Rivers distinguished career began in the 1960's when she started doing her stand-up routine in small New York City venues and eventually joined Chicago's prestigious comedy troupe, "Second City."
Since then, Rivers has evolved into a Hollywood "hyphenate", adding such titles to her resume as author, actress, playwright, screen-writer, motion picture director, headliner, guest-speaker, Emmy Award-winning talk-show hostess, business woman with her jewelry and cosmetics empire, and mother to occasional on-air partner, daughter Melissa.
Also during her illustrious career, River's signature "Can we talk?" was registered as an official Federal Trademark, she was named "permanent guest host" on "The Tonight Show" for Johnny Carson in the 80's, and earned a star on Hollywood's renown Walk of Fame.
Today, joined by daughter Melissa, Joan is known as the acid-tongued and always witty Queen of the Red Carpet where she gleefully evaluates the fashions of Hollywood's icons as they arrive for all the major awards ceremonies throughout the year. Since its inception, her annual pre-Oscar fashion-fest has become as popular as the ceremony itself.
