He had Alzheimer's, apparently. I guess that's why he was not seen so much lately.

He retired in either the late 80s or early 90s it seems like. I could be wrong but I have not seen him in anything since then. It is nice when a great artist dies decades after they were relevant. As one should.

Apparently he won an Emmy for a Will & Grace appearance in 2003. And starred on Broadway in the 1990s.

I never saw Willy Wonka, but loved him in Blazing Saddles, The Producers and Young Frankenstein.

Ah. Well he did retire from films I guess and just dabbled a bit.

How do you figure? :hmm:

Granted maybe a movie can be gay without two adult males of age meeting at any point during the film :P
