Summary
Born to elderly parents in Lima, Ohio, in 1917, Phyllis Ada Driver was blessed with neither beauty nor wealth, and then married a selfish ne'er-do-well (who became the "Fang" in her comic monologues) at 20 and had five children. Nearly 40 when she began her performing career, Diller turned a knack for relentless self-deprecation into a nightclub act. Eventually shedding her dud husband, Diller became a superstar - and the first one to go public about her plastic surgery. Strong language. Some descriptions of sex. Some descriptions of violence. 2006
