What a blessing for Gilda that she had a wonderful man to love her as she fought for her life at the end.

[@thinkcivil1627]

These two were meant for each other. They were great on their own, as well as working together. RIP to each of them.

[@wildwalker44]

They were, but his second wife was a wonderful person too and she took care of him in his later years.

[@lindaclark9925]

.....she took care of him..." ?...she was a great love to him, it's in his book.​@@wildwalker44

Gene Wilder had beutiful eyes. What sparkle they had. They are so different in their interviews. They were brillant.

[@stevenzapiler5806]

Gene's intensity about everything is familiar. And his deep intense adoration for Gilda is beautiful. And she is so light and funny and sweet and smart and earnest. I don't remember this interviewer at all. He LOVES these two people. Wow.

[@melgor5785]

What's funny is that Gilda was the one who was CRAZY about Gene...she pursued him, and pretty much begged him to marry her. (Her words, from her autobiography)

[@TheNancers]

I agree with everything you posted. Especially about the interviewer. He not only LOVES them, but had great questions because he was knowledgable.

[@Mphil4266]

Gene and Gilda some of the funniest and best actors of all time. God Bless both of you for the great memories. Rest in Peace.

[@NeutronDance]

One of the best celebrity couples. They were so true for each other.

[@melanieyoung9463]

Sweethearts that's what they be

[@AymeeDonovan]

He said his true love is his 2nd wife

[@krisannsmith7480]

He loved his second wife more he tells in an interview how mean Gilda was to him, she would yell at him but be nice to everyone else. If you type gene wilder on gilda on KZbin you can find the interview. He loved her just a different way than his second wife, who he called his true love.

[@IncubusOfDeath]

Beautiful hearted, and hilarious couple..... they are truly missed. ❤

[@MsNooneinparticular]

"Anyone, on welfare even, could go and see that movie. Anyone couldn't (afford to) see the Broadway play." And that's why I love this man. It was truly about the love of the craft, not money for him.

[@lindagosnell6985]

Gosh I miss those two. ❤

[@shannonhart4803]

Gene Wilder is looking at Gilda with such love... so sweet.

Such talent, joined in marriage, and yet their own individuality shines. Yes, Gene’s eyes are bright and beautiful! Gilda is so adorable, herself in every way , lovely! Miss seeing them both. Together forever 🕊🦋🕊🦋🕊

[@user-jt5wd8jz3i]

It was interesting to hear two comic legends discuss certain aspects of their decisions regarding their lives and careers in a relaxed and honest manner ❤😂😢😊👍

At the beginning, my eyes watered,so sad that we lost two greats in the entertainment field.

These two are missed, not to forget Brian Linehan was one of the best at interviews.

[@josephblumenthal1228]

This makes me want to cry. They both gave me so much joy. They make me want to cheer for them. So grateful I had the chance to see them work

[@stephengiese7549]

Gilda was very cute and gene was very supportive. He was holding her hands. How much more does one have to show love and support? I have never seen a couple like this. Rip to both.

[@missmigz6559]

Love these two! This is a great interview

[@tiffanykane692]

I had been in love with Gene since Willy Wonka. And Gilda. Gawd, they were the perfect couple. Haunted Honeymoon was great.

[@JAnotherday]

Such a lovely brilliant couple of Comedy! Both are missed! Rest in peace

[@Retrorevelations]

It's a shame that Hanky Panky wasn't a big bit. It was an odd creature, somewhat a comedy, but more a tense conspiracy thriller with some silliness sprinkled in. But it was a great movie. For that matter, it's a damn shame that Haunted Honeymoon wasn't a big hit. Seriously one of Wilder's best films, he directed it beautifully, and it's hilarious.

[@pattibrooks1907]

I love Golda Radner and her husband gene Wilder was a great actor too !

[@allys744]

They were so adorable together. It’s sad to hear about how little years they spent before Gilda died, but they were lucky to have been together. It’s also sad to hear that right before Gilda was diagnosed, she and Gene were trying to have kids, but she kept having miscarriages. I think they would’ve made great parents 💔💔

[@regalreviews4023]

Gilda would have been the best mom and anyone would have been lucky to have her as a mom

[@scyiaofficial6093]

Wow a well put together host, don't see much of them now days.

[@stevecook7551]

Gilda's death was a terrible loss to all , one can only imagine what could have been later in life.

[@monacaravetta]

I was in my 20s and cried like my sister died. She had and will always have a special place in my heart.

Gilda Susan Radner (Detroit, Míchigan, 28 de junio de 1946 - Los Ángeles, California, 20 de mayo de 1989), conocida como Gilda Radner, fue una comediante y actriz estadounidense de origen judío, recordada principalmente por sus cinco años como parte del reparto original de la serie de sketches estadounidense de la NBC Saturday Night Live.​ Radner utilizó su identidad judía como elemento esencial de su incisivo humor,​ y su muerte temprana, a los 42 años, por un cáncer de ovario, conmocionó a los Estados Unidos.

[@iamtaylored4u1]

Would someone please share the name of the host facilitating this interview? He is absolutely wonderful! He has so much class, so much poise, and so much respect for his guests. This interview was a complete joy to watch! Thank you for sharing this.

[@ReelinInTheYears66]

Brian Linehan from Canada and yes he’s incredible. We control the rights to thousands of hours of interviews he did with many legendary artists.

[@iamtaylored4u1]

@@ReelinInTheYears66 Thank you! Mr Linehan is a complete joy! He's so polished, professional and clearly knows his business. He's very pleasant and has such a calming and engaging personality and presence! I would watch any talk show he was hosting! The charm and charisma of the late great, Johnny Carson comes to mind.

It's no wonder, none of us have heard of the fella doing the interview. Challenging and rude, is the best way to greet your quest, or subject your audience to. Especially when it come to someone as loved as Gene Wilder!

Gene holding Gilda's hand, wonder if that was genuine.

[@Maimai-ef6fe]

12:37 Haha it's so funny he forgot to laugh

[@ghanasoul]

“Hanky Panky” was a major flop. That proves to me that Richard Pryor being in “Stir Crazy” was the true reason it was a major hit. Gene tried to do it without Pryor and the results were a disaster. I recently watched the film and i actually liked it. I guess audiences weren’t interested in seeing Gene without Richard. Gene never had a major hit again til the next Pryor team up 7 years later in “See No Evil, Hear No Evil”.
