Rivers, Melissa, 1969-2015
Books, Manuscripts
Joan Rivers was known all over the world - from the Palace Theatre to Buckingham Palace, from the bright lights of Las Vegas to the footlights of Broadway, from the days of talkies to hosting talk shows. But there was only one person who knew Joan intimately, one person who the authorities would call when she got a little out of hand. Her daughter and best friend, Melissa. Joan and Melissa Rivers had one of the most celebrated mother-daughter relationships of all time. If you think Joan said some outrageous things to her audiences as a comedian, you won't believe what she said and did in private. Her love for her daughter knew no bounds - or boundaries, apparently. In 'The Book of Joan,' Melissa shares stories, bon mots, and life lessons from growing up in the Rosenberg-Rivers household. These were just the tip of the iceberg when it came to life in the family that Melissa describes as more Addams than Cleaver.
