Phyliss Diller died today, she was 95.
I did not know that she was a trained classical pianist.

She was really funny and could laugh at herself which is what I loved about her. My father was a symphony conductor and knew her because of her beautiful talent at the piano. She did a guest appearance once at one of his concerts. She was a lovely lady and Will be misssed.

Yes i remember her she was so funny . That's why she lived such a long life. She was not a serious stressed out person . She was full of laughter and humor. Which makes a happy person.

Yes, she was a very funny comedian, one that we could laugh with. She came out with some good ones. They say she died with a smile on her face. I am sure she is keeping everyone in stitches up there in heaven.

Me, too, Heather. I remember once on an interview she said that she had had so many face lifts that she didn't think God would recognize her.
She was funny, and that laugh.
