Love, Gilda is a uniquely personal portrait of Saturday Night Live’s first female superstar, Gilda Radner – but more than that, it captures her vivacious spirit, which defined her comedic genius and carried her through success and through illness. Interviews with friends (Chevy Chase, Lorne Michaels, Laraine Newman, Paul Shaffer and Martin Short) combine with newly discovered audiotapes, home movies, and diaries read by modern admirers (Bill Hader, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph and Cecily Strong) to tell Gilda’s story in her own words. Director Lisa D’Apolito worked with the Radner Estate to compile the rare, never-before-seen materials which help give this documentary an almost autobiographical feel.
