Gene Wilder

I was saddened to hear of the death of Gene Wilder yesterday. He was great in the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, as well as Blazing Saddles, The Producers, Stir Crazy, and Silver Streak.

But my favorite Wilder movie remains Young Frankenstein. He co-wrote the screenplay and starred in the title part. There are plenty of hilariously funny moments in this film, such as where enjoying dessert leads to an amazing discovery ("You made a yummy sound....") in the lab.

Rest in peace, Gene.
