Future generations are going to think he had eleven fingers. That's kind of amusing. It will get them looking at his movies very carefully.

He used a fake finger to achieve 6 fingers, on his left hand.

Mel Brooks. One of a kind.

Young Frankenstein is one of my favorite films.

He is also one of the nicest, kindest men in real life. A pleasure to chat with. He has no pretenses of being a star, just an ordinary guy from Brooklyn (or as he would say, an ordinary Jew from Bklyn), lol. I didn't say it, he did.!!
