It seemed her star was going nowhere but up. She had become permanent guest host of The Tonight Show, she was headlining in Las Vegas, she had triumphed at Carnegie Hall. Her daughter, Melissa, was the joy of her life, and the savvy guidance of her husband, Edgar Rosenberg, had successfully navigated her career to new heights. John Rivers was the golden girl whose biting wit and outrageous humor had brought her to the top of her profession. Still Talking is the story of a woman who had - and lost - everything. . . . What happened to Joan Rivers had more to do with being a woman than being a star. Ultimately, she was forced to choose between her husband and her career. . . . Joan stood by her husband and was out of a job. The phones stopped ringing; she was ice cold in the business. She became persona non grata in Hollywood. And finally, far, far worse: Edgar, her husband of twenty-two years, took his own life. Never before has one woman's fight for survival - both personal and professional - been more honestly told. . . . Joan Rivers has indeed survived, and has lived to tell the tale, name the names. Still fighting. Still talking" [from the dust jacket]. Joan Rivers ultimately died in September 2014, aged 81 years old.
