She smiled & said: "I'm a comic."
She was an excellent comedienne and earned her reputation. It is really a shame and a confusion that she went with the style of down-grading people and omitting the interesting things in her career. Her husband was a good person from an excellent family, a family that raised her children for her. It's a shame that readers expect this kind of untrue info. or negative angle from someone who has become confused about what to say. Otherwise, the reader might have heard the truth with interesting stories and insights attached. Re-trace your steps and check statements made in past about her life; it's completely different. What a shame.
