| PHYLLIS DILLER art in gouache on board by Robert Rechter |
 |
| Phyllis did not start her career as a comic until she was 37 & had raised 5 children. |
 |
| Phyllis was actually a pretty woman underneath the wigs and makeup |
 |
| Phyllis believed in the power of positive thought, and being a good person. |
 |
| Phyllis often made jokes about her 'bird legs'. |
 |
| Phyllis loved to hoard things, she collected bags and postcards, and also many zany outfits for her act. |
 |
| Phyllis is simply stunning in this shot. |
Phyllis Diller counted amongst her close comedienne friends Joan Rivers, Lily Tomlin and Joy Behar. Joan said Phyllis was extremely helpful to her as an up an coming comedienne in the 60's. They remained close, and Joan and her daughter Melissa went to Phyllis' home for brunch only a month before she passed away. She was smiling until the end, and had all her family around her, passing away in her sleep.
