Willy Wonka

We all have seen the original Willy Wonka movie. We've felt the excitement when Charlie finds the Golden Ticket, we've been scared senseless during the chocolate river boat scene, and got uncomfortable when Charlie and Grandpa burp there way down to the floor.

It's been 40 years since that movie was made. Here were the little devils involved:



Here they are all grown up and reunited:




They all look like really nice people. From left to right:

Michael Bollner (Augustus) became a tax attorney.
Denise Nickerson (Violet) became an accountant, but she still has those big brown eyes.
Paris Themmen (Mike) has done a whole lot. Really, more than I can type.
Julie Dawn Cole (Veruca) remained an actress.
Peter Ostrum (Charlie) became a veternarian....and grew a big mustache.

I leave you humming "Pure Imagination"

  1. Look at that, the newest invention from Willy Wonka... WonkaReunion. Bittersweet, with a slighly regretful aftertaste.
