"Come with me and you'll be in a world of pure imagination." The words that defined the childhoods of so many around the world.
Sadly, the man that cemented those words into our heads is no longer with us. Comedy legend Gene Wilder has passed away at age 83. Yet another icon that the year 2016 took away from us. For anyone who wants to write comedy or be a comedian, Gene Wilder was someone truly special. From "The Producers", "Blazing Saddles", "Young Frankenstein" and "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory", it's impossible to rival this man's achievements as a comedic legend. To a lot of us, he will forever be the definitive Willy Wonka and many will also remember him for manically screaming "Give my creation life!" as Dr. Frederick Frankenstein in Mel Brook's "Young Frankenstein".
Not many people will accomplish such great feats as this man did.
It's hard to see you go, Gene. May you rest in peace.
