Damn! Why couldn't I just live my life in bliss, thinking he's still alive? Why did I have to see this post?
"A little nonsense now and then, is treasured by the wisest men" Willy Wonka forever.... RIP Mr. Wilder xxx
"So shines a good deed in a weary world..." Man this makes me so sad. What a brilliant actor. He created the idea of Wonka walking out slowly with a cane, and then falling, seemingly to the floor, and then doing a somersault up. He said that it would show how you couldn't tell if Wonka was lying or not. Brilliant. Check out two scenes yourself: Wonka's entrance with a cane: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz9jc5blzRM So shines a good deed in a weary world https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgVS1OhucbI It makes me want to cry thinking about this, he was such a brilliant man.
