OT: Gene Wilder passes away at 83

Gene Wilder, 'Willy Wonka' Star and Comedic Icon, Dies at 83

Gene Wilder, who regularly stole the show in such comedic gems as "The Producers," "Blazing Saddles," "Young Frankenstein," "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" and "Stir Crazy," died Monday at his home in Stamford, Conn. His nephew Jordan Walker-Pearlman said he died of complications from Alzheimer's disease. He was 83.

Sad day, I don't think I can recall too many things he's done which I haven't really enjoyed. May he RIP
