June 11th is Gene Wilder Day!!! "Gene Wilder began his career in the 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde, but he became famous as a favorite of writer/director Mel Brooks. His roles in Young Frankenstein and Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory made him eternally famous. In his later years, Wilder became a serious novelist, writing a memoir and several fiction novels." My favorite performances and movies of his though are the ones he did with Richard Pryor. The combination of them together was comedic genius and acting performance that was something magical. If you have not seen any of these movies you definitely need to watch them!!! Thank you Mr. Wilder for all of your contributions and inspiration!

"So my idea of neurotic is spending too much time trying to correct a wrong. When I feel that I'm doing that, then I snap out of it." - Gene Wilder
