kyburgOn the recent passing of Gene Wilder - with regard to appropriate respect for his widow Karen Boyer, instead of Gilda Radner.
*points to three last names* I got a dog in this fight. Did you even know he’d married again after Gilda passed? Neither did I.
Was none of my business.
People knew about Gilda. Nobody knew about Karen, and that’s okay because nobody knew about either of the wives named Mary who had come before Gilda (talk about having faith in finding love, wow Gene).
It’s the judge not, lest ye be judged moment.
You didn’t know because it wasn’t yours to know. Gilda had a public face, a fiction built to tell her story across billions of people. So did Gene Wilder. It’s understandable if folks mention Gilda, that’s all they know - AS IT SHOULD BE.
Stand down. No, really. Nobody is being a dick when they express relief that they’re together again because they didn’t check Wikipedia first. And that’s all that is.
