You are not alone. I cried myself to sleep last night. He was part of my childhood.

"he blessed every film he did with "magic."
I think that's the best epitaph that Gene Wilder could have, and who better to give it than Mel Brooks?

• What are you gonna do, when the world catches on?

And you are so right. He put so much heart and soul into his movies. You truly felt it. It's like Mel Brooks said when Gene passed "he blessed every film he did with "magic."

Yeah. I love that movie including the Richard Pryor movies he did.

He was one of the especially-talented actors who brought what they call 'heart' to his films. Not just a great actor, but a great actor who could portray great humanity and emotion.
My favorite example of this talent of his is 'The Frisco Kid.' If you haven't watched it yet, you MUST. It is a bit of a lig5b4htweight, silly comedy, but it is full of HEART.

• What are you gonna do, when the world catches on?

Yea. Me too. I feel that I should have read his book a long time ago. I am still hurting.

Absolutely man!
A big loss.
One of my favorite actors ever!
I wanna get his book he wrote about his life.
I will miss him very much.i can cry about it now.

He was so talented and so much of a part of movies I saw growing up, it hit me hard too. He made so many people so happy and you never saw bad press about him. He was unique and the world is less funny without him.
We have lost so many incredible people this year

I hear you man.most people are like Gene Wilder died then move on a minute after.but it struck me hard and think about all his movies and interviews and life since.one of my favorite actors ever!i will miss him so much.figuring out which movie to watch by him tonight.
Such a big loss in the Comedy world.

There will never be anyone like him again, he was a one of a kind, talented, and from all accounts a really nice guy.
I love his movies, especially Young Frankenstein, Willy Wonka and The Producers.
After my son saw Willy Wonka when he was little he walked around saying "I said good day sir" over and over. It was pretty funny.

I feel the same, I adored him.

I'm right there with you Kat.
After my family saw Young Frankenstein in '77 (or 78), sometime
after I saw Willy Wonka on TV and then I really thought he was great.
My brothers and I all agree on many things but no
question, all 4 of us totally love Gene Wilder's comedy and always will.
RIP Gene Wilder.
I usually erase my sig. our of respect for those that have gone
but I know he'd agree with the thought of my signature, so I'll keep it on.
