Comedian Gilda Radner was one of the original cast members of the comedy show Saturday Night Live. She was one of the show's key stars from 1975-1980, creating characters like the goofy and over-talkative Roseanne Roseannadana and the crotchety and half-deaf news commentator Emily Litella.

Radner later had a one-woman Broadway show -- Gilda Radner, Live From New York -- in 1979.  Radner died of ovarian cancer in 1989, and her name continues to be associated with research and support groups for the disease. She published an autobiography, It's Always Something, in 1989.
