For that we really can be grateful," Variety quoted her daughter Melissa Rivers as saying.
"Joan is the icon of icons in every sense of the word. Not only was she a comedic pioneer, but she was also an entrepreneur, author, actress, director, and more. We're excited to honor her career, and her life's work for many years to come," said Brian Volk-Weiss, CEO of Comedy Dynamics, cited the publication.
