I think this is the first celebrity death that has genuinely made me sad. I watched Willy Wonka a lot as a kid. I saw a lot of his other movies too because my uncles were Gene and Richard fans.
Looks like I'll be adding some movies to my collection this weekend.

I thought he'd been gone a while, but a previous discussion we had about him made me look into it. I was surprised to see he was still alive. Sure enough, now he passes away.
A truly unique and amazing actor, we'll likely never come across someone like that again.

While I was driving today NPR was replaying Gene's interview on fresh air from 2005, never knew he was unhappy for so many years of his life
Actor Gene Wilder: 'Kiss Me Like a Stranger'
He said for years he was obsessed with praying, sometimes praying up to 6 hours a day, because his mother was depressed and miserable all the time and he felt bad about ever being happy. He apparently had alzheimers at the end, having gone through that with my grandma its such a horrible thing to see such amazing people end up with

Oh deary dear ...
The guy was a truly unique actor. I can't think of a single movie he starred in that could be successfully remade (yes you failed Johnny Depp) because he left such a mark on the characters he played.
RIP
Not to be THAT guy.... but The Producers, maybe. The new one was pretty good.
