Gene Wilder

[Duke]

Iowa grad and Hollywood actor and comedian, Gene Wilder has passed. I have seen many of his films. None funnier than "Blazing Saddles" and "Silver Streak" Fellow Iowa alum, Alex Karras, was in Blazing Saddles.

RIP, Gene!

A much better Willie Wonka than was Depp. And I like Depp.

Exceptionally funny man, and a very kind hearted soul. He will be missed.

Depp was creepy in his version. Kinda regretted letting my kids watch it.
