Joan Rivers

Joan Rivers
Joan Rivers (born Joan Alexandra Molinsky June 8, 1933) is an American comedian, actress, talk show host, businesswoman and celebrity. She is known for her brash manner and loud, raspy voice with a heavy metropolitan New York accent. Rivers is the National Chairwoman of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and is a board member of God's Love We Deliver. Like the ground-breaking Phyllis Diller, Rivers' act relied heavily on poking fun at herself. A typical Rivers joke about her appearance was "I used to stand by the side of the road with a sign: 'Last girl before freeway.'"
