Gilda Radner did several films, some with her husband, Gene Wilder. Sadly, she passed away in 1989.
Jane Curtain was a cast member of the shows Kate And Allie and later Third Rock From The Sun.
Loraine Newman had small, supporting roles in a number of movies through the 90s, including playing the aunt of Connie Conehead in The Coneheads. About that time, she started finding work as a voice actor, but as far as appearing in front of the camera, like her other post-SNL work, was always minor characters. She also does writing.

No problem. I was wondering about Loraine Newman's lack of visibility, but I did some looking.
Yeah, I was already legally an adult when SNL debuted. Saw the first episode even. I think that lead to the disappearance of the Candygram. Long time SNL viewers will get that.

I went through the cast since I've been an adult and there are a ton of names I recognize.
Still interesting how big the guys got and still are. Probably a result of the times where now people like Fey and Poehler can be huge
