Thank you Phyllis!! You gave us many laughs!

That lady really understood comedy. Rapid fire, incredibly aware of timing. Also - wore unflattering clothing despite being physically attractive to focus on the funny. My dad loved to tell me the same story (over and over) about meeting Martha Raye. I kept getting the two mixed up and asking him, "Is that the one you met on the train?" He'd say, "No, that one (Phylils) is funnier - but not by much."

I've always loved Phyllis Diller

She was the queen of self-deprecating humor, and I loved her for that...very smart, very creative...feels like she's been there my entire life since I remember her from back in the 70s when I was really young.

 

RIP, Phyllis! You'll be missed!

She was one of a kind as an entertainer, and with a unique fashion sense.

Very funny lady....I'll always remember her as a 'guest star' on Scooby Doo. Probably not her best work...but I always liked it. RIP.

RIP Phyllis. My mother was out in LA visiting us a number of years ago. We took her to Spago. Phyllis was there a couple of tables away. My mom swore it wasn't her until she laughed. "Oh yes, that's her" my mom said.
