Who’s the better Willy Wonka? Wilder or Depp?
I lean toward Depp. It’s a difficult decision, because I enjoyed Wilder’s performance in the 1971 film, especially when I was a little girl.
But Johnny Depp blows me away in almost everything I see him in. He’s got this nack of disappearing into his characters that few “stars” possess.
I though his Willy Wonka was utterly brilliant and unique.
Love to hear your thoughts on this, or about the current “Willy Wonka” stage production in Andover this week. I interviewed some cast members, and it sounds terrific. This is another story in Thursday’s paper. Let me know.
