R.I.P. Willy Wonka

Great actor, loved many of his movies. He will be missed. A true legend. When Charlie gave him the everlasting gobstopper at the end of the movie...

What an impressive body of work....truly ran the proverbial gamut. "No no no....don't shoot him......if you do that?...it'll only make him mad...."

I read where he accepted the role of Willy Wonka on the condition that they change his entrance. He conceived of the limp out of the building, the stuck cane in the cobblestone, the pause with no cane, the slow fall forward... leading to a somersault to his feet. A great bit.
