Funny Line in Gene Wilder Book Review

Just imagine this moment:

[Wilder] was drafted into the Army in 1956, where he spent much of his time as an aide in a psychiatric ward, helping to administer electroshock therapy to patients. Two years later, he was discharged. He changed his name -- Wilder is from Thornton Wilder, Gene is from a Thomas Wolfe novel -- took classes with Lee Strasberg, auditioned a lot and married a woman whom he began to dislike on the drive to their honeymoon.

Yikes.

Here's the full review of Wilder's "Kiss Me Like a Stranger," a review worth reading, if not the book itself.
