Legendary comedienne Phyllis Diller, who blazed a trail for a generation of female comics with her brash and self-deprecating stand-up routine, has died. She was 95 years old.



Phyllis Diller dead at 95

Diller had been suffering health problems as of late: She recently hurt her hip and wrist in a fall and has been living under hospice care at her Los Angeles home. She passed away there this morning, surrounded by family. Diller's longtime manager, Milton Suchin, told The Associated Press, "She died peacefully in her sleep and with a smile on her face."

She was all over the TV news here tonight.  I always thought she was fantastic, and loved the way she didn't allow appearance to get in the way of her passion.  Good role model, and I am glad her passing was peaceful.

I'd like to die peacefully, in my sleep, like my grandfather did.

Not screaming in terror like the passengers in his car.
