She was hilarious . . . brutally funny, and never (to my knowledge, and to her credit) apologized to anyone for "offending." Thanks for all the laughs.

that's too bad, but i figured it was coming when they said they'd moved her to a private room and were keeping her comfortable.
back with edgar now? if one believes in that...

RIP Joan...you were one of the best and will live on in all our memories. Biting humor and quick witted, and how she would laugh at herself while laying out a line would crack me up the most. Rest in Peace......

She always owned the fact that she lead the world in plastic surgeries, nobody told more jokes about her, than she did you have to love and respect that! Very funny lady, stellar career. RIP

While her comedy is what we'll all remember, she turned in several excellent dramatic performances as a young actress. If you've never seen the film adaptation of John Cheever's 'The Swimmer', her passing provides a good occasion to seek it out. While it's completely Burt Lancaster's vehicle, Rivers' moments in the devastating story are memorable..

"“Do you want to hear something awful?” Joan asks. “When Edgar had just killed himself, I couldn't get work and they were looking for someone for Broadway Bound. Neil Simon said ‘don't bring her in.' But I came in on my own money, read for it and they gave the part to me right on the spot. That turned my life around. From that, I got my talk show and on and on. My whole life I said “'Neil Simon changed my life.' But when I saw him again years later he said, ‘You were a Kate?'” There are comedians who have a real talent for sounding like they're just rambling through this and that until they land on a punchline, but in fact every stutter is practiced. She was brilliant at it. (Tommy Smothers is another) Barbara Walters said she was the only guest on The View who gave them questions to ask her ahead of time, so she could land a joke. She did a really interesting interview a few years ago, talking about being a female comedian early on: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/new...-carson-398088

To say what I said was wrong on what led Carson to not ever to speak to Joan again Wrong? I guess the interview that I saw with Joan (done in 2012) in her own words was wrong
