Phyllis Diller

Phyllis Diller (born Phyllis Ada Driver on July 17, 1917, in Lima, Ohio) is an American comedian who is generally considered one of the pioneers of female stand-up comedy. The stage character she created was a wild-haired, oddly-dressed housewife who was ugly but didn't realize it, and made jokes about a husband named "Fang" while smoking from a long cigarette holder. She is also well known for her distinctive, cackling laugh, one of the best-recognized in comedy.
