Members Cheap21 Posted August 20, 2012 Members Share Posted August 20, 2012 Wasnt she like a 100 years old? Diller just kept ticking and going and always felt young at heart. RIP wherever she is. She'll be missed Really? Wow. I was just joking. I didnt realize she was actually that old. I thought she was closer to 80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members alphanguy74 Posted August 20, 2012 Members Share Posted August 20, 2012 I still remember one of her best jokes, I was watching Hollywood Squares, I'd say it was around 1977 or 1978, and Phyllis was wearing this ENORMOUS brooch, it had like a giant garnet in the middle, and a bunch of rhinetones around it in a starburst pattern, probably 4 or 5 inches across... larger than life, just like she was. Peter Marshall said "Phyllis, what an amazing brooch your'e wearing this evening", or something to that effect. She pointed to it and said "You see this dial? You can turn it all night long, and the picture never gets any better". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted August 21, 2012 Members Share Posted August 21, 2012 I'll always remember her for this moment (at 2:10): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1i3o8R94VC0 This is good, too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QYyECnYIWM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MrQuartermaine Posted August 21, 2012 Members Share Posted August 21, 2012 She might have been 95, but she was one of the few celebrities everyone thought would kind of be around forever. I had the honor to meet Phyllis several years ago, and despite her age at the time, late 80's, she was sharp, funny, and she laughed that signature cackle of hers. She will be much missed.

Members Jonathan Posted August 21, 2012 Members Share Posted August 21, 2012 So funny reading Susan Lucci's facebook page. There are a few fans expressing their condolences thinking that PD was Susan Lucci's mother! I like this one Katt Sartin Shame on you for never being proud of the fact that Phyllis Dillard was your mom...........never mentioning her..........sad...........my family and I loved her she was an inspiration and pioneer of woman.

Members DRW50 Posted August 21, 2012 Members Share Posted August 21, 2012 I have never understood that rumor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted August 21, 2012 Members Share Posted August 21, 2012 Nether has Susan. Robin always says that they should have done something fun together for charity. There was also a rumor that Ruth Warrick was Susan and Robin's mom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted August 21, 2012 Author Members Share Posted August 21, 2012 Seriously where did these rumors come from. I remember Susan addressing them years ago cause people kept saying Phyllis was her mother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted August 21, 2012 Members Share Posted August 21, 2012 I think it had a lot to do with the fact that there was no internet to varify such things and not everybody who watched the stories subscribed to soap magazines, so it was easy for a rumor to start and have life continuously breathed into it.

Members dragonflies Posted August 21, 2012 Author Members Share Posted August 21, 2012 yeah but how did it originate, did they work together or something. What made people think this in the first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 21, 2012 Members Share Posted August 21, 2012 Snopes thinks it's because Phyllis was known for being a mess in her appearance and Susan was so glamorous, so it was started as a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
