Look Lee Grant, still alive and kicking age 90-something, SPELLS IT OUT. Antisemitism is the denominator. Forget the Holocaust. Antisemitism remains the denominiator. Grant told them straight. `You want to make me look bad.` Ditto Rivers. That interview where she presenter ticked her off for having costmetic surgery. The woman had she not been from a minority culture (Jews excluded) would not have found herself in a tv job. She was lightweight intellelctually and pretty damn plain looks-wise. Yet she interrogated Rivers about having had work done. I think this is the interview that Rivers terminated. But maybe it was another. She, like mosf of us Jews of significance, are treated shabbily and like most of us she tires of `being nice`. Last night at a Le Marche Italian event I met a woman who some years ago had heard my talk on Hitchcock and Alida Valli at the Riverside Cinema in Hammersmith. (She was the then programmer having started the programming at the Regent Cinema Regent Street) She paid me a lovely compliment. `To have seen you in action` she sighed. `To have seen you in action`. I mention the above because for the past 10 years and with the support of Google I have been targeted by a psychopathic British ++++ and ++++ tabloid smear merchant . The man published a list of London `Liggers` or Freeloaders and I was among the 10. The man hires minions to stalk and to harass and often himself appears at events. On one occasion having heqrd about and ruminated upon the targetting I met the man who proceeded to accuse me of being at the event (an art show) without an invite. I pulled the crips while velour invite from my handbag and waved it. He proceeded to harass me and along with 5 thug co-horts chanted `No invite, no invite` while taking photos. Finally I gave him/them the finger. The photo is used almost exclusively on Google to define my own page. See what I mean?
Two GIANTS of comedy both gone. My God we have nothing now compared to these two. Joan and Edna - thank god I was lucky to live through their greatest years.
The "Queen" was Jeannette Charles... same lookalike actress who played Queen Elizabeth II in Austin Powers and Naked Gun movies. But, the late great Princess Diana was really in the audience sitting in front-ish of the "Queen".
I know she loved London as she could be more raucous. She said once on the Graham Norton show this is England you can say anything. She was so clever, sharp, risque, witty & deep. Her husband had already killed himself & she sucked it up go carried on.
Joan looked especially so fabulous during this era. When she got her last several years' round of newest plastic surgery, I was shocked and couldn't understand why. It just sort of threw off her whole persona, including her comic delivery. Brilliantly business-savvy comedian and performer. Can't believe she's been gone all these years now. So funny. :)
She is a wonderful trail blazing pioneer. With all due respect to Phyllis Diller who was great in her day , but side by side in their 70's n 80's Joan ran circles around Phyllis. No.comparison , I think you can say no comparison with any younger female comedian of today. Joan rolls em up and smokes em ! And could trash talk em while shes doing it ! Shes like a slightly happier , yet still dis-respected lets talk shit about all the people in the hot stories of the day.,female Rodney Dangerfield A true American Classic. And as far as im concerned she was cite when she was younger and aquired a certain sex appeal thru the years , and she had it to the end. ! She had a very cute sex appeal and carried it with class . A very special Lady
@@trrrythomas1834 she reminds me so much of my girl Marilyn or perhaps let’s go with JAYNE MANSFIELD as she spoke of her highly and lowly she’s my kind of gal and I’d be married to her by now she had such sex appeal even to a young man such as myself!🎉
honestly it's refreshing to hear offensive humor without the comedian being like "YEAH IM NOT PC AT ALL THATS WHY PEOPLE WANT TO FIGHT ME" or whatever lmao. rip in peace joan, the first thing i ever saw you in was spaceballs
That's not Princess Diana in the audience its Christina Hance another Royal impersonator like the Queen impersonator behind her Jeannette Charles. source: imdb Joan Rivers: Abroad in London full cast&crew details.
"the best act in her price range...😂..." Oh Joan...i miss you ao much! Im sure you're quite amused giggling in the afterlife and understanding how algorithms work on RU-vid 😅 Thank goodness for your unsolicited clips now and then! 😂 Well ok hun ....more then than now but I'M STILL HEEEEAR...!" 🤭🤭🤭
She wasnt a good comedian, she was an extremely good one....Her technique was second to none. If there is Mount Rushmore of Comedy icons, and She's not there, they should dynamite the whole thing.
Joan Rivers was my all-time favorite! *Adored* her (that was before she went under the knife for the grotesque facial butchery--the surgeon should have been sued for malpractice).
