Description: These are 2 rare promotional DVDs. The 1st DVD is the movie “It’s Always Something.” The DVD is sealed. Life gave her a million reasons to laugh... and one reason to cry. The story of comedienne Gilda Radner, based on her autobiography. Covered are her years as part of the original cast of "Saturday Night Live" (1975) , her marriage to actor/director Gene Wilder and her battle with ovarian cancer, to which she succumbed in 1989. Excellent! What an excellent movie. For once, it's not self-pitying and depressing (though, of course, the subject matter is very sad), but it celebrates Gilda and how she chose to deal with her terminal illness with laughter. Jami Gertz did a phenomenal job in the title role, and I never realized before that she does bear quite a likeness to Gilda. Her love and marriage with Gene Wilder is also handled well, and I can't help but wonder what the real Gene Wilder thinks of the film. The movie had me in tears. I recommend it. Jami Gertz .... Gilda Radner and Tom Rooney .... Gene Wilder The 2nd DVD is an autobiography/documentary on Gilda Radner. The DVD runs 120 minutes. The DVD is from some kind of production-editing session so it has commercils that run through it (program is actually 90 minutes). The DVD is stamped with basic information and comes in a plain, unsealed jewel case. There is no cover or artwork inside the case. The quality is very good. Gilda Susan Radner (June 28, 1946 – May 20, 1989) was an American comedian, actress, and one of seven original cast members 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. Radner died from ovarian cancer in 1989, and her life and legacy from SNL established her as an iconic figure in the history of American comedy. Her widower, Gene Wilder, carried out her personal wish that information about her illness would help other cancer victims Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE
