After They Were Famous - Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory 

Humility

That scene of entering the chocolate room was SO like the Wizard of Oz scene when the colorization of the film began.

. . . when Dorothy found herself in Oz.

@@LoriKasprzak-yk6ncSo funny, my first thought was I like to imagine all of the great casts eventually meet up together again in Oz.

Denise was such an amazing person

Aw man I feel terrible for her son 😢

R.I.P

There are 5 actors still living: Shin Hamano who played the candy store owner in Japan and 4 Oompa Loompas: Rusty Goffe and Albert Wilkinson, Rudy Borgstaller and Pepe Poupee (the only female oompa loompa) are possibly still living as it says 'is' an actor/actress known for the film. The unknown actress who played the lady who found Veruca Salt's golden ticket might still be living, she was very young back then. :)

I had no idea that Violet has passed away. 🥲

I have adored and enjoyed the books of Roald Dahl since childhood. But the man was an antisemetic, natzi sympathizer, racist. I have decided to seperate the art from the artist and continue to enjoy the stories I loved years ago. I don't think i'll read them to my own child though. And I have no respect for any person on earth who hold such disgusting beliefs and values. Fuck him and Fuck anyone else who thinks like him.

@sugar sisters yes, although the movie is over half a century old, and most of the actors were well into adulthood when it was made, so it's expected. It's still a sad loss

how she passed

@@MsDisneylandlover pneumonia after nasty stroke such a tragedy

Yes she will

I didn't know this. Thank you for posting this.

It breaks my heart. Especially the woman. She turn out be a sweetheart. Both the ladies did

He was born in 1934

Pancakes666lol no he wasn't

no it was 1933

IMDB says 1933

Wilders in heaven jsut looking at this shaking his head

lol XD

Hi diddly ho neighbour ooney!

Yaaaaassss!!!! Lol

The 'in like' joke only works when it's a smaller number. Not literally how long it might take him to 30 years. Going from anything to anything else "in like 30 years" is not noteworthy or impressive

@@justsaiyan4736 who actually cares?

U would think they had the world and tbf they didn’t make that much money from being in the film 😮

At my 11 th birthday party Gordon craig was like Mike TV running amok.

omg 😂

cheriblossom983 or the dad from Wild Thornberries 😂

I thought I was alone on that one! 😁

@@Rowiiexx Nigel

yea haha

We have so much to thank them for.

Dodo Denny. Also Roald Dahl was a racist.

King Emi So? He still was a racist

Christopher Centeno yeah they are

The man who played Veruca's dad died as well

I always wanted her dress and fur coat!!!

I love that she clearly had gum in her mouth!

MISH9.com The Art of Patience Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka's dad would be cool

No.

Honestly, it would've been nice to see a cameo from them all

@Blair Bart kinda like one tooth extraction is better then 2

You are loopy, the new one was not better first one was so full of mystery new one played too much on the "Psychedelic" feel. It felt like I was watching just another classic movie with a Tim Burton spin, generic as hell.

Agreed. Peter Ostrum is a humble person

Agree. So glad Hollywood didn’t get its hooks in him.

He kinda reminds me of Ned Flanders from The Simpsons.

​@@mimiadams247 hahahaha, hard out lol, can't stop laughing at that lol.

@@mimiadams247 Yeah but he doesn't get on your last nerve like Flanders does, though.

I can imagine the thoughts of any Little Person in show biz: "Are they kidding? THIS is my role? And THAT is my costume? Oh well, at least it's a job..."

@@maryblaufuss7533 over the top crazy cool

The way they joked around with eachother as they shared their stories and carried the "bit more powder" bit into their recreation was heart warming ...I imagine any vertically challenged person not named Peter Dinklage really would be happy just to get a role in the post-Dinklage climate. Dude's screwed over the people he claims to represent. Six roles lost in Snow White! Imagine if they decided to do a large scale remake of The Wizard of Oz! It would just be Peter and a bunch of average-height people or Peter as the only adult amongst a bunch of not-quite-elf children.

Exactly that was awesome!

​@@gypsywoman9140 Dwarfs are magical by their mere appearance, and play important roles in Native American, Indian, Asian, African, Greek, Norse, Celtic and Germanic mythology and folklore. The appearances of dwarfs are closely linked to the description of supernatural fairies, leprechauns, hobbits, gnomes, goblins, elves, vamana and pygmies, and thus dwarf people gives every movie a natural otherworldly appearance which is interesting to watch, especially for kids.

