In 1999, Gene was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and underwent chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant. Since 2005, he has been in complete remission.
Wilder just released a book of short stories called "What Is This Thing Called Love?"

What do you mean What happened to him? He is a 76 year old man, dude. Plus, Cancer doesn't leave you looking too awesome either.
Remember him!!?!? How could anyone forget!! Young Frankenstein...The Woman in Red...The Worlds Greatest Lover... and the mad crazy skills go on!! You hang in there Gene, great talent like yours is hard to come by we want to keep you as long as we can!!
I wish everyone could afford a stem cell transplant when they are in need of it. Not just people who make way too much money for acting like they are someone who doesn't exist.
LOVED HIM as WILLY WONKA! he did a superb job! I've seen that movie over 20 times.....he is the best!
He is a wonderful man. About 20 years ago when I was in college, I was in a book store and, unbeknownst to me, a creepy guy was trailing me. Gene Wilder was in the store and saw what was happening and came over and stopped the guy and had him removed from the store, and stuck around to be sure the guy was gone. Not a lot of people would have gotten involved...
