Phyllis Diller Dies, Rosie O'Donnell has a Heart Attack

If things do happen in 3's, a female comedian somewhere should be on alert.

Phyllis Diller died Monday morning in Los Angeles at age 95.

"She died peacefully in her sleep with a smile on her face," her longtime manager, Milton Suchin, told The Associated Press.

Diller was known for her one-liners on such shows as Match Game and Hollywood Squares and of course, her facelifts.

Diller suffered a near-fatal heart attack in 1999. The cause of her death has not been released, but she was 95.

Rosie O'Donnell suffered a heart attack last week and is now recovering at home.

O'Donnell, 50 said she had a stent inserted after doctors found that her coronary artery was 99 percent blocked.

O'Donnell said her own health problems started on Aug. 14 after she helped "an enormous woman" struggling to get out of her car in a parking lot in Nyack, N.Y.

A few hours later, her chest ached, both arms felt sore as if they were bruised, she became nauseous, and had clammy skin.

"maybe this is a heart attack," she wrote. "i googled womens heart attack symptoms/i had many of them/but really? – i thought – naaaa."

She took the aspirin recommended for people who think they are suffering a heart attack but didn't call 911. She said that hundreds of thousands of women die each year of heart attacks and that many never dial the emergency number.