@@cheesemccheesy3850p

IM FAIz yes.

zero 0000 it's interesting because Roald Dahl actually didn't like this movie

Because it strayed to far from the book I would say

zero 0000 💯 %

Johnny Depp version is better...

I personally prefer the new one with Johnny Depp; The original is a bit cheesey!

So true. It made you want to eat chocolate all day long

And really, he wasn't that big like they were making him out to be. I know compared to then it was different but in today's media, 130-144lbs is literally perfect!

@@moonlight_sparkle6659 No, it isn't

Someone should have asked that interviewer how much his wife weighed 🤣

It was a different world back then and what is and what's not 'Taboo' continues to ever evolve...

Yes, so appalling! Poor guy.😢

Don't forget when he said help murder, When gloop fell in the chocolate.

Same I found it funny as hell 😂

I would have loved to get along with him.

She upturns those bowls of candy and spins that shopping cart and catches it like choreography.. all while singing and getting all the points on cue.. Amazing!

This was one of my favorite movies. When my daughter told me that my granddaughter was trying out for her middle school's play and I knew who she was going for.. Veruca Salt! And she got it. And, of course, did a great job. No prejudice here 🤪 There's must have been the other one since it had squirrels.. I hadn't seen Charlie and the Chocolate Factory since I had loved Willie Wonka and don't watch remakes. And you are right about Julie's performance... 👍🏻

She said it took over 30 takes to get that scene right. After each take all the boxes had to be restacked and everything else put back in place.

I pull that scene up on RU-vid about once a year, I agree, it is a great scene! Google Julie Dawn Cole, "I Want It Now!" Tap on the 3:14 version for the complete scene. Enjoy!

Her oldest daughter looked just like her at that age. I wonder if she also inherited the singing power.

He WAS Mr. Wonka.

Johnny Depp and JP Karliak may try, but there can only be one definitive silver screen Wonka.

Johnny Depp did it better sorry I gotta admit he 2005 version in my opinion is superior than the 1971 version

Elish UH The book has some extremely racist moments. The Oompa Loompas were Black Pygmies.

Elish UH That is not acceptable. The book was terrible. The movie also was, the Oompa-Loompas make me uncomfortable.

You mean July 10th

😢😭😢

Jack (who is Grandpa Joe) is gone, half of the Oompa Loompas are dead, Gene is dead and now Denise is joining them.

Why did they give no dedication to Gene ?

The Reverend Jim Jones no

phoenixman8569 oh that hurts my heart

me too, so many genx childhood entertainers have now passed into the silver screen in the sky!!!

Gone but not forgotten.

I just came across this "wonderful walk down memory lane"piece at around 4 am in the morning because, well I'm always scrolling through RU-vid looking for interesting things to watch. Nobody can tell me that this didn't bring back memories of your childhood, or even had a dry eye to say the least. I can't even begin to imagine what those "Kids," now adults, felt when the floods Gates of their memories had opened up when they had stepped back into time and relived being back at Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory! Thank You Ms. Denise "Violet" Nickerson for being a part of my life and forever in my memories because of this wonderful movie that you played in, and that you will always be, for us, still Violet for all eternity. May Pease be with you and with your family.

I heard about that. So sad =( RIP Denise

so true

He's in that chocolate factory in the sky. RIP Gene Wilder

This was a Sunday evening movie on TV for me. WPIX 11 in NJ played it all the time. I’d drop everything and sit down to watch every time. This was in the early 90s. Must have been amazing in the theatre :)

When I went to see it the ticket cost 50cents and they gave away golden tickets that looked just like the movie one. I ended up getting about 10 of them cause I knew as a child that would be neat to have, but alas, a vagabond home life and Many years later I no longer have them. Shame.

I also saw this when it first came out. This was the movie I went to see on my very first date. I was 10 so it was a chaperoned date. Every so often, I think of that girl and wonder whatever became of her.

I was about 11 when I first say this in the early 70s, it was at my grandmothers house, and after we saw the chocolate factory we kept on watching it over and over and over all night.

Same with watching the Wizard Of Oz at my grandparents place for the first time. The Muppet Movie, Grease, The Breakfast Club, superman 1 and 2, oh the memories.

