I have to say, I was SO sad at her passing and really teared up a ton last night as they were covering her a lot on many TV stations. I think the reason it's bothering me so much is bc she had SO much life left in her! SO much! She was full of energy and had a chock full schedule, even at 81. So tragic, even though she's lived such a tremendous life.
I really admired her also...beneath that funny, witty, sometimes-crass humor (which I LOVED) was a very sensitive, insightful, and deep person. She talked candidly of her husband's suicide, her own devastating depression, and her other adversities - yet she always seemed to maintain her openness, kindness, and liveliness.
She was truly a pioneer for women in comedy, truly. No woman did her kind of humor before her. She was a real maverick.
Bless her heart for bringing us so much laughter. RIP Joan Rivers.
