I guess the Alzheimer's explains why I've missed him these past years.  I always enjoyed his over-acting, and I should go out and buy a copy of Willy Wonka, but Amazon probably raised the price today.

Happy he no longer suffers from Alzheimer's. Had a brother that had it. He was an icon. The Producers with Zero Mostel is a true classic and much better than the remake. Sayonara to a good man.

Just heard about this.  I'm going to get my copy of Young Frankenstein and watch the hell out of it.

One of the greats. A lot of hilarious movies. My favorite is probably "See No Evil, Hear No Evil." I've never got around to watching "Young Frankenstein" though.

He became a recluse after his wife died... his life from that moment has been one of pain more or less since then.
