Gene Wilder most known for his main role as Willy Wonka in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory died today, August 29, 2016, of complications of Alzheimer’s disease! Alzheimer is such a horrible disease!
 Cry
My thoughts and prayers for him and his family!

Very sad news. Gene was a great comedian and actor. Rest in peace, Waco Kid.

That's the saddest damn disease there is.  Diabetes and alzheimers.


I've had close family members affected by every disease there is...but I can't joke about alzheimers.


It's never funny to me in any way. Just mentinng it is scary to me.

I can almost trick myself into losing my mind pre-emptively. The very thought of it is terriifying.



He was a great actor/ best movie: The PRoducers.  3D

In case your wondering why this thread goes here and not the Sandbox it's because Gene had a bit to do with music besides even singing Pure Imagination.

Harry Nilsson sang the song linked above...and Gene wrote it. A truly multitalented person. RIP

Watched Young Frankenstein and The Producers tonight in his honor.  Such a great comedic talent.

He think he sang on Willy Wonka more then just pure imagination! He is a good singer i cant believe he never got into more into singing then he did.

Wish this guy could still be with use today!
