well.
    Seems he was always around for most of my life. The mold was broken as he was born.
    He shall be sorely missed. RIP

    Wow, what a talent, RIP Willy Wonka. I'll just leave this here:

    One of the funniest movies ever made IMO!

    Blazing Saddles, greatest movie comedy of all time. " I must have killed more people than Ceciil B. Demille". He will be missed. Tc

    He was such a great actor. He will be missed but he will still live in his movies.

    I particularly remember that scene in Young Frankenstein when Igor, played by Marty Feldman, invited Gene's character to "walk this way master"...
