Chew on that for a while :P
Upon hearing of Gene Wilder's passing, my girls and I have been watching scenes from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Three of my daughters enjoyed performing in this musical several years ago as Oompa Loompas, Lollipop girls, and Veruca Salt. This was one of my favorite movies as a child....I still love it! I've always felt like Gene Wilder was the perfect combination of funny and sad...evidence that those aren't opposites....sometimes funny is born from sad...or maybe I should say born for sad. Charlie Chaplin said. "To truly laugh, you must be able to take your pain and play with it." Some people do a really great job teaching us how!
