Caustic comedienne Phyllis Diller dead at 95

The world is remembering Phyllis Diller.

The woman known for her crackling laugh died today at the age of 95.

Her successful career took her around the world. But a night in a village near Cambridge back in 2001, was one that left her shaken. That’s when her limo driver died in a tragic accident. The driver got out of the limo on a winding driveway to ask for directions – but the limo was in neutral and it rolled backwards killing her.

At the time Diller spoke to CHCH News about what happened, and working through tragedy.
