Apparently she suffered cardiac arrest during a surgery this afternoon. She wasn't my favorite, but it's definitely still sad. I can't believe she was 81!
-
Aww. I was hoping she would pull through.
-
She is a tough lady, I thought she would have pulled through but as time went on I felt like it was less likely. She lived a good eventful life. Hard to believe she was really 81. RIP.

@photojane: She had a minor surgery a week ago, suffered a stroke and heart attack, stopped breathing, and then rushed to a hospital. She was in ICU for a week in a medically induced coma before being taken off of life support.
Even though she said some dumb things later in life, I'm sad to see her go. She did a great documentary about her life in 2010. Joan had great hustle working hard throughout her life. I looked forward to award shows for her commentary. My thoughts are with her family.

I was hoping for the best for her. So sad.
-
I always felt like she was going to be one of those ladies who lived a loooong time. Crazy how fragile life is and how everything can change in an instant. RIP

I don't usually get wrapped up in celebrity deaths, but this one really upsets me!
-
sad. my SIL's BFF has been working with joan for years. i was hoping for the best.
-
@cascademom: I didn't even know about all of that! I don't usually follow celebrity news, but one of my friends said something on Facebook. Sad!

@photojane: Here's the ONTD posts on her: http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/tag/comedy%20%2F%20comedian
I really hoped that she would have pulled through. It was much graver than originally thought last week. Prayers to her family.
-
I love her.
She's pretty much the reason I own a television. I don't watch anything except Fashion Police and the local weather.
It will be a really sad awards season. I miss her already. -
i loved her and the documentary on her was excellent. she is a tough lady and i thought she would pull through. i will miss her.
-
I enjoyed her so was sad to just hear this news.
-
@Mrs. Bee: I totally agree. That documentary was pretty powerful. She had so much energy and hustle.
I think people forget that she was a pioneering female comedienne. She paved the way for people like Sarah Silverman and Kathy Griffin.
-
Loved her. Very sad.
-
So sad
-
so sad. I really thought she was going to pull through.

It makes me sad, I think although she was crass, she was an incredible woman and had an incredible career, 50 years in the business is just incredible. She was ahead of her time for women that's for sure. I will miss Fashion Police with her, it won't be the same that's for sure.

@rachiecakes: I got rid of cable for more than a year and when we got it back, I couldn't think of anything to DVR that I used to record other than Fashion Police!
I can't believe she's gone! Truly an icon in the comedy and fashion world!! So sad.
-
So sad. RIP.
-
She was one of my favorite personalities and a great comedian. Joan was a class act. RIP. She will be missed.
-
I can't believe it. I thought she would live to be 100!
-
I was so sad when I read this!! I will really miss her on the fashion police. I thought she was really funny.
-
There was no doubt in my mind that she would make it.. Sad news
-
-
She was a true comedic genius, and such a hard worker!
I was blown away by her counter-roast at her own roast... so many of her jokes were improvised in response to things the other roasters had said. What a creative force!
-
@Mrs. Bee: what is the name of the documentary about her? I would love to watch it!
-
@sarah.clarisse: a piece of work
