Gene Wilder, who regularly stole the show in such comedic gems as “The Producers,” “Blazing Saddles,” “Young Frankenstein,” “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” and “Stir Crazy,” died Monday at his home in Stamford, Conn. His nephew Jordan Walker-Pearlman said he died of complications from Alzheimer’s disease. He was 83.

He did a lot of good work to help bring awareness to ovarian cancer, the evil disease that took his beloved Gilda.

RIP Gene.

oh man... this one hurts A LOT. Gene Wilder was the greatest comedic actor ever, IMO. So wildly talented in front of the camera and behind a type-writer.

The world is a little less funny today.

R.I.P. Mr Wonka

Bummer. Although I wasnt sure if he was alive after not hearing or seeing him in anything for awhile. Fav movies have to be, Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein.

I first really got to know Wilder watching "Silver Streak"

Agree 100%. His stuff is still funny to this day.

Every now and then, I picture Mel Brooks in his God incarnation as he says "PUT THE WILDER BACK". It makes me smile.

So cool of Harkins to do this. Would love to see a couple of these on the big screen.

They were not able to acquire Young Frankenstein for a screening. The studio won't allow anyone to screen it.
