He was 83 when he passed from complications of Alzheimer's disease. We should all mourn his loss. He was known for so many things:
Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory.
Blazing Saddles
Young Frankenstein
The Frisco kid
Alice in Wonderland
The list goes on and he was such a great actor. I just heard about it and I thought it would be nice to make this thread to pay tribute to this man.
NOTICE - My apologies... I can't believe I forgot to mention this and I was very busy with a lot of things. I know this is old news now, but I hope you guys don't mind.
