  <about><![CDATA[Joan Rivers (born Joan Sandra Molinsky) is an American comedian, actress, talk show host, businesswoman, and celebrity. She is known for her brash manner and loud, raspy voice with a heavy metropolitan New York accent. Rivers is the National Chairwoman of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and is a board member of God's Love We Deliver. Like the ground-breaking Phyllis Diller, Rivers' act relied heavily on poking fun at herself. A typical Rivers joke about her unattractiveness: &quot;I used to stand by the side of the road with a sign: 'Last girl before freeway.'&quot;]]></about>    <gender>female</gender>  <hometown>Brooklyn, New York</hometown>  <born_at>06/08/1933</born_at>
