  Right about this time,  I worked at a dinner theater in Ohio while attending college. Ms Vance was the star of the dinner show (can't remember the name of the production).  She was always ready early before any performance started, and we always had a lull just after setup when the guests arrived and were seated, so she scooted back to the kitchen area by the coffee machine where we waited. She introduced herself to all the kitchen staff, learned all of our names and was just a delight to talk with while she had, of course, a cup of coffee with us!  We teased her that it wasn't Maxwell House, just a wholesale restaurant brand that was made by the gallons.  It was good coffee, though.  Since most of us were college or high school students, she encouraged us to complete our educations.  Always smiling, in a bright, good mood and a quick laugh, just a wonderful woman!

  There was a time when Joan Rivers had to sleep in her car in Greenwich Village, borrow a friend's apartment to wash and change and  then rush off to do yet another show for a few lousy bucks.  She was a fighter.
