Gene Wilder has died--a very unappreciated actor/comedian

[YJ02]

IMO, this guy never really got the attn he should have gotten. Had some real bright spots with Willy Wonka and YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN and a few other films

always thought he could have been better received and appreciated-but,just IMO

Sad. I liked Gene Wilder (Doctor Fronk-un-steen).

LOVED this guy - some of the funniest lines ever were delivered by him! A sad loss. and the knowledge that Alzheimer's preceded his heath is just more poignant.

LOVED Gene Wilder. My faves were Silver Streak with him and Richard Pryor, and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. He will be missed. RIP Gene...
