Re: Gene Wilder

Scene from Blazing Saddles where Wilder, The Waco Kid explains his fall into alcohol to the black sheriff

"I decided to hang up my guns when a 9 year old kid called me out.
He drew his gun, it left me with no other option"

Sheriff "What happened"?

"I had to turn my back on him"

"And"?

"the little bastard shot me up the ass"

Classic

Re: Gene Wilder

Ooooooooo

I had a big crush on him at one time.

Very sad but had no idea he was that age ... far too old for me when I was .... erm ... 5 years old

Re: Gene Wilder

Same here. Two great films - add Willy Wonka and Silver Streak to those. He had a face that could make you laugh without him saying anything.
