What a great face he had…R.I.P
I was all misty eyed when I heard the news. The Frisco Kid and Silver Streak were my favorite Wilder films. RIP Gene.
Very sad to hear this. Wilder in full manic mode a la Young Frankenstein and The Producers is a joy to behold.
GENE WILDER.
My feelings very similar to those expressed by Phil H.
I heard the news last night, and my immediate thought was one of loss; and yet, also, of joy, at the countless hours of pleasure that Gene Wilder brought to the screen.
When a personality has spent his/her life bringing laughter to so many multitudes, then it is difficult to know whether to laugh or cry.
Gene would probably say “'Do both”.
And - by the way, “I prefer FRANKENSTEEN”!.
R.I.P. GENE WILDER.
