You would think that there is nothing that Joan Rivers can do to shock any more. She started her career making jokes about abortions, and has made cracks about her husband's suicide. She is famously potty-mouthed (she was thrown off the daytime show Loose Women in 2008 after describing Russell Crowe as a "fucking shit") and there is nothing outrageous that can be said about her extensive cosmetic surgery that she hasn't already said herself.
So it comes as a bit of a shock to find that in person she is so surprisingly quiet. The rasp to her voice that can make her vitriolic and brassy on stage is softer; she seems gentle and excessively polite, offering coffee from a silver pot before sitting down, primly straight-backed, on a sofa in one of the glamorously formal rooms at the Ritz.
