Bunny Bunny

When the comedienne, Gilda Radner, of Saturday Night Live fame, died of ovarian cancer in 1989, comedy writer Alan Zweibel, felt the deep loss of a friend, companion, and soul mate. Now, Zweibel has written a play based on his friendship with Radner called, "Bunny Bunny - Gilda Radner: A Sort of Romantic Comedy." Daniel talks with Zweibel about Radner and the play he wrote in her memory. "Bunny Bunny" opens at the Lucille Lortel Theatre in New York City on Sunday.
