I heard about this too, but some death notices don't even mention that Wolper produced "Willy Wonka"....

But he did produce "Roots"...didn't he?

He did also produce Roots which is also a fine mini-series but since I use snozberries as a moniker I thought it was obvious which of his works I prefer  ;)
