Gene Wilder: Served In The Medical Corps
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory might have not been the same if Gene Wilder had not portrayed the title character the way he did. When someone becomes a celebrity, we often think that every aspect of their life is known to us, but in reality, some facts about them still remain hidden.

Since then, all he liked to do was amusing the audiences for years that followed.
