I remember Gene Wilder from his younger years as Willy Wonka and the sharp-shooting deputy from Blazing Saddles-as I'm sure many of you do too! He's moved away from show business into book business and family life and is turning 79 this year.
Gene Wilder is like a Dr. Seuss to me. The Dr. Seuss of movies. He goes by a different name (Gene was bore Jerome Silberman) and he's a constant presence in my interior entertainment database. There's something delightfully goofy and comforting about Wilder-and I'm glad the word game on my phone brought his birthday to my attention!
Happy Birthday, Gene Wilder! Jerome Silberman! Willy Wonka!
