Image 0 of 7

Joan Rivers gets ready for her performance in the title role of Sally Marr ... and Her Escorts, a 1994 Broadway play. Rivers, the raspy loudmouth who pounced on America?s obsessions with flab, face-lifts, body hair and other blemishes of neurotic life, including her own, in five decades of caustic comedy that propelled her from nightclubs to television to international stardom, died in New York yesterday.
