Rest in peace funny man. Your comedic prowess and boundless energy will be sorely missed.

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is my all-time favourite film, and his performance in Young Frankenstein is unmatched. It's a sad day, but at least he doesn't have to suffer anymore.

When i heard of his death, i googled some recent images of him. Very sad. A lot of his movies are still regularly shown on tv down here and i guess you just get used to seeing actors looking the same.

I probably can't say i really heard much about him after "Another You" and that was 20 years ago now. To see how deteriorated he looked in recent times was heartbreaking.

 

RIP

Not trying to be a jerk here, but I hate Willy Wonka.

[Glen]

I don't......his performance as Willy Wonka was masterful (Johnny Depp was woeful).

 

RIP - another legend gone

[Fat Freddy]

Never cared for Willy Wonka but man, I can quote his work with Mel Brooks chapter and verse. Gonna have to bust out my Young Frankenstein DVD soon in tribute.

Lots of memories that I've now started sharing with the kids i.e. movies. RIP
