Dear Gilda Goldman,

Tonight I saw a production of Ragtime in which the woman playing Emma Goldman looked exactly like Gilda Radner.  It was incredible.  Sadly, the friend I was with didn't know Radner and couldn't appreciate the similarities.  Because it was so good.  But also strange, because I kept thinking, "I like both Gilda and Goodman, but I can't help but feel that they don't quite fit together, it's not a perfect pair."  I kept waiting for this after one of Goldman's fiery speeches:

Which, we can all agree, would be horribly wrong.  You don't end a rally to strike with "Never mind."
Gilda Radner
Emma Goldman
  Not sure that it proves anything...


love,
hannah
