Terribly sad news, loved him as an actor even if some of his film role choices were a little questionable.

He was Willy Wonka for me, hated the book, loved the movie!

RIP

Loved most of his movies, grew up watching them especially Willy Wonka. The most recent one with Depp was not a patch on him.

RIP Gene.
Blazing Saddles is my favourite comedy of all time and Willy Wonka my favourite film as a child.
