Young 'Franken-steen'
I was seventeen
When Young Frankenstein
Landed on the big screen
Funniest thing I'd ever seen
Instant cult classic
After my first tumultuous year climbing
I really needed some

Young Dr Frankestein had it all:
Gene Wilder ... Dr. Frankenstein
Marty Feldman ... Igor
Madeline Kahn ... Elizabeth
Cloris Leachman ... Frau Blücher
Teri Garr ... Inga
Peter Boyle as the Monster.
not forgetting Mel Brooks.
and more. It makes me laugh just reading the cast list. One of the best. I have to check out Blazing Saddles again.

This saddens me. Gene Wilder, along with Steve Martin, Richard Pryor, and Bill Murray (and Gilda Radner and Billy Crystal and the Wayans brothers, and Jim Carrey and Chris Rock) are my my main comedy influences. I don't know where I would be without these guys.

I grew up watching his stuff. Gene Wilder is one-of-a-kind. Crazy comic genius. It bordered on the weird, bsurb and insane sometimes, but he was always funny.
I always marveled at how weird his comedy was. Definitely a chip off off the Mel Brooks block. But still different.
Rest in peace, Gene. God bless ya!

He didn't appreciate being labeled a 'comedian'. He considered himself an actor.
Check out the excellent obit in today's LA Times.

Any man who had Teri Garr wrapped around him was a very lucky man, indeed.
