RIP Gene
Gene Wilder, who established himself as one of America’s foremost comic actors with his delightfully neurotic performances in three films directed by Mel Brooks; his eccentric star turn in the family classic “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”; and his winning chemistry with Richard Pryor in the box-office smash “Stir Crazy,” died early Monday morning at his home in Stamford, Conn. He was 83.

I loved his work with Richard Pryor...the two played off of each other so well.

I heard an interview of him on NPR yesterday. Sounded like a really lovely person. I liked Gilda too. What a wonderful nutty couple they made.
