Another comic genius gone.




I watched 1967 Bonnie & Clyde several times before I realized he was in it.

That one quote has been a cornerstone of my understanding of humanity since I first saw that movie.

One of the better people in Hollywood. I loved all of his movies! Very versatile actor for sure.

The best quote which I really liked was from Jim Carey "if there is a heaven, that man has the golden ticket"

Went to see "Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" at the theater yesterday, only cost $3 and the show sold out. Well worth the price.

I think his best but mostly overlooked movie was Silver Streak. Richard Pryor trying to teach him to be black is the greatest skit ever.

The original is still the best. No one could do it better than Gene Wilder.
