"Hmmm. I've heard of her. Can't place her in a movie though. Comedian, yes?"

She goes back to the Ed Sullivan days. I remember watching her then. I think she made one movie. Something about a man getting pregnant. Not sure if Billy Crystal played opposite her. Joan's been around for years.

I just did a search on her filmography. She's done a bunch of other movies...bit parts. But the first movie I remember her being in was called Rabbit Test made in 1978 and Billy Crystal was in it with her.

I believe she got her start on the Carson show in the mid 60s.

Actually, in the early 80s, I took my mom (who was a fan) to see her standup act in Columbus, Ohio at the Palace. She put on a good, funny show. She's still hanging in there, I'll give her that. But she has a habit of crossing the line between humor and VERY bad taste.
