    Default Phyllis Diller, outlandish comedian, dies at 95

    Phyllis Diller, the zany housewife-turned-stand-up comic with the electrified hairdo, outlandish wardrobe and a barrage of self-deprecating jokes punctuated by her trademark laugh, has died. She was 95.

    Diller, whose career in comedy clubs spanned nearly 50 years, died in her sleep Monday at her longtime home in Brentwood, said her agent, Fred Wostbrock.

    When you're arguing with an idiot, make sure the person you are speaking to isn't doing the same thing.

    RIP Phylllis. At least she went peacefully.

    From the article; and I think she describes herself well there:

    But Diller was always the first to address her colorfully eccentric stage persona, describing herself as "The Elizabeth Taylor of'The Twilight Zone'" and a woman who once worked "as a lampshade in a whorehouse."
