In the message accompanied with the photo, Sadler said Bakst died on Wednesday after a two year battle with cancer.
He wrote: “After what has been an amazing forty five years of marriage I don’t think I can fathom or put into words much of this yet.”
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.”
