• Ovarian Cancer
  Gilda’s Club was named for actor Gilda Radner, perhaps best known for her skits as nerd Lisa Loopner, Baba Wawa, and the Weekend Update’s Roseanne Roseannadana for Saturday Night Live where she was an original cast member from 1975 to 1980. The Detroit native married fellow actor Gene Wilder in 1984. The following year she experienced symptoms that were misdiagnosed for ten months until it was determined that she had stage four ovarian cancer. Radner died in 1989 of ovarian cancer, much like several relatives before her. As a result, Wilder helped to establish both the Gilda Radner  Hereditary Cancer Program and in 1991, Gilda’s Club.
