10 Disney Pixar Actors Who Are No Longer With Us

9. Phyllis Diller - A Bug's Life

Who She Was

A legend of comedy and the first female stand-up to become a mainstream success, Phyllis Diller was an eccentric comic and a TV veteran who championed gay rights and plastic surgery. She appeared in more than forty films, innumerable TV shows (a significant number as cameos) and had a successful secondary career as a vocal artist, including appearing on Robot Chicken and Family Guy.

She was still working at the time of her death, appearing as series regular Gladys Pope in The Bold & The Beautiful

Role: Queen

Diller lent her iconic voice to the role of the Queen in A Bug's Life, who becomes central to villain Cutter's plot to exercise his control over the ants. She was sardonic, humorous and warm - everything Diller brought to her other roles.

Died: August 20th, 2012
