Phyllis Diller was an American screen and voice actress, and stand-up comedienne, dancer, and singer. Her trademark persona included her eccentric stage persona, self-deprecating humour, wild hair and clothes, and her exaggerated, cackling laugh. She was the star of the sitcom, The Pruitts of Southampton (also known as The Phyllis Diller Show), between 1966-1967, and the variety show, The Beautiful Phyllis Diller Show, in 1968. She was also the voice of Thelma Griffin on Family Guy (starring Seth Green).
