Joan Rivers, the comedian who broke the ceiling on the male-dominated latenight talk shows and interviewed Hollywood celebrities on the red carpet with no agenda -- accept maybe to point out their bad choice in clothes, died Thursday at Mount Sanai Hospital in New York, surrounded by family and close friends.
She had been hospitalized Aug. 28 after going into cardiac arrest in a doctor's office following a routine procedure. The New York state health department is investigating the circumstances.
Joe Vicari, CEO of Andiamo has issued the following statement on the passing of Joan Rivers.
“The
entire Andiamo family is deeply saddened by the passing of our friend
Joan Rivers. She has graced our stage numerous times and provided
laughter and entertainment to our audience as she has to her countless
fans all over the world. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family at
this time.”
Survivors include Rivers' daughter, Melissa and a grandson, Cooper.
