  • RIP Gene Wilder

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
There’s nothing to it.

[from Pure Imaginination]

  • Mr Wilder passed away at the age of 83 from complications arising from Alzheimer’s disease.
  • The 2-time Oscar nominee, stage actor, screenwriter, producer and director is most famous for his roles in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Young Frankenstein, The Producers and his films with Richard Pryor, such as Stir Crazy and (my personal favourite) Hear no Evil, See no Evil.
  • According to Mr Wilder (real name Jerome Silberman), his recipe for comedy was don’t try to make it funny; try to make it real. “I’m an actor, not a clown,”.
  • Good day, sir!
