Portraying the memorable character Willy Wonka, he was a man we felt we knew as a friend. A playful magician of sorts, full of whimsy he offered sage advice and taught life’s lessons to those that lacked guidance. We identified with Charlie Bucket; the underdog surrounded by bullies and spoiled children such as Veruca Salt, Augustus Gloop, Mike TeeVee, and Violet Beauregarde, each who were reflections of their parents. Charlie and his family were poor. Fatherless, he supplemented the family income as a paperboy while going to school. Except for the love of his elderly family and mother who toiled in a laundry washing and cleaning other people’s clothes, he had no positive role models
