RIP Phyllis Diller

[The Mule]

The ballsiest broad of comedy has died. A pioneer in the world of entertainment and one of the first female comedians, she was an inspiration. I first saw her in a scene from Splendor in the Grass (one of my favourite movies ever) playing famous, bawdy, club hostess, Texas Guinan, and her scene blew me away. She commanded the room and made me forget about how good-looking Warren Beatty and Natalie Wood are. Truly one of the funniest, most ground-breaking entertainers ever. All women could learn a lot from her. Fuckit. All people could.



I'm going to be extra sassy today in tribute. I will miss her.

Great comedian. Sad day. When Don Rickles passes away, that will end an era of great comedians that personified a generation.

There's a big cup of Sanka waiting for you. RIP crazy lady. You have brought many smiles and laughs to many people over the years and will be missed.

She was totally hilarious and the world is a little less bright today! She was the quintessential female comedienne. Not to show my age but I remember her on Laugh In when I was a kid, used to just crack me up!
