Filmmaker Lisa D’Apolito used never before seen archives to give 'Love, Gilda' its touching and visceral power
Director of ‘Love, Gilda’ Lisa D’Apolito worked non-stop for four years to create an authentic and heartwarming documentary about one of the funniest women in Hollywood.
Gilda Radner, one of the most legendary performers of all time, died tragically at the young age of 42 years from ovarian cancer. Despite being one of the first females at the forefront of the comedy boom triggered around Saturday Night Live, shockingly, there haven’t been any real and thorough retellings of Radner’s story until now.
In a kismet turn of events, filmmaker Lisa D’Apolito was the one to tell Radner’s story in Documentary 'Love, Gilda,' and MEAWW spoke with her exclusively to learn how she was able to put this moving film together.
