The story of a woman who had - and lost - everything. The story of a woman who worked three decades to reach the top. What then happened to Joan Rivers had more to do with being a woman than with being a star. Ultimately, she was forced to choose between her husband and her career. In the titanic confrontation between her husband and the boss of her TV network Joan stood by her husband and was out of a job. Far worse, Edgar, her husband of 22 years, took his own life. Where did this controversial star find the inner resources to survive without the protection of her husband? With her trademark combination of biting humour and fragility, tough-minded ambition and traditional values, Rivers tells a story of tragedy and eventual triumph with her new TV show.
