Reviews
How refreshing to read about this gifted comedienne and not feel pity. Readers will become so engrossed in this account of the person who brought such memorable characters as Judy Miller, Rhonda Weiss, Baba Wawa, Candy Slice, Roseanne Roseannadana, and Lisa Loopner to life that Radner's sad and untimely death won't enter the picture. Radner is depicted as a fully rounded woman with all of the special qualities needed to possess comic genius. This is ideal as a point of reference and companion to Radner's autobiography, It's Always Something ( LJ 6/15/89). Recommended for public libraries.
