Bill Murray on the last time he saw Gilda Radner

nicely done. thanks for posting

What a good read

Oh and

quote:

---

Always been curious of her and Bill's relationship.

Gilda never really settled down (although she kind of did with Gene Wilder - but even that was only her last 5 years) - she was connected to Martin Short back during the Toronto theater days. She met Belushi and the elder Murray actors doing National Lampoon's radio hour.

Recall that Murray was not an "original" - he backfilled Chevy when he went on to become a movie star. It's possible (though I've never seen confirmation) that Gilda and/or Belushi was his "in" to get onto SNL.

The pair were romantically linked during the Not Ready for Primetime Players era of SNL - but few details have ever been revealed - Gilda married GE Smith (yes - that GE Smith) in 1980 (ended in 1982) and Gene Wilder in 1984 (ended at her death in 1989).

Yes. There are rumors that Gilda and Bill ended badly, but no details are really known.

I am pretty sure Belushi was what got him into SNL. Since he got him into national lampoon.
