WSBKeymasterUsually I hear national news through Twitter or Facebook first but this may be the first time I heard a national story through the administrative end of the WSB Forums (was just in unspamming a couple posts and saw the mention of William Windom … I loved “My World and Welcome To It” …)
:(
Still haven’t had a chance to look up whether Phyllis was survived by Fang!

JanSParticipantawww, Fang…I’m thinking he passed away. Hey, I’m on the internet…I’ll look it up.(facepalm)!
from wikipedia:
Diller was married and divorced twice. She also dated Earl “Madman” Muntz, a pioneer in oddball TV and radio ads.
She had six[21] children from her marriage to her first husband, Sherwood Anderson Diller. Her first child was Peter (b. 1940;[22] d. 1998 of cancer).[23] Her second child Sally, born in 1944,[21] has suffered from schizophrenia most of her life.[24] Her third child, a son, lived for only two weeks in an incubator.[25] A daughter, Suzanne, was born in 1946,[26] followed by another daughter Stephanie (b. 1948[27] d. 2002 of a stroke)[28] and a son Perry (b. 1950).[29]
Diller’s second husband was actor Warde Donovan (born Warde Tatum), whom she married on 7 October 1965 and divorced the following year; they apparently re-married and divorced for a second time in 1974.[30]
She was the partner of Robert P. Hastings from 1985 until his death in 1996.[2]
Her youngest son Perry, now 62, oversaw her affairs until her death.[citation needed]
Diller was not the mother of actress Susan Lucci, nor TV personality Dorothy Lucey, despite urban legends to that effect, frequently passed through viral emails under trivia headings such as “Did You Know…?”[31]
The husband frequently mentioned in her act, “Fang”, was entirely fictional, and not based on any of her actual husbands.

hammerheadParticipantWell thank you for that Jan:)

montanapupParticipantWOW. Not William Windon too! Loved that show as a kid – he made those cartoons even more real and funny. Ok – I think this entire forum has officially dated themselves. That means you all know the following names: Engleberg Humperdink, Perry Como, Paul Lynd, Tom Jones, Merv Griffin, Desi Arnez and Lucille Ball, Jim Nabors, Eva Gabor, Eddie Albert, Fred McMurry, Barbara Eden…….
