US actor Gene Wilder, remembered by many for his namesake role in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, has died at the age of 83, his family confirmed.

The comic actor also starred in classic films such as The Producers, Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein.

Mr Wilder frequently collaborated with writer and director Mel Brooks as well as stand-up comedian Richard Pryor.

The two-time Oscar-nominated actor was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma in 1989.

Still adore him as Willy Wonka, the new one with Johnny Depp is rubbish in comparison without him

its sad that alzheimer's and dementia accelerates one's death, and I have sympathy for people who have a relative or a grandmother or a grandfather that has it, I am lucky because my grandfather is 92 and his mind is still pretty sharpe and strong, he is lucky in some way because he does not have alzheimer's or dementia,

Legend..
He will forever be known to future generations of kids for his role as Willkie Wonka.
Absolutely loved him when he partnered Richard Pryor in films.

....awww, he had Alzheimer's, didn't he....cruel and awful disease...a good age though...in all of the interviews that I saw him in, he always seemed like such a nice guy, very thoughtful/very deep and a lot of personal sadness in his life...



If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
There's nothing to it

..he changed the world, he made the world smile...RIP Gene Wilder..........
