I loved him in everything he did, I thought he was the best Willy Wonka ever.  I also loved his short-lived sitcom, Something Wilder.

Easy for me and sad to see him gone. Two movies actually. Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein.

I can't even watch an original Frankenstein movie anymore without laughing all the way through it remembering what he did in Young Frankenstein.

We're suppose to be getting rain off and on before it hits, and then Thursday into Friday should be the worst of it. We have plenty of canned goods, dry goods, and bottled water. My only concern at this point is getting Arabella's food delivery on time. I can buy it locally but it is much more expensive.

Here's one of his last interviews he gave in the year 2014-just 2 years ago-as a guest on the Turner Classic Movie Channel where he introduces his 4 favorite movies. 

He is so sweet in this as he relates these movies to his life.

There are 4 interviews in one, so you have to wait a bit in between each one. Each one is just 4-5 minutes long.
