Gene Wilder’s widow reveals his last words

"Gene was wonderful; he was the best husband I think anybody could ask for. To love and be loved is the best gift anybody could ask for, and we had that”

Gene Wilder’s widow, Karen Boyer, recently revealed the actor’s final words before his death in August 2016.

She shared what happened in the “Blazing Saddles” star’s final moments as part of a new documentary, “Remembering Gene Wilder.”

Boyer was Wilder’s fourth wife. They were married from 1991 until his death at the age of 83.

“He hadn’t walked alone [in a long time] and it was just a few days before he died, and I looked up and he was walking across the kitchen and then he said, ‘I want to go swimming,’” Boyer said in the documentary, per People. “He dove into the pool like he used to — I saw his little tush in the air — and I was awestruck.”
