Joan Rivers

Joan Rivers’s plans for an elaborate, over-the-top funeral may not be exactly what she will get, but it may be close.

Joan Alexandra Molinksy was born in Brooklyn on June 8, 1933, to immigrants from Russia. She attended the Adelphi academy in Brooklyn, and, an excellent student, was Phi Beta Kappa at Barnard College, from which she graduated with a degree in English in 1954
