RIP Phyllis Diller

[Dback Jon]

Legendary comedienne Phyllis Diller, who blazed a trail for a generation of female comics with her bawdy, self-deprecating stand-up routines, has died at age 95, according to TMZ. (The Associated Press and The Hollywood Reporter have since confirmed.)

Diller had been suffering health problems as of late: She recently hurt her hip and wrist in a fall and has been living under hospice care at her home. She passed away there, surrounded by family.

I so loved to watch her when I was a kid

R.I.P - I'm sure I've seen her in several things but one that stands out to me was "Boy, Did I Get a Wrong Number". It was a typical Bob Hope movie but I was more entertained by Diller's humor and Elke Sommer's beauty. I'm sure I'd hate the movie if I watched it today but for a boy approaching his teen years it was a lot of fun.

She also did a Vietnam USO tour with him.

RIP Phyllis. You paved the way for a lot of women in the business. And the cigarette holder was perfect.

Was not a fan at all. But certainly a legend. RIP
