Fond Farewell
Flip Wilson
1933 - - - November 25, 1998
Originally from Jersey City, New Jersey, Flip Wilson went on to become the first successful black host of a TV variety show. One of his most notable characters was Geraldine, and he was dressed in high heels and a minidress and brought his burlesque-type humor to prime-time. He died of liver cancer in his Malibu home with his daughter Michelle by his side at age 64.
