Revision as of 12:29, 29 November 2017

First edition hardcover.

It's Always Something is a biography of Gilda Radner, published in 1989. While it some of Radner's childhood and marriage to Gene Wilder, the majority of the book focuses on her discovery and treatment of ovarian cancer.

I first encountered this book shortly after the audio book was released around 1990. My mother rented it on cassette and I listened to portions of it in the car with her. Many years later, my friend Jackie was going to sell her copy to a used book store, but I took it before she could.

Status

I own a first edition hardcover.

Review

Good

  • The book is well-written and interesting.

Bad

  • I would have liked to have read more about Radner's earlier life, including her childhood and first marriage, or her early Second City and SNL career, but those moments in her life are only glossed over.

Ugly

  • Nothing.
