He was 83.Boyer remembered the first time she became aware Wilder was struggling with his memory when he couldn’t remember the title of “Young Frankenstein,” which she said was “his favorite movie.”“He never really accepted that he had Alzheimers, and maybe by the time we found out that’s what it was, his hippocampus didn’t let him remember,” she said in the film. “So I’m not sure that he ever knew.
When I’d see him slip away further from me, I was sick to my stomach, but I had to keep smiling and tell him that everything was okay.” Boyer added, “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.”Wilder was married four times.
