R,I.P Phyllis Diller

One of the best funny ladies of all time, Phyllis Diller passed away today at the age of 95 in Los Angeles.
From TMZ: Comedian Phyllis Diller -- who paved the way for today's female comics -- died this morning, TMZ has learned.
Sources close to Diller tell us the comedian died in her sleep at her L.A. home, surrounded by family. She was 95.
We're told Diller had recently fallen, hurting her wrist and hip -- but her rep says the injury had nothing to do with her death.
Diller suffered a heart attack in 1999 and was later fitted with a pacemaker.
Phyllis began her career all the way back in 1952 -- and rose to fame with her TV specials alongside Bob Hope in the 1960s.

Diller was one the funniest ladies out there and there has been no one, not one female comedian out there that is good as she was.  She was funny and edgy but not gross edgy, like we see today in comedians.
