A Roomful of Gene Wilder and Gilda Radner Memories

Mandy Patinkin, Allan Zweibel and others convened at Gilda's Club New York City.

Founded in 1991 and opened in 1995, Gilda’s Club New York City was the site Friday of a intimate celebration of Gene Wilder’s life.

Among those sharing memories of Wilder and his second wife Gilda Radner were actor Mandy Patinkin, who first met Radner when he shot a TV commercial in Canada at age 17, and Allan Zweibel, who wrote for her on Saturday Night Live. From a report by The Daily Beast’s Tim Teeman:

One day Patinkin put on his dressing room door an the Helen Hayes Theatre on Broadway a quote of Radner’s, or so he believed: “Enjoy the delicious ambiguity of life.”
