[edit] Chronology of controversy
I made a minor change about the tit-for-tat of the Wonka controversy. Chronology is not very interesting. These are two intelligent men and they said what they said. As far as I am concerned: you give them one turn each and no rejoinders or last words. I am sure that they are still friends and everything, not that it matters. Amorrow 23:23, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
There's a lot of detail about Wilder's work against cancer and the death of his wife Gilda Radner on her bio page. Quite a lot of that is ad rem here. Some mention of his work on the Producers might be useful.
I removed a reference to him having a cameo in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" as I see no evidence he made such a cameo. --Esprix 20:05, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Filmography Accuracy?
I don't ever remember seeing/hearing Wilder in "Stuart Little," and the IMDB page for it has no mention of him. Where did we get this?
- It's probably another stint in the latest round of Valdalism. I've found it a few times with the characters from Roseanne. I'll remove it.Mitch 21:58, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Removed link to the song "Sappy"
There was a link on the word "sappy" that I assume was supposed to go to an article about the word "sappy", but there is no such article, and the link went to an article about the song "Sappy". I removed the link.PerDaniel 23:21, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Gibberish after "United States Army from 1956 to 1958
He served in the United States Army from 1956 to 1958. Is cousins with Goldie. Amazing. Is Jon's idol. Super.

[edit] "Best known"?
I switched around the lines about "Willy Wonka" and "Mel Brooks", I think it makes a little more sense this way. --Smart Mark Greene 22:38, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Nothing
There appears to be nothing on Gene Wilder's page. Any reason? 21:25, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
No worries, I've reverted the page. Uber HW 21:25, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] #38 on The 100 Greatest Performances?
"In 2006, Premiere Magazine placed two of his performances on its list of The 100 Greatest Performances:
- Ranked as #9 -- Dr. Frederick Frankenstein (pronounced FRONK-en-steen) in Young Frankenstein.
- Ranked as #38 -- Willy Wonka in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory."
The latter I cannot confirm online - see [1]. I have written a note about it.
Can anyone explain this? Is the online list different from the printed? --Jhertel 21:22, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
