PHYLLIS DILLER

Phyllis Diller was an actress and comedienne from the 1950s to the 2000s. She had married young and was a housewife raising children, but at the age of 37, her husband lost his job, and she took up stand-up comedy in the late 1950s! She primarily performed self-deprecating comedy, but she also made many TV appearances (some on talk shows, and some in sitcoms) and was in a few films. She passed away in 2012 at the age of 95.
