To honor the twentieth anniversary of beloved comedienne Gilda
Radner's death from ovarian cancer comes a commemo- rative edition
of her memoir, "It's Always Something"--featuring a newly updated
resource guide for people living with cancer and a tribute by
Radner's former colleagues at "Saturday Night Live."
As a cast member on the original "Saturday Night Live," Gilda
Radner created a compelling character named "Roseann Rosannadanna"
who habitually ended her routine with the line, "It's always
something," which was her father's favorite expression about life.
Radner chose the catch- phrase she made famous as the title to her
brave, funny, and painfully honest memoir: the story of her
struggle against cancer and her determination to continue laughing.
Gilda's Club, a network of affiliate clubhouses that seeks to
provide a social and emotional support community to people living
with cancer, was founded in Radner's memory in 1991. The name of
the organization comes from a remark Gilda once made, that cancer
gave her "membership to an elite club I'd rather not belong to." In
partnership with Gilda's Club, "It's Always" "Something "includes
valuable information for all whose lives have" "been touched by
cancer and reminds us of the important place laughter has in
healing.
Told as only Gilda Radner could tell it, "It's Always Something" is
the inspiring story of a courageous, funny woman fighting to enjoy
life no matter what the circumstances. She died in 1989. Gilda's
Club is distinguished by its unique philosophy and pro- gram,
"cancer support for the whole family, the whole time." Learn more
