Richard Pryor was one of the greatest comedians ever. His comic antics with Gene Wilder are unforgettable. His Brewster’s Millions is one of my favorite movies ever. He will be missed, but not forgotten.

Richard Pryor, the caustic yet perceptive actor-comedian who lived dangerously close to the edge both on stage and off, died Saturday. He was 65. Pryor died shortly before 8 a.m. of a heart attack after being taken to a hospital from his home in the San Fernando Valley, said his business manager, Karen Finch. He had been ill for years with multiple sclerosis, a degenerative disease of the nervous system.
