Diller, who presented herself as a odd-ball housewife with a husband name Fang, was a staple on '50s television.

In the 1950s, when Diller started being funny for a living, there were no female standup comedians making it big. Some critics have said she succeeded because a lot of her material was about mocking herself. She died at home, where she'd been in hospice care after a fall, at the age of 95.
