Rivers was not only a comedian, but a fashion icon, actress, writer, producer, and mother. She touched the lives of many and her unexpected death left many in tears. Twitter was blowing up within minutes of her death. (https://twitter.com/#ripjoanrivers) #RIPJoanRivers currently has over 100,000 tweets.
Melissa Rivers, Joan's daughter, made the courageous decision to let her mother rest in peace. Melissa took her Joan off of life support and spent every last minute with her mom. She reports to TMZ, "She passed peacefully at 1:17 PM surrounded by family and close friends. My son and I would like to thank the doctors, nurses and staff of Mount Sinai hospital for the amazing care they have provided for my mother." For more information, visit http://www.tmz.com. Melissa explains how proud she is of her mother. "She has a big heart." Melissa says.
During her lifetime, Joan Rivers did many things worth remembering. Since this is a musical theatre blog, we must not brush over the fact that she was Tony nominee! Her nomination was for best actress in a play. Unfortunately, Rivers did not win the award, but what an amazing honor it is to be nominated. She has been a cheerleader for the arts since she first began her career 50 years ago. Joan was well rounded in all subjects of the arts. Including theatre, writing, and television, Joan lived a remarkable life and she will be in our thoughts forever.
RIP Joan Rivers. May you still critique our wardrobes from heaven.
