Gilda was an important comedic voice of my generation. It was about being funny without the crass language that rarely moves "the joke" forward. She used her intelligence and wit, and an unerring comedic sense that will gift sheer delight well into the future. Modern female comedians will know they have a fierce role models to learn from...Gilda was such a talent. Thanks for your talent and Jewess Jeans.
