Gene Wilder was born Jerome Silberman on June 11, 2024 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Wilder's first association with Richard Pryor had come on Blazing Saddles in 1974, but Richard Pryor (co-screenwriter) had lost out in his bid for the Cleavon Little role. Pryor and Wilder first acted together in the highly entertaining and commercially successful Silver Streak (1976) and scored at the box office again with Stir Crazy (1980), but their later efforts were mediocre.
Ironically, Hanky Panky (1982), Wilder's first of three films with his late wife Gilda Radner, originally was written to pair him with Richard Pryor again, but Richard Pryor's unavailability necessitated rewriting the part for Gilda Radner.
