The mind reels.

And shudders.

Gene Wilder with Leonard Nimoy.
"Start the Revolution Without Me." "Young Frankenstein." "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." "Stir Crazy." "Blazing Saddles." "The Frisco Kid." "Silver Streak." Gene Wilder's presence in the films has informed the imagination and sensibility of at least two generations of movie lovers. His new book, "Kiss Me Like A Stranger," is not a typical memoir — it's more of a love story, about himself, with thousands of great comic moments and equally as many serious ones. He examines what led him to comedy, what led him to psychoanalysis, his reactions to that, and his experiences in love and commitment. Leonard Nimoy is of course our Captain Spock from "Star Trek," who has led us out of intergalactic peril more times than we can imagine.
