My Take
Just seeing Gilda Radner's name warms me up a little. A Detroit native and one of the original seven cast members of Saturday Night Live, she helped lay the comedic foundation of an institution in just five years from 1975. She won an Emmy and a Grammy and earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, yet she was gone far too soon, dying at 42 in 1989. Comedy is one of the hardest, loneliest crafts, and she poured everything into making people laugh. To me she remains proof that brevity and brilliance can share a life, and I hold her in lasting esteem.
