Cinematic comedy legend Gene Wilder died Sunday night of complications from Alzheimer’s disease. He was 83.
Wilder had largely faded from public view; his last film credit was 25 years ago. But his family revealed Monday in a statement that the star of “The Producers,” “Young Frankenstein,” and “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease three years ago.
