[FrackleFan2012]

Today, we lost another actress/comedian, Phyllis Diller died at the age of 95. She was a former Vegas performer and was one of the first women to establish a long and successful career in comedy. She was best known for starring in two variety programs, The Phyllis Diller Show and The Beautiful Phyllis Diller Show, as well as being a regular on Laugh-In.

She guest starred in the 18th episode of the 1st season of The Muppet Show.

She has appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show, The Gong Show (as a recurring panelist), an episode of The New Scooby-Doo Movies, Love American Style, and two episodes of The Bold & The Beautiful (as Gladys the Gardener). She was also the voices of Mitzi (Hey! Arnold), Thelma Griffin (Family Guy), and Mask Scara (The Powerpuff Girls).

Phyllis Diller will be remembered for many generations to come.
(July 17, 1917-August 20, 2012)
Rest in Peace
Hope you have a better life now.

Gee whiz... the whole world is dying this year.

Pretty much.
Losing legends like Whitney Houston, Dick Clark, Robin Gibb, Marvin Hamlisch, Donna Summer, and Etta James made the world different than usual.

Let's all hope no more celebrities pass away by the end of this year.

I wonder how many more celebrities will die by the end of this year.

How about let's hope no more pass away this year.

Yet another celebrity death?

Rest in peace Phyllis, your presence will be missed. And thank you for being a Muppet Show guest star. That really means a lot in itself.

I believe so...I think she played a queen or something? It's been so long since I saw that movie...
