About the Project
A musical biography of America’s sweetheart of comedy, Gilda Radner…her loves, life and brave battle with cancer, told through song and Gilda’s own words. Created and performed by popular Palm Springs-based cabaret singer, Francesca Amari, who has toured the country with this show and performed at some of the top clubs from NY to L.A., including The Gardenia, Rockwell and Vitello’s in L.A., Martini’s Above 4th in San Diego and The Purple Room in Palm Springs.
Gilda Susan Radner (1946 – 1989) was an American comedian and actress who was one of the seven original cast members for the NBC sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live (SNL). In her routines, Radner specialized in parodies of television stereotypes, such as advice specialists and news anchors, and in 1977, she won an Emmy Award for her performances on the show. She also portrayed those characters in her highly successful one-woman show on Broadway in 1979. Radner’s SNL work established her as an iconic figure in the history of American comedy. She died from ovarian cancer in 1989.
