Legendary comedian Joan Rivers has died at the age
of 81
DETAILS COMING
Comedy icon Joan Rivers has died due to
complications from a vocal cord procedure, her
daughter confirmed in a statement. "It is with great
sadness that I announce the death of my mother,
Joan Rivers," she said. Rivers went into cardiac
arrest during surgery on August 28 and was put on
life support shortly thereafter. She was 81 when she
died.
Today, Rivers is best known for hosting E!'s Fashion
Police and making jokes at the expense of
celebrities (herself included), but her career as a
comedian spans decades. She started appearing on
The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson in 1965
and was a regular guest host and writer by the early
eighties, publicly crediting Carson — whom she
considered her mentor — for her career. She was
known for being a boundary-pushing comedian
from the outset, joking about sex and marriage and
abortion ("My friend has had 14 appendectomies, if
you know what I mean" .
