Sad, he was one of my faves. Starred in such movies as The Producers, Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles. A very funny man.

RIP Gene.

We lost one of the great ones.  :sad:

I'll do what I will and I'll drink what I please
I'll smoke what I like 'till I cough and I wheeze
I'll drink and I'll whore and every pleasure realize
For this time tomorrow I may die

This is how I will always think of him, he made this movie good:

When I have found intense pain relieved, a weary brain soothed, and calm, refreshing sleep obtained by a cigar, I have felt grateful to God, and have blessed His name...

I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

I used to be a people person, but then people ruined that for me.

I don't know very many actors, let alone like very many, but Gene Wilder had a pretty special place. A very singular talent. God rest his soul.

I still consider Silver Streak one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.

He and Richard Pryor were a great team.
