Hollywood royalty Jamie Lee Curtis was overcome with emotion during a recent interview as she fondly remembered her dear friend, the legendary comedian Richard Lewis. The pair, whose friendship spanned decades, shared an unbreakable bond both on and off screen.
Curtis, fighting back tears, described Lewis as a "singular human being" whose unique comedic genius and profound kindness left an indelible mark on her life. Their friendship, famously forged on the set of the hit sitcom Anything But Love, evolved into one of the most enduring relationships in showbusiness.
A Friendship Forged in Laughter
The actress recounted how their initial professional relationship quickly blossomed into a deep and abiding personal friendship. "We started as colleagues, but very quickly became family," she shared, her voice thick with emotion. Curtis highlighted Lewis's incredible integrity and loyalty, qualities she cherished deeply.
Remembering a Comedy Legend
Richard Lewis, celebrated for his neurotic, self-deprecating humour and iconic all-black wardrobe, passed away peacefully at his Los Angeles home in February after suffering a heart attack. His career, which skyrocketed after his 1980s stand-up specials and was cemented by his role on Curb Your Enthusiasm, made him a beloved figure worldwide.
Curtis's heartfelt tribute serves as a powerful testament to the man behind the comedy—a generous, kind, and profoundly thoughtful individual whose legacy extends far beyond the stage and screen.
