So accurate. She was unfairly hated by many and I think it was almost entirely because she was a Female and white (therefore predjudice for any jokes revolving around peoples race or ethnicity) which is so dumb because she's jewish and for one THEY'RE JUST JOKES, and honestly her jokes were THE BEST, they were blunt, brutal, dry, and had her audiences HYSTERICAL because she was THAT TALENTED. Its a shame she had to go through the loss of her husband and then passed away not long ago. We need more strong female roles in comedy, acting, and in the world.

You're so right. She was an uber talent. I loved her as I grew older in my own life I began to understand her more and more. I hate that we lost her they way, and when, we did. I feel like we all lost her. Not just Melissa and the family. God bless them.

Oh how I miss Joan Rivers & Joan & Melissa’s Show so much many laughs sometimes tears. Just miss Joan she made me laugh 😂

WELL...Joan was Tony nominated for Sally MArs...she won an EMMY for best daytime talk show host....she chose not to continue that show. I'd say she got her "kudos"...and at a point, aside from booking and booking dates...at age 80, she was satisfied with her life....had 2 cable and one internet show. Amazing.

🤣🤣🤣

That's why it was made

Same!

I know it’s so annoying :(

You’re cute

Me too

Yes she looked like her mom until her mom had too much plastic surgery

are we doing this now? i watched 08/27/20 😂

@@marc44444 I know right ha ha

😢😢😢😢😢

No problem!! I had to see it so found a copy! :)

crazzi-j north same 💫💫💫

14kruitben right what an incredible actress Joan was and yet she never got any serious roles what a shame

My question too... 😢😢😡😢😢😢

The Reason For them to Heal from this tragedy

To help others who have loved ones who have commit suicide

My God, you would hope the police were more sensitive and better trained than that!

That was all real not acting for sure

@@chloekit4861 it actually happened this in real life, she admitted this when they were talking about his suicide on her daytime talk show

is it more expensive now?

I know, right???!!!! This is AMAZING!!!!

I thought everyone knew they made a tv movie about the suicide of her hubby/father

I googled Joan and then searched for this.....I didn’t realise. What a woman!!

Let alone cathartic as well as shamefully self-serving.

@@Yonarer Well it was their tragedy so they were fully entitled to do with it whatever they wanted. I just think a made for TV movie is strange therapy but hey, I'm British. We are the most introverted and repressed nation on Earth, so over sharing anything personal is anathema to us!

Joan wrote this, and then they played each other. This was a huge help to them to work through their grief. Also to help so many other families dealing with suicide. I can't even imagine the amount of courage it must have taken to do that.

@@megankazukibuttons9334 That's an excellent point, and you make it eloquently. Joan Rivers was indeed a very courageous human being, as was evident throughout her life. This autobiographical, deeply personal movie is yet more evidence - were it needed - of what a remarkable woman she was. As a comedian and personality, I loved and admired her hugely. Joan wrote some inspirational self-help books, one of which entitled 'Bouncing Back' was a great comfort to me at a low time in my life. People are unaware that after her husband's suicide, she became an inspirational speaker and counsellor on a very small and discreet scale. She wanted to help others whose lives had been blighted by suicide, and I'm sure she did. God bless her, the world is not half so much fun without her in it.

I wonder why

Yes obviously lol

Joan said on Howard stern years later. “Someone called and said they wanted to talk to Joan and she wasn’t home ,and the person said tell your mother your dad killed himself in a hotel room....

@@jimmyl324 People are insane & the things they do are outrageous .

Yeah some awful person told her father killed himself and then hung up

And that joke would just piss off people on Twitter if it aired today

@@jtlovescodelyoko Which is good 😂 I’m sure it pissed people off back then, they just didn’t have Twitter.

Is was a tv movie i remember watching it when i was a teen..about the suicide.

Right. I was confused there

@@jojopierson78 good on ya

That's Melissa

Lol...how can you not tell its both of them. Besides it says starring Melissa Rives and Joan Rivers...lol

Lol...its so true. I remember watching this as a kid...but i didn't get how bad it was. But how can one not love Joan ❤

Kerstin Dahlqvist Dorothy Lyman, I believe.

It was. I'd recognize "Opal Gardner's" face anywhere :)

@@ClarenceFisher lol

Frank Gzz America's Boyfriend Depression is easily detectable on functional MRI as significantly impacting blood flow and brain function. His executive function was severely impaired.

Haha why do you think that? I guess she didn't how badly it would set her back in her career!

Your an idiot

How you know?

Shut up you fool! It was a selfish suicide by a man who wanted to punish his wife for being more successful than him.

Edgar let Joan down many times. Yes she was a star and hugely talented, and she made the mistake of letting her not very talented husband manage/produce her. Edgar was a control freak, and drunk with power. He was difficult, caused problems for her with TV executives and lost her a big TV series because people didn't want to work with him. I think Joan sold herself short when she married him, she was very loyal but ultimately they were headed to the divorce courts because he was a lousy husband. Very sad for her and their daughter that he took that way out. As with many suicides, there was a lot of anger and resentment on his part. I don't think his male ego ever forgave Joan for being more successful, more popular, more bankable, more everything than he was.
