Me thinks a TCM memoriam will outlast an Oscar. Thank you for these wonderful tributes, so nicely presented, to honor those who elevated our spirits.

Thank you Gene for the wonderful movies you gave us. You were a truly loved man

Shocked to hear that he passed away so soon, to me he'll always be remembered as our favourite candy-maker Willy Wonka himself. God rest you Gene Wilder R.I.P

To TCM, their staff and production crews that compile and assemble these In Memorials, I say thank you from we movie fans for your hard work, talent and time to create everlasting digital memories honoring the stars, directors and film production team members that have passed on.

"Don't forget what happened to the man who suddenly got everything he wanted. He lived happily ever after." R.I.P., Gene Wilder. 😢

A master genius, of comedy and acting. Only few, can combine both, but one can be a legend. High paid comediennes, has always been copying Gene style, but selling to be original. Thank goodness, a great artist can not be replaced, over looked or forgotten. Only duplicated and honored. Rest well Gene. Say hello to Gilda, RIP.

Thank you! I love the new format -- print shop and old-time typesetting. I like this much better than the one with the rain on the windshield and the music is better too.
I'm going to miss ol' Gene. Young Dr. Frankenstein is one of the funniest pictures ever made. Ever.

[MorlokKurak]

No new comments since 2017. 😟
The living soon forget the Dead.
Gene Wilder deserves to be Remembered.

Such a funny guy. I loved him in Young Frankenstein and Willy Wonka.

I hope you do the end of the year memorial like you usually do!

Lovely tribute to the great Gene Wilder. I wish they had done this for actress Gloria DeHaven but I guess she wasn't as popular (or big a star) as Wilder.
