Description

Gilda Susan Radner (June 28, 1946 – May 20, 1989) was an American comedian and actress. She was best remembered as an original cast member of the NBC sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live. In her routines, Radner specialized in broad and obnoxious parodies of television stereotypes such as annoying advice specialists and news anchors. She also portrayed those characters in her successful one-woman show on Broadway in 1979. When Radner died from ovarian cancer in 1989, her legacy from SNL established her as an important figure in the history of American comedy, and her widower, Gene Wilder, carried out her personal wish that information about her illness could help others.
