JOAN RIVERS

Joan Rivers made her being controversial her bread and butter. The best bit? She was beloved by many for it. In 1986, she got her program, The Late Show with Joan Rivers, making her the first woman to be at the helm of a nighttime television talk show. She even became a rival to her mentor, Johnny Carson. She also hosted Fashion Police on E! and had her reality-TV shows alongside her daughter, Melissa Rivers.

The host led quite the colorful life with a high credit score, of course—one which she never shies away from speaking about. Her life was an open book, including her multiple cosmetic procedures. She even made a joke of herself, saying that she will donate her body to Tupperware when she leaves this world. In 2014, Joan passed due at the age of 81. Her doctors take full responsibility for her demise as it is found out that they had committed several mistakes during a medical procedure.
