Gene Wilder (1933-2016)

On the 29th of August 2016 the American actor, writer, producer and director Gene Wilder died at the age of 83. Some highlights of his long and outstanding career are The Producers, Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein (all three directed by Mel Brooks), Silver Streak, Stir Crazy, See No Evil, Hear No Evil, and Another You (all four with co-star Richard Pryor), and of course the one and only genuine Willy from the cult movie Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory. I met Mr. Wilder in 1978, when he was promoting a film in which he starred as Rudy Valentine, The World's Greatest Lover, a film that he also wrote, produced and directed.
