his breakthrough role as the neurotic accountant "leo bloom" in the 1968 brooks' comedy "the producers," earned wilder an oscar nomination for best supporting actor. "no! no! don't hit. it doesn't help. it only increases my sense of danger." gene wilder was born in milwaukee, wisconsin and caught the acting bug by doing theater. his professional relationship with brooks was akin to lightning in a bottle. he earned his second oscar nod, this time for best adapted screenplay for their parody "young frankenstein." "it could work!" his role as a hard-drinking gunslinger in "blazing saddles," also helped to cement wilder's meteoric rise to stardom. "yeah, but i shoot with this hand." perhaps the film that endeared the witty actor to many across generations is "willy wonka and the chocolate factory." "in a world of pure imagination." his private life became public with his marriage in 1984 to "saturday night live" star gilda radner. sadly, after two years of marriage radner was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and died three years later. wilder dealt with his grief by establishing "gilda's club," a home away from home for patients and families. the actor teamed up with his friend richard pryor for a string of successful comedies, including "silver streak," stir crazy," and "see no evil, hear no evil." by the 1990s wilder remarried and kept his career going with various projects. however in 1999, the performer was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma. with the help of chemotherapy and stem cell transplants, wilder made a complete recovery. acting took a back seat in his life, and except for a few small t-v roles, he focused his energy on writing. in 2005, he released his memoir "kiss me like a stranger: my search for love and art." gene wilder will be remembered for his wit and warmth, and his memorable performances that were simply unforgettable. the new york times is reporting.

not stopping him from trying to reach the white house. trump, clinton, clinton, trump - it seems for a year now it's all we've heard about. but do you know who this man is? "i'm the only one in this race who has firsthand experience fighting terrorism" evan mcmullin - a former c-i-a operative and investment banker - is now a conservative presidential candidate taking his fight from the battlefields to cornfields of iowa and beyond. at forty years old - mcmullin says he's jumping into the race to offer to offer an alternative. "i had hoped someone with national name id would step forward, no one did so the question was do nothing or get involved" but is it too little, too late? the deadline to get a candidate's name on the ballot has passed in many states and so far mcmullin is only on a handful of rosters including: colorado, iowa, and utah. so we asked him - how he could ever expect to compete? "in the case we're not on the ballot in certain states, well be advancing a write in campaign" but before he can get write-in support- mcmullin knows he needs to get people's attention. it's no easy task - especially this year - but this underdog says it's all about offering a direct appeal.
