Oh no , not Joan . The legend drop dead today at 81 after complications from outspoken chord surgery , a fantastically unjust finish for one of the world ’s most uncontrollable personalities . Tonight , honor her bequest and be awed by her trailblazing five - tenner career with her 2010 documentary , A Piece of Work .

film maker followed Rivers around for a twelvemonth and a one-half and ended up capture what may have been some of the most vulnerable moments of her life-time . Yet from the shake up possibility scene where she appear without a scratch of make-up , to the scenes face up the desperate veneration of an aging star with an empty calendar , river never flinches ( even though she cries a few meter ) . The pic is both an heart - opening , full - frontal prospect of her brutal study ethic — she index all of her jokes into a card catalog!—and a retrospective of her raucously incompatible , yet ahead - of - its - prison term humor . Through it all , no one push herself hard than Rivers , and no one will ever add up close to stealing her top as the original queen of funniness . [ Netflix ]
