Just past midnight on the evening of November 8, 1975, Gilda Radner, star of a new show called Saturday Night, and actress Candice Bergen sat together onstage for a televised conversation about the Equal Rights Amendment. The proposed constitutional amendment had passed Congress and was now subject to ratification by the states, and Bergen said she happily voted for it.
Radner, however, said she didn’t vote because she was too busy working. And she said she had concerns that the ERA would allow men to use women’s restrooms.