Paul Raymond I remember her on dark shadows 😊❤️

tammi mccormick And The Electric Company!

I ALSO COULDNT STAND HIM, making a little woman do laundry to support all those old geezers, HE TOLD CHARLIE TO DRINK THE FUZZY BUBBLES which was against Wonka's rules, then has the nerve to get angry at him.

@@marilynwillett804 Yet another point to show that Gramps was a fucking asshole! Good point.

and what got him up was the opportunity to eat free candy

LMAO 🤣

Hahaha

That started long before nowadays. Namely Judy Garland. But, she was fed drugs by the production crew to stay awake for longer hours. Hollywood is sick.

@DroidTech Seems like a great guy but.... that is a funny observation.

"Okily dokily" neighbor 🤣

It would be wild if his wifes name was maude.

Oh my gosh! you're too funny.

@Jesus is God what does this have to do with the movie?

One of my Favorite childhood Movies ❗

@@yeetusdeletus7499 true fan

Oh wow! Was she a good therapist? :)

Wow!

@@kobi509 Ikr!

@@TheArctofireHD Yeah!

I’m sure she helped your sister. Julie’s so good you WON’T go nuts!

No. The creativity never stops. What is lacking is enough Bell and Howell cameras and how many budding film companies can afford film stock? Put an old Filmo under the christmas tree.

51

I'm 45 years old. I remember this movie so well as a kid. Brings me back to my very happy childhood. I watched the movie in elementary school with all my classmates. Yeah, I had many friends when I was young. Joyful memories.

I am 57 and have this on DVD. Everytime I watch this I enjoy every minute.

Racer x I feel the same 52 and you cannot beat these older films. EVery remake in my opinion has been rubbish so far.

I grew up near Lodi! I’m from Ceres. Small world. :)

He also had a part in Bonnie & Clyde!!

He was a legend. He always will be. Who else gets to be in that many classic films. Films that will live forever.

The 2005 Johnny Depp version isn’t a remake, it’s another adaptation of the BOOK, just like the 1971 version, it’s ALSO an adaptation. A lot of people forget to remember both versions of the film were based of the 1964 book…

The remakes is for the new generation a lot of these kids are not gonna watch this one. In fact, a lot of the kids of this generation like actually liked the Johnny Depp version better cause I know some kids that were born later in the 2000s or whatever liked that like in 2005 and that they were born and they were really like the Johnny Depp one. They don’t like this version so my point is the remakes of for the newer generation a lot of the kids cause this movie is gonna eventually fade as generations grow. This movie is going to fade. Overtime is sad to say, but not all kids nowadays are gonna watch this version so you don’t sit there say no need for me remix who said you have to watch it and the giant version is not really remake because that one’s called Charlie and the chocolate factory so that was never supposed to be remake at all, but again everybody has different taste and is more for another generation. They make stuff like that for newer generations and there’s nothing wrong with that.

We also lost Diana Sowle, aka Charlie's mother, on October 19, 2018.

That’s one of the many magical things about great cinema. It lives forever. They’ll all live forever. And new people will love them for decades and decades to come.

This is why people go to movies because they can live the fantasy on the screen and pretend for a little while that they hold the magic.

Denise turned up on one of the FINAL BRADY BUNCH episodes in 1974.(And that is her asTina in a FLIPPERR (originL SERIES) episode..passed just this year.

Not necessarily. Denise Nickerson's parents rode on her coattails, using her earnings. When she turned 21, there was no trust fund, they'd spent it all. For many years, she would not reveal her past as a child actress. I felt so bad for her, and then she had her stroke. I'm grateful her son and his wife took such good care of her right up to the end. We miss you, Denise.

And he became a rural veterinarian. An awesome choice since he didn't pursue showbiz.

@@pinkfreud62 Pete Ostrum lives in the same town as I do, met him a couple of time, really nice guy. He goes to all the elementary schools in this county and speaks to the children about his time as a childhood actor.

He's still the catch that Denise and Julie thought he was when they were kids.

Great guy

Had?......is he dead?

bruh it's actually good that we don't do that anymore. He may have admitted he was annoying, but back then adults could literally abuse children and that was considered socially acceptable. Doing this kind of stuff, like for example, beating your child over something small and mundane could heavily impact the child and even lead to trauma. So basically you are glorifying and romanticizing the days parents could say and do psychologically damaging things to their own children. Disgusting.

