But Phyllis Diller Was Supposed To Live Forever!

If you were wearing a wig today and wondered why it just slipped off of your head and slowly dropped to the ground where it's lying like a sad puddle of polyester tears, it's because it's mourning the loss of a legendary comedian and glamour icon. TMZ says that Phyllis Diller is now in heaven, hopefully throwing side-eyes at Bea Arthur. Phyllis passed away at her home in Los Angeles while surrounded by her family. Phyllis was 95.

Here I was thinking that Phyllis Diller was immortal and found the fountain of youth in a liquid brow pencil, but TMZ says that she had a few health problems over the years. Phyllis was fitted with a pacemaker in 1999 after she had a heart attack. Recently, Phyllis messed up her wrist and hip after falling and she was getting hospice care at her home ever since.

Everything you need to know about Phyllis Diller's life is in her Wiki page (Side note: I didn't know where was an urban legend about her being Susan Lucci's biological mother?!) and in the documentary about her life Goodnight, We Love You. And here's a classic Phyllis Diller moment of her roasting Joan Collins:

Rest in peace, Phyllis Diller.

Let's all lower our exquisitely painted brows at half-staff on our faces for Phyllis.

You know who tweeted today how sad she was? Barbra Streisand. I bet back when Babs was starting out these two knocked down some highballs in some Manhattan bar together.

Phyllis, the only way I can stand your passing is that you've been reunited with your children who passed before you. I hope they greeted you when you were called to make God laugh. Thank you for all the fun, stories about Fang, and blazing a trail for female comedians.

I feel.bad for anyone who wasn't exposed to the raw talent of the. 60's and 70's...Phyllis was the Chelsea Handler/Sarah Silverman with a talent for self-depreciating humor, but funny as hell....she was ahead of her time, the original pink wig wearer make these ho's look pathetic

She was from my home town of Lima, Ohio. I will always have special place for her in my heart. She was a funny lady that lived a long life and said what the hell she wanted to. Love her. RIP Phyllis. You made it out of this...ahem...little town and made something of yourself.

Omg, Fang must be devastated.

Love me some Phyllis. She was the first female comedian I ever saw on TV and I was so amazed by her. I was probably five when I first saw her and I thought she was hilarious. I really thought her husband's name was Fang.
Everyone in heaven is laughing harder today. Love you Phyll!

LunaChick -- I am so sorry about your dad. *hugs*

Just saw this. Man, sad but feeling her "peace". One of a kind trailblazer of the feminine persuasion in a time where this kind of free-spirited snark was uncommon to say the least.

Between this and T. Scott, I am in a funk. Please don't let this be the Fall '12 departure of the classics. These heavy-hitters passing really has me thinking how fortunate we are to have lived in a world with them.

/runs out back to massive deadlines. stay golden, everyone

She outlived many of her own children, poor thing! I have great respect for women who are hilarious... men often prefer chicks who only laugh at their jokes and remain silent the rest of the time; it takes guts and brains to actually be funny. I hopes she rests in peace.

And Luna, my pops died more than a decade ago and I still think about him daily. Big hugs to you.
