Joan Rivers 1933-2014
(born Joan Alexandra Molinsky)
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
