RIP. Blazing Saddles is one of the funniest movies ever and the original Willy Wonka was great.

a joy!

Gene was an amazingly tallented actor and comedic genius. I can't think of anyone else in his generation who could have pulled off the Willy Wonka character. (my favorite part is when he freaks everyone out in the tunnel). Sorry but I don't think Depp held a candle to him in the remake. At least he will be with Gilda again at long last! RIP Gene an thanks for sharing your gifts!

He was a funny guy, and will surely be missed.

I wonder who has to go back and get a crap load of dimes for the funeral procession?

The original Charlie and the chocolate factory was the best. He'll be missed.
