R.I.P PHYLLIS DILLER

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Phyllis Diller, the housewife turned humorist who aimed some of her sharpest barbs at herself, punctuating her jokes with her trademark cackle, died Monday morning in her Los Angeles home at age 95.

Diller , who paved the way for female comedians, began her legendary stand-up comedy career at the age of 37.

"She died peacefully in her sleep and with a smile on her face," her longtime manager, Milton Suchin, told The Associated Press.

Diller, who suffered a near-fatal heart attack in 1999, was found by her son, Perry Diller. The cause of her death has not been released.

Antonio Mejias-Rentas wrote: 

We just saw a TV special with Phyllis Diller, Roseanne and Sandra Bernhard, in which the older comedian drank a lot more than her younger friends; she loved her vodka. Well, that's what happens when you have vodka daily and enjoy life: you die at 95 with a smile on your face.
