And then there was only Teri and Cloris

[Stinky The Clown]

Young Frankenstein is one of our very favorite movies. We do the usual sorts of husband-wife jokes that all couples do, but ours often quote one cast member or another from this Mel Brooks film.

We're saddened at the loss of Gene Wilder. Just one more of the greats who made this movie great lost forever.

On a related note, I heard Gilda Radner's brother pay tribute to Gene, saying how loving and tender he was as Gilda suffered through her cancer. You could hear the love in his voice as he spoke of his brother-in-law.

I'm so glad Gene and Gilda are together again. One of the better love stories of my generation.

1. Get this, and get it right, Death

Leave. Teri. Garr. Alone. Or you might just find out what's worse than Death.

4. great episode.

It was rumored at the time that Gary Seven was supposed to be turned into it's own series.

It think it would have been very cool. Frankly, I think it needs to be revisited.

3. And here is Cloris Leachman's first cinematic performance.

"Kiss Me Deadly"

It is iconic film noir.

5. Wilder was an atheist

he did not think he was going to see Gilda, he was also remarried to a loving wife, and all these Gene and Gilda are together posts are disrespectful to her.
