Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory stars' tragic deaths – from Alzheimer's to heart attacks
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory graced our screens back in August 1971, with the film quickly becoming a family favourite across the world. The iconic film tells the story of young Charlie Bucket and his grandfather winning a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore the mysterious Wonka chocolate factory and meet the eccentric confectioner, Willy Wonka, in the flesh. It was later remade in 2005 by Tim Burton, and now, a new prequel, titled Wonka, has been released with Hollywood star Timothee Chalamet taking on the role of Willy Wonka.
