June 11, 1933 – August 29, 2016
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was originally written in
1964 by British author Roald Dahl. It was a fabulous book that I loved as a
child. The movie based on this book, Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory
was a childhood statement piece. Released in 1971, many years before I was
born, it was a popular movie in my household. It was a top choice with us three
kids on many occasions.
Gene Wilder, actor of Willy Wonka, was an amazing choice for
the part. He was entertaining and really brought the character from the book to
life. It was sad to hear of his passing today and I wanted to make note of his
impact on my life. I look forward to sharing this movie with my children one
day.
