Phyllis Diller Dies...

Ahhh Cool Breeze!

As a kid I would sit with my grandmother watching her on the ole B/W tv set. Sad loss to the comedy genre. What a crazy laugh too...

I'm not big on comedy, but from what I remember (and correct me if I'm wrong), she was from St. Louis, MO. It surely had to happen a really long time ago (before they started keeping records, probably!)...Seriously, she was a very funny lady, and like the true original comic greats, she will of course be greatly missed. It just seems that the originators, like in music, are going fast. I see them (the Jonathan Winterses, the George Carlins, to name a younger early great of the television era) as innovating the craft, with all those coming after (myself included, in music) riding in on their coattails.
 
A lot of women comedians owe her big time. :yes:
I almost bought this last week...

RIP, Phyllis Diller
 
Phyllis was never dirty, never mean-except to herself & Fang-& she was out there, by herself, when no other women were...RIP, Ms Driver...You'll be missed...

Hey Teach,

We were watching her too on a B/W set. Had to go to Nana & Bumpa's house to see color tv.:D
 
The lady of a thousand wigs. The original Mrs. Robinson was a staple in her act.
A very funny lady. Rest in Peace. Here's a couple more images from Google.

I blogged about her death (http://mindseyemusic.blogspot.com) here. She once starred in a production of The Wizard Of Oz in St. Louis.

She wasn't bad looking at all, when she was younger. I only remember seeing her on TV, where she purposely made herself look, umm, different, so somehow it never occured to me, that she might be good-looking. :scratch2: ;) R.I.P. Phyllis.
 
I knew either Phyllis Diller, Jerry Lewis or Mickey Rooney were going to go before Labor Day. I saw her Bio. She traveled around the Country doing standup while her husband stayed at home.
 
Loved her when I was a kid in the 70's we would watch her and crack up. I remember a joke about Burt Reynolds, another fave of the family. It went something like.
"Burt Reynold once asked me out, I was in his room." :)
RIP Funny Lady condolences to her family saw her not that long ago on tv, she has 6 children.
 
A very funny lady. I remember her being on those Bob Hope specials. Not to mention her last movie was the Pixar film A Bugs Life. She will be missed.
