PHYLLIS DILLER Dead at 95
Quote:
Comedian Phyllis Diller -- who paved the way for today's female comics -- has died, TMZ has learned.
Sources close to Diller tell us the comedian died at her L.A. home, surrounded by family. She was 95.
We're told Diller had recently fallen, hurting her wrist and hip, and her health had been on the decline ever since. She had been living in hospice care at her home.

I think she and Betty White are the last of the two original female comedians that I remember from my childhood. So sad, but she did live a fulfilling life.

And Lily Tomlin. She's the one I most remember from the Laugh In days.

The Smithsonian has a ginormous card catalog with her one-liner jokes in it...she donated them. I can't remember how many, but it's in the thousands.

Any GCers of a certain age remember her short-lived sitcom, The Pruitts of Southampton? Best theme song ever!
