Variety (and a lot of other places) are reporting that Gene
Wilder has passed away at age 83
HTML http://variety.com/2016/film/news/gene-wilder-dead-dies-willie-wonka-young-frankenstein-1201846745/.
Somehow I was surprised by this... he was 83 and had Alzheimers.
But it continues the streak of 2016 taking away everyone we
like.
It also occurred to me now that just about everyone in Young
Frankenstein is now gone... just Mel Brooks and Gene Hackman are
left.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
He was and is and will always be one of my all time favorite
film comedians. Love, love, love Young Frankenstien and Silver
Streak, which are still tops in my book when it comes to
Comedies. RIP Mr. Wilder and thanks for all the the laughs over
the years. You are now reunited with Gilda.

Good Lord, this is so weird.
Loved Wilder and his work. I heard nothing but greatness about
his private life.

84... you know, I have a sense of dread about who we may lose
next. 2016 knows no pity.
