What’s saddest about his death is that he said “ I didn’t tell anyone about my illness because there would be one less smile in the world “ , Rest In Peace you beautiful legend .
-
Was there ever a human being more loveable than Gene Wilder? RIP he was truly one of the all time greats
-
Gene Wilder was one of those people who made you feel like the world was OK because he was in it.
-
I am convinced to this day 90% of Willy Wonka was just Wilder screwing with the rest of the cast.
-
Vastly underrated See No Evil, Hear No Evil.
-
My Grandpa actually went to grade school with this guy. My grandpa was 3 grades behind him, but still counts and it's pretty cool
-
As incredible an actor Johnny Depp is, Gene Wilder is still the definitive Willy Wonka, he was whimsical, mysterious, and was so far away from reality that he felt like he was on a new level of humanity, Johnny just made Willy Wonka look like an awkward creep.
-
"Oh boys, look what I got here" "Hey where the white women at" One of the best quotes from Blazing Saddles🤣😂
-
I loved Gene in Blazing Saddles as the Waco Kid. That truly is my favorite of his appearances.
-
I really love Gene's singing voice. Made me wish he was in more musicals.
-
R.I.P. Gene Wilder, 1933-2016

At first, when I found out about Gene's death, I felt like my heart stopped. Now, I realize he had an awesome career and a blessed life. I hope to have a film career, myself, and Gene will always be my inspiration! Plus, he's from my home state, Wisconsin, which gives me even more motivation. God rest Gene Wilder
-
Wilder's Willy Wonka was much better than Johnny Depp's.
-
Gene Wilder was one of the funniest men ever! He NEVER gets the recognition he deserves for his body of work. His comedy pairing with Richard Pryor was genius. He NEVER received any awards and that's a terrible oversight on the part of the academy.
-
Should of been nominated for an Oscar for Willy Wonka. He created such a memorable character that still endears today.
-
I knew that Willy wonka and the chocolate factory would be number 1.
-
"So shines a good deed in a weary world."
-
I love "Young Frankenstein". Not only is it hilarious to see Gene's character resist and then embrace the work of his grandfather, but just the fact that Victor Frankenstein had a biological family of his own in the film's universe along with being a batshit crazy scientist brings up so many questions!
-
No one can outdo or even replicate Gene Wilder. So loveable & unique. Such dazzling blue eyes & such dazzling performances!
-
"Yeah, but I shoot with this hand." Greatest line ever!! I bust out laughing everytime😂🤣😂
