Nearly 30 years after her death at the age of 42, she remains a comedy icon and an inspiration to [the cancer support community]( that bears her name. Filmmaker Lisa D'Apolito's fascination with the late star took her on a four-year journey into her life and legacy. The result is "Love, Gilda," the new documentary from CNN films that opened this year's Tribeca Film Festival and is slated next for a theatrical run. As a female performer holding her own against the likes of John Belushi, Dan Ackroyd and Bill Murray, D'Apolito told Salon’s Mary Elizabeth Williams on "Salon Talks" that "the great thing about Gilda is that she felt she was equal to the guys.” D'Apolito continued, “I think the guys really respected her. When she was in situations where it wasn't really working out for her, she was so astute being able to turn the situation around." Although Radner's life had an untimely end, D'Apolito said, "I always wanted to portray the Gilda who's out there. She had long periods of remission where she just lived her life, but it was not an easy road for her. But up until three weeks before she died, she felt really positive about everything. Gilda touched so many people." Watch the video above to see D'Apolito reveal what the late Gene Wilder told her about his wife, and who was the only member of the ["Ghostbusters"]( cast Radner didn't date.

[Molly Ringwald]( “Sixteen Candles,” “Pretty in Pink,” and “The Breakfast Club” are some of the most iconic films of the 1980s and they all star, actor Molly Ringwald, who joined “Salon Talks” to discuss the premiere of her new film “All These Small Moments” at the Tribeca Film Festival. Ringwald plays the mother of two teenage boys who’s trying to keep the peace at home while dealing with a troubled marriage in this dramatic comedy about first love, divorce and adolescence. Ringwald shares lessons from her tremendous career in Hollywood, including looking back on her roles in John Hughes’ films through the lense of today’s #MeToo movement. Ringwald commented on her April 2018 essay for [“The New Yorker”]( , in which she revisits “The Breakfast Club” in the midst of the #MeToo movement. “The films that I made with John Hughes are still incredibly popular. They’re still watched a lot, they’re still watched in schools,” Ringwald told Salon. “I’m not renouncing the films. I’m sort of discussing what feels problematic for me as a woman and as a mother.” Watch the video above to hear more about Ringwald’s thoughts on the #MeToo movement, as well as how she got into character for her latest role in “All These Small Moments.” Tune in for SalonTV's live shows, ["Salon Talks"]( and ["Salon Stage",]( daily at noon ET / 9 a.m. PT and 4 p.m. ET / 1 p.m. PT, streaming live on [Salon,]( [Facebook]( and [Periscope.]( . --------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------- [Was MSNBC host Joy Reid’s blog hacked?]( MSNBC host Joy-Ann Reid claims her blog was “compromised” after alleged anti-gay posts surface Rachel Leah --------------------------------------------------------------- [Trump: Cohen “represented me” on Daniels]( President Donald Trump on Michael Cohen: “With this crazy Stormy Daniels deal, he represented me” Matthew Rozsa --------------------------------------------------------------- [A cost-effective alternative to Roomba.]( This robotic vacuum keeps your home clean while you’re away Salon Marketplace --------------------------------------------------------------- [“I am powerful by just living”]( Trans rights activist Sarah McBride: “I am powerful by just living” Lauren Schiller --------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------- [Salon Stage: William Bell]( Soul singer William Bell won a Grammy for his 2016 album, “This is Where I Live,” which is his first major label album in over 30 years.
