I saw the Joan Rivers documentary (Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work) this weekend and let me just say that it was hilarious. I remember watching Joan Rivers growing up. Her talk show was one of my favorite things to do in the afternoon after school. Wait, was it on after school, or was during the day and I only got to see it in the summer? Either way, my grandmother and I watched it together whenever we could. Joan Rivers and The Young and the Restless (but that is a different story for another time).
Joan Rivers is described as an Icon, and I could not agree more. The woman is 75 years old and as I sat watching her travel the country and work 2-3 shows a day I was exhausted thinking about it. You put me on that type of work schedule (a 29 year old) and I would pass out on you. It was amazing to me to see the dedication to her craft. It is very disheartening to me that someone who works as hard as she does, is still considered a bit of a joke in the entertainment industry. I hope that this documentary will make people view her in a whole new light. Maybe critics should watch what she has to offer with their grandmothers. Perhaps they'd form a bond?
