Couch, Russ knows that very well, but chose to make his own funnyman move.
It ain't always funny though.

Yes, genius for sure and somehow it'd be coo if he gets to be back with his genius wife who left the world way too early.

My kids and I watched Willie Wonka about 50 times. The guy was a genius.

Gilda wrote a book called It's Always Something. I got to record her reading the audio version. It was a few months before her death. Wilder attended the sessions as much as he could. More to say than I can here.
Amazing people, both. Rest in peace.

Yup, in house, a big deal around here.
We had seen him around until 2012?

Goddammit! He was wilder and crazier in a wild and crazy era.
Monster hit after monster smash.
Except Frisco Kid...it needed a BIG co-star (a fast-laner E-type) but they settled for a Ford.

Igorta say, I'll miss his funny.
Russ, that was understated and tasteful. LOL

Sad. He kept Wonka weird, from being a corny cartoon. Respect.
