In Memoriam: Our Friend Phyllis Diller

July 17, 1917 – August 20, 2012

 

We can all see her face… telling jokes and belting out her iconic laugh.  Phyllis Diller is a comedic superstar who is remembered throughout Hollywood and around the world. 

“She made us laugh and she made us feel happy.  Her kindness will always be remembered,” says  Founder and President of The Hollywood Museum, Donelle Dadigan.

Phyllis Diller contributed many of her personal items which can now be seen at The Hollywood Museum, including her own mini-dress and a signature jeweled cigarette holder used in numerous appearances including USO shows, on TV, and her famous night club acts.
