Graham Greene and his wife, Hilary Blackmore, were just months away from celebrating their 35th wedding anniversary when tragedy struck. On September 1, 2025, the *Dances With Wolves* star passed away at the age of 73 after a long battle with declining health. His final moments were spent with Hilary by his side in a Toronto hospital, where his representative said he was “finally free.”
Greene, a Canadian actor celebrated for roles in *Dances With Wolves* and *The Green Mile*, shared a remarkable life with Hilary. The couple married on December 20, 1990, after meeting during a Toronto theater production the year before. They exchanged vows in the Black Hills of South Dakota, near the *Dances With Wolves* filming location, and later registered their marriage in Toronto.
Despite his Hollywood success and even an Oscar nomination, Greene chose a quieter life in Canada. He and Hilary settled in Udora, north of Toronto, where they built a warm log home and filled it with rescue cats. Greene enjoyed golf, writing, and building boats, while Hilary created her own sanctuary in the loft filled with books and films. Their only ongoing disagreement? How to decorate the family’s 16-foot Christmas tree.
Greene’s humor, warmth, and loyalty made their marriage stand out in an industry not known for stability. Hilary once admitted she hadn’t realized how strong his decorating opinions were, but their small quarrels only underscored their deep bond.
Married for nearly 35 years, they built a life of love, laughter, and mutual respect. Graham Greene is survived by Hilary, his daughter Lilly, and grandson Tarlo. His legacy as both an actor and devoted husband will never be forgotten.
