Wilder, who died Sunday at 83, wrote, directed and starred in "The World's Greatest Lover," about a baker (Wilder) and his wife (Kane) who move to Hollywood during the silent film era to enter a talent search for someone who might compete with Rudolph Valentino. Kane would stay in touch with Wilder on and off over the years, and she loved seeing the friendship of Wilder, Mel Brooks and Dom DeLuise (who also starred in "The World's Greatest Lover" as the studio mogul). Wilder and Kane reunited in 2001 to perform in three classic one-act farces at the Westport Country Playhouse, but she'll always remember the great significance of that phone call more than 40 years ago.
