Richard Lewis, dies at 76

[fords8]

Richard Lewis, the darkly funny, perennially black-clad comedian and actor known for playing a semi-fictionalized version of himself on HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” died Feb. 27 at his home in Los Angeles. He was 76.

His publicist, Jeff Abraham, said Mr. Lewis died after a heart attack. Mr. Lewis announced in April that he was retiring from stand-up comedy after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease about two years earlier and dealing with four “back-to-back-to-back-to-back” surgeries for his back, shoulder and hip.

I liked his stuff he has done. To bad. RIP!
