Comedy Legend Joan Rivers Dies at Age 81

The world of entertainment lost a matchless talent today, when Joan Rivers passed away at the age of 81. A pioneer for females in comedy, Rivers was an example of a woman who—whether you agreed with her brand of humor or not—never pandered to anyone, and never quivered at the thought of being disliked. Obviously, Twitter is awash with condolences, messages, and memories from all types of people, including actors, musicians, reporters, and—of course—comedians.

Heaven just got a whole lot funnier. #RIPJoan

Joan Rivers has died. What a sad ending to a brilliant and tragi-comic life; one of the bravest, and funniest of all.

She read my Wikipedia page: "you trained in Flamenco & period dance. What the hell is period dance? Does it involve tampons?"- Joan Rivers 😂

Didn't know @Joan_Rivers that well, but I was one of the 481 people she followed on Twitter. So I suspect she secretly loved cricket.
