About Gilda’s Club
Gilda’s Club is a place where men, women and children whose lives have been impacted by cancer, as well as their families and friends, can feel they are part of a welcoming community of support.
Gilda Radner, was one of the original cast members of ?Saturday Night Live.? Throughout her time on the show, she created a number of enduring characters, including Roseanne Roseannadanna, Emily Litella and Lisa Loopner. Laughter and love were central themes of Gilda?s career and life, including in her marriage to actor and comedian Gene Wilder, the original Willy Wonka.
Gilda was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 1985. She said that having cancer gave her membership in an elite club she?d rather not belong to. She passed away in 1989, but her legacy lived on when her husband and friends established Gilda?s Club and the first red door opened in New York City.
