Gilda Radner


I picked up Gilda Radner's memoir expecting to get more than a few laughs and some inspiration from a lady whose courage on screen set the stage for most of the funny ladies we all admire today.  Gilda's comedic courage was nothing compared to the bravery she showed by even writing this book about her fight with cancer. The memoir was absolutely not what I expected and speaks very little about her career - but my perspective on this woman has forever changed.  She has given a new definition to quite a few words for me, not the least of which is bravery.
