JOAN RIVERS revealed her inner torment in a series of Exclusive ENQUIRER interviews that lift the veil behind the laffs.
“THIS is the darkest hour of my life.”
That’s what Joan Rivers told The National ENQUIRER after her 62-year-old husband Edgar Rosenberg committed suicide in 1987, depressed over his failing health and heart issues.
In a series of extremely candid ENQUIRER interviews over the years, Joan never hid behind her funny-lady exterior.
She had been married to Edgar for 22 years when on a business trip to Philadelphia he overdosed on sedatives.
Joan later told a friend she blamed herself for her husband’s death, saying, “It’s my fault,” believing she shouldn’t have let him travel alone 2,500 miles from their Los Angeles home.
