Item Description
The winner will receive Beyond the Spotlight - On the Road With Phyllis Diller.
Avenue one hot September afternoon, she didn’t know what to expect. “Ask for
Phyllis Diller,” the employment agent had said.
Curious as much as
nervous, she studied the beautiful house. Three-and-a-half hours later, she
walked away wondering if she’d just stepped into Alice’s Wonderland.
Plane travel, foreign countries, celebrities, and television studios
became part of everyday life—from “This Is Tom Jones” in London to the Glass
Festival in Elwood, Indiana. They shared raucous laughter, mind-numbing boredom,
and occasionally absolute terror. The work relationship became a friendship that
lasted to the day of Phyllis’s death at that same Rockingham mansion in
Brentwood.
Join Robin beyond the spotlight, on the road with Phyllis
Diller, as she recalls her days working as a personal secretary for the beloved,
ground-breaking comedienne.
After leaving Diller's employment,
Skone-Palmer became a “Diller Dustbiter,” a term Diller coined to affectionately
describe her favorite former employees.
The comedienne even endorsed the
memoir (before she died), writing on one of those sticky notes she had used so
often: “Robin Skone-Palmer has written a book—it is FABULOUS!”
Diller’s
son Perry also endorsed the book, saying: “I laughed a lot. What a wonderful,
insightful, bright observation of a another time and place. You are kind and
fair. Thank you for your service to my mother.”
