- Gilda Radner: It's Always Something.
- ABC's new Gilda Radner biopic is a mixed bag.
- Just a few months before Gilda Radner died in May of 1989, she released It's Always Something, a book about her struggle with ovarian cancer. ... Every thought Radner had, from her need for attention and control to her drive to find something funny about having cancer, was laid bare like an exposed nerve. ...
- That's what Gilda Radner: It's Always Something aims to live up to. The ABC biopic about Radner draws heavily on her book, sometimes lifting whole scenes and dialogue straight from the page. To keep Radner as the first-person narrator, she is shown reading her book for the book on tape version, a task she completed just three weeks before she died. It's a conceit that allows many of Radner's daydreams and abstract musings to come to life, like the parable about a woman running from tigers in the opening scene. ...
- To combat this, Radner's life is ordered chronologically in the movie once she starts her flashbacks. ... Radner relates her childhood to a hippy therapist during her SNL days. The flashback within a flashback is a bit distracting, but effective nonetheless at cramming in a few more anecdotes and a few more of Radner's tics and quirks from the book.
- Jami Gertz does a good job of balancing Radner's charming child-like qualities with her more neurotic tendencies, communicating a fairly accurate portrayal of the Radner in her book. ... Tom Rooney is effective as Gene Wilder, Radner's second husband and soulmate.
- Still, most of the characters the general public associates with Gilda Radner are only bit players in the book, and largely function as background here. The movie does add a bit more of Radner's history, recreating specific scenes and characters from Radner's time at Second City in Toronto and her run on SNL. ... The recreations are capable and true to spirit, but most will want to go back to old tapes of the first few seasons of Saturday Night Live to get the true sense of the spark that made Radner's characters special.

- In the biopic, Gilda (Jami Gertz) tells her own story, beginning with her childhood as a chubby girl who loved to perform for her adoring dad and doting nanny. ... Lorne Michaels signed Gilda first, then eventually brought all four of them to New York where they became the wildly popular Not Ready for Primetime Players on Saturday Night Live. The telefilm captures how Gilda helped make SNL a cultural phenomenon with her irrepressible and unforgettable characters, including Roseanne Rosannadanna, Lisa Loopner, Baba Wawa and Emily Litella. ...
- The movie details Gilda's lifelong quest to find true love. ... They had a few glorious years together before Gilda became ill with ovarian cancer, but with Gene's unflagging support and the help of therapist Joanna Bull, Gilda found ways to revel in humor and hope despite her illness. ...
- Gilda's legacy continues today with Gilda's Club (founded in 1991), a network of centers across the country where people living with cancer, and their families and friends, come together for emotional and social support.

- Rating: - Gilda: Unlike Any Other.
- GILDA RADNER: LIVE FROM NEW YORK extracts portions of her 1980 stage show, a program in which Radner drew heavily upon the characters she had first created for Saturday Night Live--but this was no rerun; the material was new and the characters were as fresh as they were when they debuted. There's Candy Slice, Radner's wickedly funny take-off on Patti Smith, Priestess of Punk; the sinus-afflicted teenager Lisa Loopner, who becomes overwrought during a piano recital; the slightly deaf and eternally confused Emily Litella, who suddenly finds herself working as a substitute teacher in a most unpleasant school; and Roseanne Roseannadanna, an aggressively obnoxious news commentator, delivering a commencement speech at (of all places) Columbia University.
- All of these sketches have their charms, but to my mind the best selections from this recording are those in which Gilda Radner is just Gilda Radner, completely unencumbered by the necessity of creating an alter-ego. ...
- Sadly, Radner never really had time to find the post-Saturday Night Fame which surely would have been hers: a few minor roles in minor films, a few television appearances, and suddenly it was over. ...
- I remember purchasing this album when it came out in 1979, right after Gilda Radner's one-woman show had premiered on Broadway. ... ) Also priceless is Radner's number as Rhonda Weiss - the stereotypical Brooklyn Jew/songstress. ...

A year later, Radner joined Toronto's famed Second City comedy club, and in 1974 she left for New York City, joining Second City alumni John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd on the National Lampoon Radio Hour, and then in Mel Brooks' feature comedy, Blazing Saddles. Finding success easier to come by, Radner was asked to join a new sketch-comedy TV show, Saturday Night Live, and would become the first name signed to the now long-running series that launched names like Belushi, Aykroyd, Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy. Radner received three Emmy nominations for Outstanding Performance by a Supporting Actress during her stint on the show, and won the award in 1978.
- At the height of her fame, and with a stage show (Gilda Radner: Live From New York) and a feature film (Gilda Live) under her belt, Radner joined forces with Gene Wilder to create numerous films together; Hanky Panky, The Woman in Red, and Haunted Honeymoon. They would fall in love and marry, but following production on Haunted Honeymoon, Radner showed severe flu-like symptoms that were later diagnosed as ovarian cancer. ...
