Thanks to Jack Travis, The Icon offers you the serious and funny side of Phyllis Diller - check out the video
NOTE: The video is at the bottom of this story.
The Bluffton Icon presents a never-before-seen video interview with the late Phyllis Diller. Dr. Jack (Tony) Travis, Bluffton native, BHS graduate, and friend of Ms. Diller forwarded this video to The Icon.
This shows two sides of Phyllis: a serious side, as she discusses the benefits of breastfeeding; and, then in the last 30 seconds, Phyllis lays on a joke and provides us with her famous "laugh."
The video was made about four years ago in Ms. Diller's California home. Thanks, Tony, for providing The Icon with this exclusive.
