One of the few iconic red carpet celebrities I knew of growing up in life. It's sad to hear of her passing, and I hope she's better off where she is now.

I'm in my 50's, always enjoyed her energy and always ready to go attitude.
Her type of comedy rubbed some people the wrong way, RIP Joan.

sorry to hear of the death of this great comic.

I acknowledge her though and will forever have her voice in my head and speak with her inflection when I hear "Can we talk?"

I am saddened by the loss... Maybe I was more of a fan than I thought.

It's a bad year for comics. The good news is that theres gonna be a lot of good shows up there.
