Joan Rivers death.

I really liked Joan - Kit Hesketh Harvey (Kit and the Widow her support act) wrote a lovely piece about her in the telegraph aOn Saturday she sounded a really nice caring person as well as a brilliant comic.

“The kind of people who always go on about whether a thing is in good taste invariably have very bad taste”

“A man of great common sense and good taste is a man without originality or moral courage."

[i]George Bernard Shaw[/i]

Yes what a character, regularly she made tasteless jokes but on the whole I liked her.

She said she wanted to be buried just a few inches down as she knew people thought she was shallow.

Her funeral sounds hilarious too. It started with the New Yorks Gay Men's choir! And Hugh Jackman sang in the interval. Lots of jokes in the eulogies. Wonderful.

Oh, thank goodness. I am so glad others admired her as much as I did.
I really expected a lot of scathing comments and am relieved I was wrong.

There was a double page spread of her one liners in the paper - so funny!!!

I watched her 'An audience with' last night with my son, as he had never seen her before and I wanted him to while he had the chance. We decided that all she has ever done is said what is already in our minds anyway, yet never dare to say for fear of society's condemnation. She was totally fearless, though.

I thought she was extremely witty whilst putting her point across with humour. Sad to hear she has died.

What a character! And a very, very funny entertainer.

I loved her, she was absolutely fearless and told it as it was. She was a very funny lady, and I am really saddened by her death.

I found her a very funny lady, she will be missed by many.
