RIP Gene Wilder : Mon Aug 29, 2016 7:52 pm  

Sad day with the loss of a comedic giant, one of my favourite actors and funny men. My first introduction was seeing him in the film Silver Streak on reddifusion cabe TV in Hull in the early 80s (it was repeated almost every day!) and then other hilarious films such as Young Frankenstein, See No Evil, hear No Evil. Alzheimers is such a horrible ailment, robs everybody Gene Wilder, 83, Non Omnis Moriar https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/201 ... oks-comedy

Willie Wonka, Blazing Saddles, anything with Richard Pryor.
Comedic genius and a really good actor.
Another unique individual sadly gone.

A funny and talented man.

Stir crazy and blazing saddles are classics that will stand the test of time. RIP
