GENE WILDER, who regularly stole the show in such comedic gems as The Producers, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Stir Crazy, died Monday at his home in Stamford, Conn. His nephew Jordan Walker-Pearlman said he died of complications from Alzheimer’s disease. He was 83.  His family closed the announcment with "We are the Music-Makers, We are the Dreamers of Dreams." But as much as I love "Pure Imagination," my fave Wilder musical moment has to be "Puttin' on the Ritz." Wilder was hysterical...and wet. And Pauline Kael knew it. Lastly, here's Wilder at the 92nd St Y circa 2013.
