Pretty much retired from acting, he has turned his attention to writing (his latest book, Something to Remember You By: A Perilious Romance, is slated to be released on April 9th, 2013) and lives in Stamford, Connecticut with his wife, Karen.
He, his wife Karen, and their two dogs live in a colonial house (which he has affectionately referred to as a "palace") in Stamford, Connecticut. It was willed to Gene by his third wife, Gilda Radner, upon her death from ovarian cancer in 1989.

Gene Wilder was born June 11, 1933. He was 38 years-old in 1971. If what you're asking is how old he was during the filming of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, however, this is not correct. He was actually 37 at that time, as Willy Wonkafilmed in the fall of 1970.
my wife is a Wilder her grandfather said that if you are Jewish and a Wilder you may well be related to other Jewish Wilders. My wife has Billy Wilder mentioned in her family tree as being related.
