Later her mother, Mary, started dating actor Gene which resulted in marriage, and that is how young Katherine found a new home and new father. The couple tied the knot on October 27, 1967, and Wilder adopted Katherine that same year.

Divorce and Aftermath

Despite being loved, Katherine’s mother, Mary, doubted Gene, and hence their marriage started to crumble. Moreover, Mary thought Wilder was having an affair with another actress, Madeline Kahn. 

Sadly, the couple parted ways in 1980. Not only did the divorce parted the couple, but it also severed the strong bond that Wilder had with his daughter, Katherine. As a result, Katherine stopped communicating with her father, and the two never reconciled.

Unfortunately, this never happened. According to the source, the actor died at the age of 83 in August 2016 without ever seeing his daughter again. At the time of his demise, Wilder was listening to one of his favorite songs, ‘Over the Rainbow’ by Ella Fitzgerald.