@@okayyeppers2147 the problem is we've gone from abusing and neglecting children to now coddling them into spoiled monsters. There is a middle ground here, and we are not there.

Matt C I was thinking along those lines. I thought of only 3 being equally good but different. Willie Wonka The Wizard of Of A b&w about a boy who runs away to Coney Island

Unlike the Wizard of Oz, this movie always bring tears to my eyes.

And Alice in Wonderland

rcdogman duh the girl from wizard of oz that plays the main character went to my high school.

True

Nothing can top these movies

Ernie P absolutely true

Ernie P And both were made in Germany.

And back to the future!

Pity Roald Dahl hated the film.

Not really.

Agreed, Andrew.

itsjemmabond why would Roald Dahl hate the film basted on his own book

liehnej1 Because it wasn't true to the original story.

@@gillianwilson1330 It was in the news. Maybe not on television, but it was on MSN. She had a severe stroke last year and never fully recovered. She was about to become a first-time grandmother.

Even though his fictional grandpa was evil. That old man did not get up once to help Charlie mom and Charle with working so the whole family could eat, but as soon when it came to taking a vacation to The Chocolate factory he has time to sneak out at night to buy Charlie an extra chocolate bar to try and get golden 🎫 , and when Charlie finally finds a golden ticket he ask grandpa joe to go, of course the old man has his fake miracle then he can walk don’t forget That old man took good money for his tobacco habit from Charlie mom and later on Charlie told him that he would pay for grand pa nasty habit, he told Charlie to steal and disobey rules.

He does not look that old.

Thank you for this! I had no idea this existed. Delightful! Thanks again :)

Thanks Mate

Thank you Dec Cart.

The Albino Kangaroo yes he sure did Gene Wilder was a very talented man and he made the character her played absolutely perfectly. ❤️

I am with you Tiffany Sanchez Gene Wilder played a great iconic Willy Wonka. The child actors made this movie as well, the updated version just does not hold up at all. Johnny Depp at times over acts, I was once in theatre. So glad Tim Burton did not put him in my favorite film Big Fish.

He was and still is the "Willy Wonka" of my generation. Way better then Johnny Depp in the Tim Burton movie.

@@SamuelG2000"Pure pussy??? I'll tell that to the JUDGE!!"

@@SamuelG2000 Till all are one, Gene Wilder!

Hollywood is really a family business. The only actors and actresses that truely make it for the most part are the ones with family that already have established careers such as David DeLuise who's father is Dom DeLuise. Hell look at the Coppola family. Their family know the right people or are in the proper position to give them a head start or have the money to support them.

@@yoda908 how about Drew Barrymore who comes from the Barrymore family who has had past people acting already in the industry and have old money...

@@richiethev4623 true.

So so many people got robbed in the name of hollywood progress .

@@yoda908 now they pay a one time lump sum then they have actor say a to z into the computer they record them moving and saying some lines and they can use them in anyway they want all computer made . It's sick and sad .

Linny Crocus he was referring to Paris, who played Mike Teevee.

I laughed at that comment through the whole video. Yes Fire Woman, we all know who Gene was talking about.

[Paris Themmen runs around like crazy being intrusively annoying] "It's called 'method', Gene, and it's a perfectly legitimate acting technique!!"

I figured he meant Violet. Obnoxious spoiled brat. I wanted to strangle her myself when i saw it at 7.

I meant Verucka. Worse than Violet

I was also 8 when I first watched the film in 1987. It was at, the then new, Centre Parcs in Sherwood Forest on their brand new cable TV. Advertised as the holiday" the British weather can't spoil," but it did! So ended up watching this movie.

I burst into tears every time I see an image of Gene Wilder especially if it is with " Pure Imagination". Isn't it weird that you can get so emotional about someone you don't know but has been a big part of your life? Yes indeed, Rest In Peace Mr. Wilder.

I think that it is a sign that the actor did a very good job in making the story real for you. It's the same way with books. Gene was very good at his craft and he will be missed. The great ones are all passing away.They had class.

Gene Wilder nest pas mor pour due vrai au si lonten qu il et dans notre Coeur, notre tete et que set film reste viven il reste a tou j amai viven car il himortele grase au film . Alor set pas un adieu mai pluto un aurevoi ❤🌟
