9. I believe it's spelled "Taaaawd", actually...
But I totally agree that "Lisa Loopner" was her best character ever.

But this is a forgotten (not on DVD) masterpiece: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SVmQMPaLMQ">Lets Talk Dirty To The Animals.

In 1979, Radner appeared on Broadway in a successful one-woman show entitled Gilda Radner - Live From New York. The show featured racier material, such as the song Let's Talk Dirty to the Animals. In 1981, the show was filmed as Gilda Live!, co-starring Paul Shaffer and Don Novello, and was released as a film and an album recording.

3. I know it well.
I used to have it on VHS - must find it on DVD. (I refuse to go to Blue Ray until they promise me it's the last thing they're gonna invent.)

4. Emily ...

To this day I unconsciously mimic her voice (as well as a male with deep bass voice can) when saying "never mind ..."

8. Loved her as the little girl (Brownie) spazzing out in her bedroom.
Reminded me of kids in our family who did exactly the same thing!

13. Emily Litella was a real person.
Gilda called her once when she was on David Letterman. The real Emily sounded exactly like Gilda's impression of her.
