Never to Forget: Advice and the Life of Joan Rivers

Who Was Joan Rivers?

The comedian was born Joan Molinsky, but at the behest of her agent, Tony Rivers, she adopted a stage

name. On a whim, she chose "Joan Rivers," just because it felt right. "Having a stage name made it easier to perform in those raunchy nightclubs," she

told the Evening News newspaper in 1986.http://www.biography.com/people/joan-rivers-

Joan. She can’t be any worse than the guy you had on last night!'"

• She was an early adopter of the in-your-face female comedian persona pioneered by the likes of Phyllis Diller and Moms Mabley. But she blasted a fresh trail marked by one omnipresent sign: “No retreat, no surrender, no apology.”

“People Say That Money Is Not The Key To Happiness, But I Always

Figured If You Have Enough Money, You Can Have A Key Made!”

“Thank God We’re Living In A Country Where The Sky’s The Limit, The Stores

Are Open Late And You Can Shop In Bed Thanks To Television”

The playful rebuttal came just moments after Rivers criticized CNN anchor, Fredericka Whitfield, of being "very judgmental, very nasty, very opinionated,
