LOS ANGELES, Aug 21: Comedian Phyllis Diller, the former housewife whose raucous cackle and jokes about her own looks made her one of America’s first female stand-up comedy stars, died in her sleep yesterday at age 95, her longtime manager said. Diller was found in her bed at her home in the affluent Brentwood section of Los Angeles by her son, Perry, who had come to visit her, manager Milt Suchin said. (agencies)
