Love this line from "Hear no evil see no evil" "Fuzzy wuzzy was a woman"  , when he was trying to understand Richard Prior 

Great movie also

The strangest thing on all this sad new on Gene's passing is that I was only thinking about him last week as I quite often use his memes.

I was thinking about all the great people who have passed on this year and actually said to myself "Well not this guy". Sure enough, he has passed on.

Thanks for the post. He was a real genius. At least now he is with his also brilliant wife Gilda Radner. Heaven just got a whole lot funnier.

     *The same thing I was thinking when Walter Matthau joined Jack Lemmon in Heaven, and that was that "Well, they're both up there giving God belly laughs now"!  We'll miss you, Gene. RIP :flower:

So, so very sad. I remember watching Blazing Saddles when I was 10 and laughed so hard and I still do to this day when I watch it. I watched Willy Wonka so many times I think I memorized the entire movie. I never get tired of watching him on the screen RIP

There is nothing more I can say that you guys haven't said already. He was one of my favorite actors and I watch his movies on a regular basis. He will be missed! R.I.P. Mr. Wilder. Thank you for the memories and, especially, the laughs!
