GILDA RADNER Cut-Out Doll Book, 1979













The GILDA RADNER Cut-Out Doll Book, 1979, Above Average Productions Inc., Avon Books. When I think of Gilda Radner I of course think of Saturday Night Live. She was a very funny woman. I also think of her struggle with ovarian cancer, a battle she eventually lost. My mom also went through that battle with ovarian cancer, a battle she won.
