The launch of Saturday Night Live gave rise to a fresh crop of talented comedians, but one person managed to uniquely charm audiences that tuned in every week. The comedy genius of Gilda Radner gave life to such unforgettable characters as Emily Litella and Roseanna Roseannadanna and became a pioneering force for women to connect to. With hilarious highs and tragic lows, Radner's incredible life story—including early days at Toronto's Second City—is told in her own words through newly discovered audio recordings, home movies, and diary entries read by performers she's inspired, including Melissa McCarthy, Amy Poehler and Maya Rudolph. Love, Gilda offers a unique window into the vulnerable and jubilant spirit of a beloved icon whose greatest role was sharing her story.
