Gene Wilder

For many he is the one and only Willy Wonka - for me, the brilliance of Blazing Saddles just shades it in my favourites.

83 years old and had non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. ( or Alzheimer's complications depending which report you read - I read the bbc one)

RIP you wonderful, funny man.

RIP The Waco Kid.

[FONT=&quot]"Well, it got so that every ****-ant prairie punk who thought he could shoot a gun would ride into town to try out the Waco Kid. I must have killed more men than Cecil B. DeMille. It got pretty gritty. I started to hear the word "draw" in my sleep. Then one day I was just walking down the street, when I heard a voice behind me say, "Reach for it, mister!" I spun around, and there I was face-to-face with a six-year-old kid. Well, I just threw my guns down and walked away. Little b*stard shot me in the ass! So I limped to the nearest saloon, crawled inside a whiskey bottle, and I've been there ever since."[/FONT]

One of the all-time great comedic monologues, AC.
