[Busyman]

:O :pinch: :mellow: :frusty: :(

He's my favorite comedian of all time.

[Skiz]

WOW...That sucks.

He is without a doubt, irreplaceable.

Btw, how old is Gene Wilder these days? He's gotta be up there by now. I was thinking maybe he was in poor health as well since I haven't seen him in like ten years. :ermm:

he seems to be doing okay. saw him on tv earlier this year peddling his autobiography. apparently he's ready to do some shit-talkin' now, too. about gilda and about richard pryor. neither could be bothered to respond at the time of publishing, due to one being dead and the other deathly ill. :P

you can prolly find plenty of positive reviews of his book on the net, so here's a negative review: http://www.usatoday.com/life/books/reviews/2005-03-17-diller-wilder_x.htm just 'cause. the dissenting opinion's often the more interesting one.

not that i don't enjoy gene's work. willy wonka, the producers, young frankenstein, etc. gene's great. it's just... man... celebs and their "issues."

he looked like my dad. probably more so now cause he'll be pale

[Biggles]

RIP

I never really got a lot of his stand up stuff because I couldn't understand his accent but clearly he was a star and a well loved one at that.

What I liked best about him , he was before his time .Starting out as a poor black man ,uneducated in raciest America shoving it to the man . Many came after , Eddie Murphy comes to mind and one of my fav's but not as raw as Pryor was . He'll be missed tho .
