RIP Joan, the funniest of all.  Although a tad raunchy for some, Joan Rivers was a class act who was known to host fabulous dinner parties.  She was also very devoted to her daughter and grandson, and paid for the college tuition for the teens of so many friends, relatives, and the staff that worked for her. She was elegant, self deprecating, and funny as hell. I highly recommend A Piece of Work, a documentary about her incredible life and her even more incredible work ethic.
