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.
