Phyllis Diller, you are beautiful in every way, miss your fabulous sense of humor so much, one of the funniest women in comedy! God bless you and may you be resting in peace.
I watched her on TV a lot as a kid, during 1960s and 1970s, thought she was hilarious. I used to watch her sitcom, it was funny. A few of those eps are on You Tube.She did TV ads of Salvo detergent tablets in late 1960s. Always wondered what Fang looked like.
Phyllis married Sherwood Diller who was a WWIi war plant worker helping to make bombers in Detroit. She called him Fang in her comic routine. Her maiden name was Driver. She kept him laughing all the time. They were married a long time but they got a divorce after the children were grown up. She then had a woman companion late in life. I remember seeing her on t.v. with other comedians like Jack Benny. She was seriously funny. Our family adored her. We were also from Michigan.
She had a woman companion late in life because she seriously injured herself when falling and needed help every day. The love of her life was the widower Bob Hastings and he died at 86 when she was 78. She wrote that she always had a beux on her arm for dinner when she was in her nineties. She was amazing and an amazing pianist too!
She was iconic class act so funny. I would have loved to have met Phyllis and Jim. Wow they had to really perform back in the day comedy and singing is fantastic.
Melody HIS2BLESS Calvin’s: She had done some musicals in summer stock (WONDERFUL TOWN) but made it to Broadway as one of the original Dollies in HELLO, DOLLY! following Pearl Bailey and before the last one Ethel Merman. The box office was better than average if not at the same level of Channing, Bailey or Merman. She could carry a tune, obviously more than capable with the comedy but surprisingly handled the more serious aspects very well. And no, she didn’t call her late husband “Fang”. Ha!!

She said herself she didn't actually call any of her husband's Fang, it was a made up husband's name
Ha! I knew that was a Marlboro commercial. Dang.

Anyone know what year this is from?
1968 I’m guessing
Selinor578: It was after the “Gomer Pyle USMC” series ended, about 1970-‘71. You sure as hell can’t tell from her ‘fashion’. Ha!
