18. Joan And Melissa Rivers
The late Joan Rivers was graced with many things – sharp wits, sassy looks, an unparalleled sense of humor, and her controversial comedic persona.
She was alternately self-deprecating or sharply acerbic, particularly toward politicians and pompous celebrities. She was an actress, comedian, producer, writer, and television host during her long life, and she was graced with yet another gift – her beautiful daughter Melissa.
The two were always symbiotically close, but they got even more connected when Melissa came to live with her mother in Los Angeles while they were filming their reality show Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best. Melissa stayed in the guest room that was once a garage and argued the most with Joan about the lighting – Joan insisted on softer lighting with the explanation that her house is not “postwar Poland.”
