Canadian Paul 97 Posted February 20, 2006 Saw him tipped on the possibles for 2007 list. I thought he was beating cancer. Anyone know any more? Made a full recovery from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2000. Admittedly though, most people I talk to think he's dead already, so whatever that tells you I guess.

I'll trust your judgement here CP it's either: Your friends are clued up. or You hang around with people that don't get out much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canadian Paul 97 Posted February 21, 2006 You hang around with people that don't get out much. For someone who doesn't hang around in Dead Chat, you sure hit that one on the nose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MyBrainHurts2 4 Posted February 21, 2006 Saw an interview with him a couple months ago. Looks decent enough, claims he's in complete remission. I'm inclined to believe him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bennett_Cerf 2 Posted May 20, 2006 Just the other evening in nearly rapid succession, I viewed part of Stir Crazy on one television channel and then saw Willy Wonka on another. That Augustus Gloop fellow certainly is a hoot! As to Mr. Wilder, I have long enjoyed his work although not near as much as certain other entertainers.

Oh gracious me, that does not sound at all good for him. Perhaps he was eating too many carrots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Handrejka 1,911 Posted May 20, 2006 According to his autobiography he is in complete remission. I'd be more concerned about those close to him, Madeline Kahn, Gilda Radner and Richard Prior have all died young. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,684 Posted May 20, 2006 Curse of the Wilders nowt. I'd suggest Richard Pryor made - perhaps - a small contribution to his own early death. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pulphack 6 Posted May 20, 2006 true, but that doesn't account for kahn or radner - maybe it's just women around wilder who are susceptible to the curse? as for the man himself, even if he's beaten it for now, he's been incredibly frail for some time to judge by his tv and signing appearances. i've been expecting him to peg out for a while.

maryportfuncity 10,684 Posted May 20, 2006 D'ya know what Pulphack, there might be summat in this. Marty Feldman - a close seventies associate of our man - was well short of a bus pass when his ticker gave out! Cue the Twilight Zone theme, again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ms. K Posted September 12, 2006 Gene Wilder is doing fine. he was recently sighted at an art show in Stamford Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,684 Posted September 12, 2006 Nice of you to drop in Ms K, could you help us any more. Any oxygen tanks sighted nearby, did he run half a mile to buy a sandwich. Did he stand on a chair and sing a song called: 'I Licked Cancer and Life's Just Fine.' I mean, all we've established is that he's alive and mobile, I think we knew that.
