Last year I was re-watching the movie "The Last Detail" with Jack Nicholson, and they have a scene where they pass a building in which had a bunch of people doing chanting (A very early Seventies thing) and when they went inside, one of the chanting people caught my eye, and I thought "That's...thats...that's Gilda Radner!
I love watching movies and seeing someone just pop up. I was watching the movie "No Time For Sergeants", and they were flying in a B-25. I saw the co-pilot, and thought "That's...thats...that's Corporal Klinger from M.A.S.H.! (Jaimie Farr)
I loved Gilda Radner. Her whole thing with "Judy Miller" on SNL just makes me grin thinking of it...this sketch...just brilliant!

One of her first TV appearances, in 1965 with Ed McMahon in a
Citgo commercial when they changed their name from Cities Service. That brand new 65 Impala convertible was like the one my uncle bought.

My old BF looked and sounded like Hugh Downs, and my name is Barbara. We had a lot of fun with that.
Hail and farewell, BaBa. You had a good (if stupid) run.

That may get you married, but will it keep you married? Walters was married four times.

her and Larry King and omprah I throw into the same pot.....they were given their slots and propelled up because they played the game....
anybody could replace them....anybody....infact, most would do better....
but they were the "in" crowd and could never be dethroned.....

Her leaving it made it a better place.

Was she a reporter or a narrator? What big story did she break? Did she just interview people and help those on the left get their message across, and put barriers in place to hinder those on the right getting their message across? She was on TV a lot during a time when there were limited choices. In today’s celebrity worship culture, I guess that is important.

To: alternatives?
She did news coverage but her main job was as you say, an interviewer. She got the ‘big fish.’ I think it was in many ways a status thing... powerful men and women were more likely to accept an interview with her because it connoted that they were ‘somebody.’
