EXTREMELY rare-- because the star didn't like to sign much and so many of the examples one encounters are simply not authentic-- 10x8-inch black and white portrait from Blazing Saddles (1974), shown about to use his lightning-fast hand to snatch a chess piece from Cleavon Little, boldly signed in silver paint pen at a private signing for an autograph dealership about two decades ago. In good condition. Late, great eccentric comic actor Gene Wilder is remembered for classic films like Bonnie and Clyde (1967), The Producers (1968), Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971), Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Sex (*But Were Afraid to Ask) (1972), Blazing Saddles (1974), Young Frankenstein (1974), The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother (1975), Stir Crazy (1980), The Woman in Red (1984), and Haunted Honeymoon (1986).
