Did she commit suicide, and if so, was it because she was caught molesting children?

Re: Phyllis Diller Dead at 95 Years Old
 

I'm still reeling from Tony Scott and now this gut punch.

At least she wasn't a child molester.

EDIT : Damn you Jaymole :lol:

You people making light of this wonderful artist's death make me sick.

She was a bright young artist cut down in her prime who maintained spatial relationships throughout her career.

Shame on you all.

RIP

Don't we all? I mean, we all are embodied, geographical beings, no???

But, I do agree, she was still hotter and had a more youthful appearance than Lindsey Lohan.

I believe my first exposure to her was as a special guest on the Scooby Doo cartoons.

To quote the Beastie Boys (RIP Adrock)

Re: Phyllis Diller Dead at 95 Years Old
 

A trailblazer and legend that showed that life can begin at 37... a long, storied life at that.

:rip: Phyllis Diller

Re: Phyllis Diller Dead at 95 Years Old
 

Haven't kept up with whatever she had been doing the past few decades, but I always liked her when I was kid. She cracked me up.

Rest in peace.

Re: Phyllis Diller Dead at 95 Years Old
 

A staple of '70s TV. RIP.

Re: Phyllis Diller Dead at 95 Years Old
 

Damn, she was a good one. RIP.

Re: Phyllis Diller Dead at 95 Years Old
 

Adrock is still very much alive.

Re: Phyllis Diller Dead at 95 Years Old
 

RIP. Who's going to take care of Fang?

Re: Phyllis Diller Dead at 95 Years Old
 

She was truly one of the great ones. RIP.

Re: Phyllis Diller Dead at 95 Years Old
 

I mean MCA.

Re: Phyllis Diller Dead at 95 Years Old
 

Have been a fan of hers since I was a kid in the early 70's. Sad to see her go. :(

Re: Phyllis Diller Dead at 95 Years Old
 

Wow. She was a legend. I remember seeing many appearances from her growing up. Sad news.

Re: Phyllis Diller Dead at 95 Years Old
 

I remember seeing her on TV a lot when I was growing up. She lived a long, full life.

(And I'm surprised the inevitable "Who'll be the 3rd?" post hasn't shown up yet.)

Re: Phyllis Diller Dead at 95 Years Old
 

Damn, first Tony Scott and now Phyllis Diller.

I wonder who the unlucky 3rd one will be?

Comedic actor William Windom dead at 88
Associated PressAssociated Press – 8 mins ago


LOS ANGELES (AP) — William Windom, who won an Emmy Award for his turn in the 1969 TV comedy series "My World And Welcome To It" and went on to score guest appearances on several popular shows, has died.

Windom died Thursday of congestive heart failure at his home in Woodacre, north of San Francisco, his wife Patricia told the Los Angeles Times. He was 88.

Windom won acclaim in the short-lived NBC series for his role as John Monroe, a writer-cartoonist for a New York magazine who relied on his fantasy life to escape a middle-class Connecticut life.

The series was based on the work of the humorist James Thurber and Windom went on to develop a one-man touring act inspired by the same whimsical Americana.

Born in New York City on Sept. 28, 1923, Windom was named after his great-grandfather, a Minnesota congressman and former U.S. Treasury secretary. He attended Williams College in Massachusetts before joining the Army as a paratrooper in World War II. He later attended the University of Kentucky, among several other higher-education institutions, and decided to pursue acting.

The easy-going Windom was an in-demand television character actor for decades and scored guest appearances on several American TV staples, including episodes of "Twilight Zone" and "Star Trek" and appeared on more than 50 segments of "Murder, She Wrote" beginning in the mid-1980s. There, Windom played a Maine country doctor opposite series star Angela Lansbury's Jessica Fletcher.

He also played the part of the prosecuting attorney who parries in court with Gregory Peck's Atticus Finch in the 1962 movie "To Kill a Mockingbird."

Married five times, Windom is survived by his wife of 37 years and four children, Rachel, Heather, Hope and Rebel.

Yeah. She was cool. 95 is good long run, and she had a hell of good time too.

Re: Phyllis Diller Dead at 95 Years Old
 

Agreed!
