She is an inspiration to all women, especially those who work in comedy. Diller &amp;quot;influenced every female comedian that came after her,&amp;quot; her longtime agent, Fred Wostbrock, told The Hollywood Reporter. &amp;quot;She was the first one. No one was doing it before her. She conquered Vegas, Broadway, film, television. She was on the Carson show several times a year for 30 years.&amp;quot; The funny lady began her career on the radio in 1952 and eventually progressed to TV, movies, and Broadway. Her resume     highlights include working alongside with Bob Hope on TV specials in the 1960s; starring in NBC&amp;#039;s The Beautiful Phyllis Diller Show variety show in 1968; performing on Broadway in Hello Dolly! in 1969; appearing as a guest actress in the family show, 7th Heaven; and playing the voice of Peter Griffin&amp;#039;s mother, Thelma Griffin, in Family Guy. &amp;quot;The world has lost a true trailblazer, a gracious and kind woman, beloved by all,&amp;quot; Suchin told THR.
