Gene Wilder in my opinion always seems best when playing a quirky character. Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, and of course Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. It's usually tough to get him to sign things through the mail. You have to catch him at the right time from what I've read. I found out that during WWII he served in a military hospital that was about 15 miles away from my house. When I wrote to him I barely even mentioned his acting career- but thanked him for his service in the War and mentioned that I live very close to where he was working at during that time. A few months later I got this back with his signature on it. I absolutely loved him as Willy Wonka- I was really glad to have hi sign this for me.
