Have just read elsewhere that Gene Wilder has passed away due to complications with Alzheimer's.
Sad news indeed.
 

I just saw that too. A talented gentleman and from what I've read an all around nice guy. Rest in Peace

Yes, sad indeed. A very funny man in his time who made me laugh many times. Young Frankenstein was one of my favorites.
For those who believe in an afterlife, he's finally reunited with Gilda Radner.

NY Times obituary.
 

That's very sad news. He was a delightful actor to watch and enjoy over the years. I'd say my favorite was Frisco Kid. I will really miss him.
 
Sorry to hear that. Hard to believe he was in his eighties, I remember him and Gilda together always looking so happy! Yes, all the celebrities of our generation are aging too.
 
Yes that made me sad. The musical people make me feel even worse. I just reread a book about The Band before donating it. At the time Levon Helm was still alive and well. Now Garth Hudson and Robbie Robertson are the only members still here and Garth is almost 80. Also realized " The Last Waltz" was like forty years ago...Oy, that we were the boomer generation, this wasn't supposed to happen to us.
 
I read in the NYT that he didn't want anyone to know he had been diagnosed with Alzhheimer's three years ago because he didn't want anyone to be sad.
