Yeah, you don't think he was working in the 60's but he was in The Producers, kinda shocking. Title: Re: Happy 75th birthday Gene Wilder!!!!

Title: Re: Happy 75th birthday Gene Wilder!!!! Post by: trekgeezer on June 12, 2008, 10:11:12 AM At 53 myself, when I see stuff like this it really makes me feel old. I remember being stationed in Virginia and a bunch of us went to a local mall to watch Blazing Saddles, I was 19 and Wilder would've been considered an old guy at the time.
I did see him on TV a while back and he didn't look real good. Title: Re: Happy 75th birthday Gene Wilder!!!! Post by: Oldskool138 on June 12, 2008, 03:23:46 PM Is he officially retired....The last time I saw him was when he had his own short-lived sitcom and that was ages ago. I figured he'd get some bit parts or cameos. Still, he is/was very funny. Happy B-Day and many more to come!
Title: Re: Happy 75th birthday Gene Wilder!!!! Post by: AndyC on June 12, 2008, 04:32:07 PM I saw him in some sort of A&E murder mystery a few years back.
I think what throws me off about guys like Wilder is that my favourite of his movies are all 35 years old or more - The Producers, Willy Wonka, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein. Didn't pay much attention to his work with Richard Pryor. So 75 makes sense when you do the math (although I sure wouldn't have guessed he was 40-ish back then), but it's kind of a shock to watch Blazing Saddles repeatedly and then hear the guy is 75.

I did see a recent photo of him and he didn't look to bad for a guy 75 years old. |
