"We got married in 1984," Wilder said. "And she died in 1989. But she tried hard in those first three years. And then couldn't go. She was ... pain, operations. She kept thinking, "I'll get better after this one. Oh, I'll get better after this one. And then it didn't work." 。

The following year, given a sedative to undergo a CT scan at a Los Angeles hospital, Radner went into a coma and did not regain consciousness. She died on May 20, 1989, with Wilder at her side.。In the years that followed, Wilder became an advocate for cancer awareness and treatment, testifying before Congress. 。Gene Wilder testifies before a House Appropriations subcommittee on Capitol Hill concerning the death of his wife, Gilda Radner, on May 9, 1991.Credit: AP Photo/Ron Edmonds。To this day, Gilda's Club branches in New York City and all around the country provide support to cancer patients, survivors, and their families. 。Gene Wilder at the opening of Gilda's Club in the West Village in 1989.Credit: AP Photo/Marty Lederhandler 。
