LOS ANGELES (AP) — Gene Wilder, the frizzy-haired actor who brought his deft comedic touch to such unforgettable roles as the neurotic accountant in "The Producers" and the deranged animator of "Young Frankenstein," has died. He was 83.

Wilder's nephew said Monday that the actor and writer died late Sunday at his home in Stamford, Connecticut, from complications from Alzheimer's disease.

:'( Sad to see him go, hard to believe he's 83. God I'm starting to feel old now.

RIP Gene Wilder.

I really liked his acting. RIP.

I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

He was never one of my favorites, but I did enjoy him in Silver Streak.  Wasn't he the widower of Gilda Radner?

Yep.

This is one thing that sucks about being an atheist, I'd love to think of those two as being back together again.  :-\
