[3] You’re right, should keep my criticisms to myself. A great comic, even if her more recent comments were hugely offensive. Wrong to judge someone based on one objectionable incident. 🙁

She was a piece of work.
There was a documentary about Joan a few years ago appropriately titled: Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work.
It showed the file cabinets of jokes she wrote over the decades, hundreds of thousands of jokes, all typed on index cards and categorized by subject.

She told GQ:
“I always say, “What are we going to do with these cards when I die?” And my daughter, Melissa, said, “Give them to the Smithsonian, they take anything.’ Anything. And they’re not allowed to sell!”
