Sadly, according to his family via the Associated Press, the great actor Gene Wilder has passed away at the age of 83 from, for now, unknown causes (though it’s rumored he fell ill to complications arising from his battle with Alzheimer’s).
Wilder was married four times, first to Mary Mercier, then to Mary Schutz, thirdly to the late-Saturday Night Live alum Gilda Radner, and finally to Karen Webb in 1991.
We leave you with this scene from Young Frankenstein, that is sure to put a smile on your face – something the comedic actor was always sure to do.
Like many aging actors, Wilder remained active in Hollywood, making special appearances on television shows such as Will & Grace and most recently, the children’s show Yo Gabba Gabba! in 2015.
