It's Always Something by Gilda Radner; Abridged MP3 Audio Book; Narrator Gilda Radner

"I started out to write a book called A Portrait of the Artist as a Housewife. I wanted to write a collection of stories, poems and vignettes about things like my toaster oven and my relationships with plumbers, mailmen and delivery people. But life dealt me a much more complicated story…"

Gilda Radner died on May 20, 1989, shortly before publication of her book It's Always Something. A month before her death, Gilda entered a Los Angeles recording studio to deliver what would be her final performance—this remarkable audio autobiography, in which she reveals the inspirational story of her struggles with cancer…a private, personal battle in which the humor and humanity that has touched millions became her most powerful weapon.
