Hilary Blackmore and Graham first met on the set of his 1990 movie Dances With Wolves, according to Tuko. The couple was married for almost 35 years. However, not much is known about Hilary Blackmore, as she kept her personal life private and away from the media.

In 2024, a Facebook group called Fans of Northern Exposure shared photos of Graham Greene at his daughter’s wedding, which gained attention on the internet. Fans loved seeing Greene in a suit, appreciating his look and him overall as an actor.

In a Reader’s Digest interview, he was asked what career he might have chosen if he hadn’t become an actor, to which Graham Greene replied:

"I’d probably be a welder. I started out as a carpenter, a welder, a draftsman, a carpet layer, a roadie and an audio tech. I stumbled into acting and I thought, These people keep me in the shade, give me food and water, take me over to where I say what I’m supposed to say, then they take me back. Wow—this is the life of a dog!"

Just like his wife, Greene was also fond of keeping his personal life private, rarely sharing details beyond his work. In another interview with Cowboys & Indians Magazine, Graham talked about his acting career, saying:

"I mean, it’s the only job I’ve ever had where I liked going to work. Sometimes it’s boring and miserable, but you still go back. You go to town, get your ass kicked, go home and let it heal up. And then you go back again."

Fans of Greene are paying their respects on social media, remembering him for his talent.
