Kelly Le Brock was boarding a flight to Bermuda about four years ago when she ran into an old friend: Gene Wilder.
?I hadn?t seen Gene in a thousand years,? the 56-year-old actress said. She recalls her last encounter with Wilder, whom she starred with in The Woman in Red. I held his hand and told him how much I loved him," she said.
Over the past 30-years, Le Brock and Wilder have remained friends, visiting each other's homes and keeping in touch over the phone.
?He was very different off-screen,? Le Brock tells The Hollywood Reporter. ?He was the funny man on-screen but in reality, he wasn?t funny. He was very quiet and kind of shy. He?d get very demonstrative telling a story ? that?s when you?d see him come alive."
