Joan Rivers Biography Set for 2016
Published at
Charles Sykes/Bravo(NEW YORK) — Fans of Joan Rivers can remember the late comedy icon as Little, Brown & Co. announced that they’re set to publish a biography about her life.
According to Deadline.com, veteran journalist Leslie Bennetts will pen the currently untitled biography.
“Joan Rivers’ life story was…characterized by triumphant highs and devastating lows, one that is both wildly entertaining and deeply moving,” Bennetts said in a statement. “But Rivers’ career was also enormously significant in American cultural history, breaking down barriers for women in television and comedy and continually redefining the acceptable boundaries of truth-telling for women in public life.”
“It’s hard to imagine a more compelling subject for a book — or one that would be more fun,” the Vanity Fair contributing editor continued.
Rivers’ biography will hit shelves in 2016.
Rivers died September 4, after doctors put her in a medically-induced coma after she went into cardiac arrest during a endoscopy procedure.
