The world lost a comedy legend one Monday when the great Gene Wilder died at 83. The actor starred in several acclaimed movies, including "Young Frankenstein" and "Blazing Saddles," but his most beloved role was certainly the whimsical lead character of 1971's "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory."
The classic Roald Dahl adaptation is 45 years old, and a lot has changed since Wonka took the five golden ticket holders on a tour of his out-of-this-world candy shop.
Here's what the actors who played the five kids - Charlie Bucket, Violet Beauregarde, Augustus Gloop, Veruca Salt, and Mike Teavee - as well as an Oompa Loompa, are up to these days.
