About 3,000 fans of the 1971 movie Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory visited the Redford Theatre on March 8 and 9, 2013 to see not only the film, but also two of its stars in person.
Peter Ostrum, who played Charlie Bucket, and Paris Themmen (Mike Teevee) talked about their experiences making the movie and autographed pictures. At a special meet-and-greet event on Saturday, March 9, 150 Willy Wonka enthusiasts were treated to chocolate-covered treats and a question-and-answer session with Peter and Paris.
