The 1980 big-screen hit "Private Benjamin" not only made a lot of money, but also won a fair bit of critical and awards-season recognition -- not a common occurrence for films of the so-called screwball-comedy genre.

Sadly, she didn't get a whole lot of time to do much else, but Gilda Radner did branch out into a couple of movies after attaining TV-comedy fame.

She was a stage actor and member of the Second City comedy troupe before joining NBC's fledgling sketch-comedy series "Saturday Night Live" in 1975, along with such future comedy luminaries as Chevy Chase, John Belushi and Jane Curtin.

For the most part, longtime "Daily Show" correspondent Wyatt Cenac has gone back to standup comedy, but he does seem to be diversifying his resume a little.

He added a producer credit to his name with the shape-shifting indie film "An Oversimplification of Her Beauty," a blend of comedy and drama, live-action and animation that saw limited release this spring.
