Comedian Phyllis Diller dies at 95

 

Los Angeles: Phyllis Diller, prominent actress and comedian, died here in los Angeles on Monday. She was 95.
Her family said that she died peacefully in her sleep at 3 p.m., flowers will be placed on her Hollywood Walk of Fame star.
“Tony was always sensitive to the needs of an actor. We’ve lost a wonderful, creative talent,” said actor Gene Hackman in a statement.
Diller was a staple of nightclubs and television from the 1950s when female comics were rare until her retirement in 2002. She built her stand-up act around the persona of the corner-cutting housewife with bizarre looks, a wardrobe to match and a husband named “Fang.” She was known for her trademark cackle.
She didn’t get into comedy until she was nearly 40, after her first husband, Sherwood Diller, prodded her for two years to give up a successful career as an advertising and radio writer. Through it all, she was also a busy mother.
Her husband managed her career until the couple’s 25-year marriage fell apart in the 1960s.
She also appeared in movies, including “Boy, Did I Get a Wrong Number” and “Eight on the Lam” with Bob Hope.
