SHAWSHANK Redemption star William Sadler has announced the death of his wife Marni Joan Bakst after 46 years of marriage.

Sadler and Bakst welcomed a daughter together during their marriage called Sadler Colley Bakst, 38. Sadler added on Facebook: "Early yesterday morning, my wife, Marni Bakst, finally lost her two year battle with cancer. "Maybe with time and a little distance I’ll find it easier to describe this extraordinary artist, feminist, wife, and mother, but for now I want to thank you all for your patience and kind words.".

Sadler previously posted the same picture in a heartwarming tribute to his wife on their anniversary last year. He wrote alongside the photo last May: "This picture was taken the morning of our wedding, exactly forty five years ago today. "The extraordinary looking young woman with the huge eyes is Ms. Marni Bakst. The lucky young man is me.
