== Personal life == [[File:Gene Wilder - Gilda Radner.jpg|thumb|right|Radner with Gene Wilder in 1986]] After breaking up with Jeffrey Rubinoff, Radner had an on-again-off-again relationship with [[Martin Short]] while both were appearing in ''Godspell''. Radner had romantic involvements with several ''Saturday Night Live'' castmates, including [[Bill Murray]] (after a previous romance with his brother [[Brian Doyle-Murray]]) and [[Dan Aykroyd]]. Radner's friend Judy Levy recounted Radner saying she found ''[[Ghostbusters]]'' hard to watch since the cast included so many of her ex-boyfriends: Aykroyd, Murray, and [[Harold Ramis]].<ref>{{cite AV media | people=D'Apolito, Lisa (Director) | date=2018 | title=Love, Gilda }}</ref> Radner was married to musician [[G. E. Smith]] from 1980 to 1982; they met while working on her Broadway show.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://gesmithmusic.com/about/|title=Bio|date=May 13, 2010}}</ref> The two lived in [[The Dakota]] building in [[Manhattan]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Radner |first=Gilda |title=It's Always Something |publisher=Simon and Schuster |year=1989 |isbn=9780671638689 |edition= |pages=121 |language=en}}</ref> After the [[Murder of John Lennon|shooting]] of [[John Lennon]] in 1980 and the death of [[John Belushi]] in 1982, Radner moved to [[Stamford, Connecticut]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Saltman |first=David |title=Gilda: An Intimate Portrait |publisher=Contemporary Books |year=1992 |isbn=0809241021 |location=Chicago, Ill. |pages=208 |language=en}}</ref> Radner met actor [[Gene Wilder]] on the set of ''[[Hanky Panky (1982 film)|Hanky Panky]]'', when the two worked together on the production of the film. She described their first meeting as "[[love at first sight]]".<ref name="something"/> After she met Wilder, her marriage to Smith deteriorated. Radner made a second film with Wilder, ''[[The Woman in Red (1984 film)|The Woman in Red]]'' (released in 1984), and their relationship deepened. The two were married on September 18, 1984, in [[Saint-Tropez]].<ref name="something"/> They made a third film together, ''[[Haunted Honeymoon]]'', in 1986<ref name="something"/> and remained married until her death in 1989. She discovered that she was pregnant during the filming of ''Haunted Honeymoon'', but miscarried early in the pregnancy. Details of Radner's eating disorder were reported in a book about ''Saturday Night Live'' by Doug Hill and Jeff Weingrad,<ref name="history" /> which was published and received much media coverage during a period when Radner was consulting various doctors in Los Angeles about symptoms of an illness she was suffering that turned out to be cancer.
