In more "2016 is absolutely awful" news.........
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Gene Wilder, the frizzy-haired actor who brought his deft comedic touch to such unforgettable roles as the neurotic accountant in ‘‘The Producers’’ and the deranged animator of ‘‘Young Frankenstein,’’ has died. He was 83.
Wilder’s nephew said Monday that the actor and writer died late Sunday at his home in Stamford, Connecticut, from complications from Alzheimer’s disease.
Jordan Walker-Pearlman said in a statement that Wilder was diagnosed with the disease three years ago, but kept the condition private so as not to disappoint fans.
‘‘He simply couldn’t bear the idea of one less smile in the world,’’ Walker-Pearlman said.

I believe in second chances, and that's why I believe in you.
