No, unfourtnately. He has said that if something "unforgettable" and "amazing" that he just "had to do" came along, he'd do it, but so far that hasn't happened. He still gives the public a taste of his talent, though...by writing novels!

Gene Wilder was born June 11, 1933. He was 38 years-old in 1971. If what you're asking is how old he was during the filming of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, however, this is not correct. He was actually 37 at that time, as Willy Wonkafilmed in the fall of 1970.

Gene Wilder. :) His BIRTH name, however, was Jerome (Jerry) Silberman.
As of September 2012, Gene Wilder is still living.
No, Thornton Wilder and Gene Wilder are not related. Thornton Wilder was an American playwright and novelist, known for works like "Our Town" and "The Skin of Our Teeth," while Gene Wilder was an American actor known for his roles in films such as "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory" and "Young Frankenstein."
That depends on what you mean by "retire". He is mostly retired from acting (although he says that if something really special and unforgettable were to come along, he'd do it), but he is still very active as an author! :)
It's Gene Wilder, who sang it in the 1971 version of "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory".
As of February 2013, Gene is almost 80 years old (he was born on June 11th, 1933) and alive and well! :)
Techinically, he still is one. While he prefers writing to acting these days and doesn't like most of the scripts he's sent, he has said that if something really "memorable" and "fantastic" were to come along, he'd do it! :)
Gene Wilder was born Jerome Silberman in Milwaukee Wisconsin on June 11th, 1933.
No he was not.
