RIP Joan Rivers
by digby
Over the years whenever some jerk would say to me "chicks aren't funny" I always said, don't tell Joan Rivers.
She lived to be 81 and died at the very height of her fame. I don't think it gets any better than that for a showbiz icon.
Here's the trailer for her wonderful 2010 documentary called "Joan Rivers, A Piece of Work". It's streaming on Netflix if you haven't seen it. This too.
