Ella Hunt stars in Kevin Costner's 'Horizon' and took on playing iconic 'SNL' alumna Gilda Radner in a new film, telling Fox News Digital about her process for both films.

'Horizon' star Ella Hunt spent time with two different icons in two different ways this year. The British actress stars in part one of Kevin Costner’s Western epic, in theaters now. But when she wasn’t working on that, she had to prepare for her role as Gilda Radner in 'SNL 1975.' 'I honestly just had a wonderful four months, sat at home with my cats watching funny videos of Gilda and trying to copy her, channel some of the spirit,' she told Fox News Digital.

Kaia Gerber plays Jacqueline Carlin, Chevy Chase’s ex-wife who occasionally made appearances on the series, and Cooper Hoffman, son of the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, plays NBC exec Dick Ebersol. Radner appeared on the first five seasons of 'SNL,' creating memorable characters like Roseanne Roseannadanna, Lisa Loopner, and Baba Wawa, a parody of Barbara Walters. The comedian died in 1989 at age 42 from ovarian cancer, with her second husband, Gene Wilder, by her side.

She continued, noting, 'Like women gave birth on the trail! And were taking care of small children and finding ways to cook with very limited supplies.' The 'Dickinson' star also worked closely with Costner on her character in the film series, which is set to have four parts.
