Richard Lewis' Wife Joyce Lapinsky Breaks Silence Following Comedian's Death


The 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' star died Tuesday night after suffering a heart attack. He was 76.

"His wife, Joyce Lapinsky, thanks everyone for all the love, friendship and support and asks for privacy at this time," the statement added.
