Richard Lewis died following a heart attack at the age of 76 in LA on Tuesday.
"Curb Your Enthusiasm" star Richard Lewis said he was "doing quite well" amid his battle with Parkinson's disease less than three weeks before his death.
In April of 2023, Richard revealed that he had been living with Parkinson’s disease.
"Richard and I were born three days apart in the same hospital and for most of my life he's been like a brother to me," Larry David said. Lewis and David first met at 12 years old at summer camp.
Richard Lewis, who has died after a heart attack aged 76, was a former stand-up comedian who achieved success poking fun at his neuroses and hypochondria; known for his dark humour, and darker clothing, he played a version of himself in Larry David’s long-running sitcom Curb Your Enthusiasm and was a neurotic Prince John in the Mel Brooks spoof film Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993), sporting a mole that moves around his face.
