What’s in a Name

I remember Gilda Radner.

Not because I knew her personally. Not even because I knew her from TV. Though I have a distinct memory of watching the news the night she died. They showed footage of Gilda’s rendition of “The Way We Were.” I was eleven years old and I turned to my mom: “She’s actually not that good.”

“That’s Gilda Radner,” my mom told

Great post, and I'm 26 and know who Gilda Radner is. I love her and actually own her SNL Best Of DVD.

She was one of a kind!
