CBS Film Series Presents ‘Remembering Gene Wilder’

He was born Jerome Silberman but the world would come to know him as Gene Wilder through an extraordinary string of film roles (“Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,” “The Producers,” “Young Frankenstein,” “Blazing Saddles,” “Silver Streak” and “The Frisco Kid.”) From his first collaboration with Mel Brooks, to his on-screen partnership with Richard Pryor, and his marriage to Gilda Radner, the comic genius of Gene Wilder comes to life in this affectionate tribute. Chock full of uproarious clips and poignant reminiscences by Mel Brooks, Carol Kane and Alan Alda, Wilder’s gifts are on display, not only as a comedic actor, writer and director, but as an all-around mensch. Admission $5 per person, includes popcorn and concessions. Raffle tickets ($1) will be on sale for your chance to win a $25 gift card. RSVP to [email protected] or 661-254-2411.
