  1. I think one of the funniest things he ever did was in Bonnie and Clyde. I don’t think he was well known at all back then and he really made a mark.

  2. One of the great things about dvd’s & digital downloads is that even after they’re gone its so easy to watch and see again the brilliance of their work. I know what I’ll be doing tonight, popcorn and a blu ray of Blazing Saddles.
    RIP Gene and thank-you for the great performances that you’ve left behind.

  3. Yes, lance. It makes me feel old.
    When he lost his beloved Gilda it made me feel old, but this is worse. Mortality.
    He was a brilliant comedian.
    I saw on other sites, they talked about Willie Wonka. It wasn’t my type of entertainment story.
    I liked him best in Blazing Saddles. He set a new standard in comedy with that one.

  4. He was 83…I think “2016” gets a mulligan on this one.
    That said, “Are we awake?” “That depends…are we black?” And “Sedagive?!”
    Those lines from Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein still have me laughing like a dumb, cheese eating teenager. The Producers sort of grew on me, despite my Dad’s contention it was too Jewy….

  5. Made me laugh a lot. Interesting that out of four marriages, two lasted until death parted them. That seems like a high score for someone in his line of work.

  6. I would do ANTHING … to have Terri Garr slap me around a bit… or a lot.
    Hot or what…..?

  7. You are pretty pathetic if you define your happiness by the death of some hollywood celebrity who didn’t give two figs about you.

  8. Oh, Teri Garr, I’m next in line for getting a educated by her!
    FYI, she’s been fighting a nasty battle with MS for many years

  9. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory sure beat Johnny Depps version and the hit song CANDY MAN and Blazing Saddles the big guy punching out the horse
