DAMN!!!! He was an old school style physical comic, who played some REALLY GREAT CHARACTERS. Blazing Saddles is one of his best work.........other than Young Frankenstein. (LIFE!! LIFE!! LIIIIFFFEEE!!) His persona will never be equaled. He was married to Gilda Radner before she died of cancer. Jeez that broke my heart.

This. It's been a rough year.
The new Mac Pro has up to 30 MB of cache inside the processor itself. That's more than the HD in my first Mac. Somehow I'm still running out of space.

An all-time CLASSIC comedy scene with Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor.

Been having a mini marathon this week; watching one movie of his each night. True comedic gold.

I'm very saddened. But I think his hiding his diagnosis of Alzheimer's because he didn't want kids to know "Willy Wonka" was sick was a great example of his kindness and humanity.

We already miss you, Gene.

I thought this very cool of Zynga. This is the splash screen that pops up when you play Willy Wonka slots.
