Willy Wonka Remembering "Willy Wonka" Star Gene Wilder

Remembering “Willy Wonka” Star Gene Wilder

Fans remember actor Gene Wilder and his unique humor and loving performances that inspired “pure imagination.” He was an unforgettable — and somewhat unsettling — fixture of a generation of children.
Others remembered the real-life love story between Wilder and Gilda Radner, cut short by her death of cancer in 1989.
It was a blend of vulnerability and hysteria that made him special. Rest In Peace, to a man of nonsense and wisdom.
