It is shown, using the Borwein–Preiss variational principle that for every continuous convex function $f$ on a weakly compactly generated space $X$, every ${{x}_{0}}\in X$ and every weakly compact convex symmetric set $K$ such that $\overline{\text{span}}K=X$, there is a point of Gâteaux differentiability of $f$ in ${{x}_{0}}+K$. This extends a Klee's result for separable spaces.
