I am a big fan of comedienne Phyllis Diller and was THRILLED to receive this autographed photo of her in the mail today.
Born in 1917, Phyllis was close to 40 when she began her career that has spanned nearly 6 decades. She’s an inspiration!
When RetroRoadhusband (Fang?) told me my tiki dress looked very Phyllis Diller I took this as a compliment.
Check out Goodnight, We Love You to learn more about this fab lady!
I hope to be known as a “indefatigable nonagenarian” – as IMDb calls her – if I’m that lucky!

Awesome!!!
Excellent Miss B. I love Phyllis too.
It’s Thriller Diller!
There is a great clip of her flirting with Robert Goulet at an award show from the 50′s-I saw it a long time ago,but it was brilliant-she was so feisty
ooh, I’ll have to look that up – thanks for the tip LK!
I have an autograph of hers too. She was great friends with my grandfather and when i was a child came to visit my grandparents. I was sick that weekend and she gave me an autographed photo of herself.that was about 26 years ago.. She was so much fun to be around and a great lady. Is her autograph worth anything nowadays?
what a sweet story! I don’t know what her autograph goes for these days, but to me mine is priceless!
