Just goes to show cancer doesn't care how rich you are even money can't save someone. I remember when I was going through the cancer deal Godfather said "you got this". That line stuck in my head going through the treatment and when I was on the operating table before being put under.

Richard Lewis, stand-up comic and ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ star, dies at 76
By Nardine Saad, Alexandra Del Rosario
FEB. 28, 2024 UPDATED 3:49 PM PT


(Daniel Prakopcyk / For The Times

Comedian Richard Lewis built a career on making himself a punchline, but in HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm” sincerity was his specialty.

As a fictionalized version of himself, Lewis often injected the long-running cynical comedy with wholesome lines about the decades-long friendship he shared with co-star Larry David. “When I die, I want you to know how much I care about you,” Lewis tells David in a minor squabble about his will during the show’s final season. “You’re my best friend.”

For more than 20 years, Lewis — often appearing in his signature dark clothing and round sunglasses — channeled his bond with David and his self-deprecating humor to become a beloved fixture on the comedy classic. Lewis died Tuesday “peacefully at his home in Los Angeles.” He was 76.

Lewis’ publicist Jeff Abraham confirmed to The Times that the comedian died after suffering a heart attack. “His wife, Joyce Lapinsky, thanks everyone for all the love, friendship and support and asks for privacy at this time,” Abraham said.

HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm” is just a part of Lewis’ legacy, which included a stand-up comedy career spanning decades, a memoir about his sobriety and appearances in Mel Brooks’ “Robin Hood: Men in Tights” and “Leaving Las Vegas.”

In April 2023, Lewis detailed his Parkinson’s disease diagnosis, which derailed his decades-long stand-up comedy career. “After 50 years almost, I’m gonna just call it quits,” he said at the time.

“R.I.P. to a true original @TheRichardLewis,” comedian Bill Burr wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “An absolutely fearless comedian who did and said what he wanted.”

“His comedic brilliance, wit and talent were unmatched,” HBO said in a statement shared with Variety. “Richard will always be a cherished member of the HBO and ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ families, our heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends and all the fans who could count on Richard to brighten their days with laughter.”

Lewis began his career in his 20s performing at New York’s Improv and was taken under the wing of David Brenner, who was known as the king of observational comedy. He found his footing in dark comedy, bringing his struggles with alcoholism, drug addiction and his broken family to the stage.

“It’s great to be here, it’s great to be in a city that means more to me than my family, quite frankly,” he said to welcome audiences during a set in 1990.

Aptly known as the “Prince of Pain,” Lewis wasn’t shy about letting audiences know about his afflictions. His TV specials played into this persona, including “I’m Doomed,” “I’m In Pain,” “I’m Exhausted,” preceding his days on “Curb.”

Lewis gained popularity following appearances on several shows including “Late Night with David Letterman” and “The Howard Stern Show” in the ‘80s and ‘90s. Before he was on “Curb Your Enthusiasm” in 2000, Lewis appeared as a fictionalized version of himself in “Diary of a Young Comic,” a TV movie about the L.A. comedy scene, and films “That’s Adequate,” “Once Upon a Crime...” and “Game Day.”

In “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” Lewis is a loyal friend to David, constantly going along with his petty grievances against those around him. However, in real life, that friendship took time. Lewis and David first met as preteens in a childhood sports camp, Lewis said in a 2023 interview with the Spectator. “I disliked him intensely. He was cocky, he was arrogant,” he said.

“We were arch rivals. I couldn’t wait for the camp to be over just to get away from Larry. I’m sure he felt the same way,” he said.

Reconnecting in the New York comedy scene years later, Lewis and David gave friendship another shot — paving the way for decades of on-screen bickering and memorable exchanges.

“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,” David said in a statement shared with the Associated Press. “He had that rare combination of being the funniest person and also the sweetest. But today he made me sob and for that I’ll never forgive him.”

Lewis also appeared in 2012’s “Vamps” and 2014’s “She’s Funny That Way,” as well as the TV series “Anything But Love,” “Daddy Dearest,” “Hiller and Diller,” “7th Heaven,” “’Til Death” and “Blunt Talk.”

“I went into this for psychological reasons,” Lewis told The Times in 2014. “My family — it wasn’t an abusive family — they meant well, but they were in their own world.”

Lewis grew up in New York and his father died at a young age. He said he felt isolated by his mother and disconnected from his two siblings: His sister had four children before Lewis turned 19. He also had a brother, whom he said “was off in the Village reading ‘Howl’ on the street corners.”

He began his stand-up career after graduating from Ohio State University in 1969. He entered the comedy circuit around the same time that Jay Leno, Freddie Prinze and Billy Crystal did.

“I was 23, and all sorts of people were coming in and out and watching me, like Steve Allen and Bette Midler. David Brenner certainly took me under his wing. To drive home to my little dump in New Jersey often knowing that Steve Allen said, ‘You got it,’ that validation kept me going in a big, big way,” Lewis said.

As he wrote in “The Other Great Depression: How I’m Overcoming on a Daily Basis at Least a Million Addictions and Dysfunctions and Finding a Spiritual (Sometimes) Life,” Lewis was 44 when he was hospitalized after suffering from a lethal mix of alcohol and drugs. He decided to get sober in 1995, which according to his biography, he was “especially grateful for.”

In 2015, he published his second book, “Reflections from Hell: Richard Lewis’ Guide On How Not To Live,” with his longtime friend, artist Carl Nicholas Titolo, who provided the illustrations.

Stars including “Daily Show” host Jon Stewart, Albert Brooks and Jamie Lee Curtis, comedian Paul Feig and “Curb” co-star Ben Stiller paid tribute to Lewis, remembering his contributions to the comedy scene.

“RIP Richard Lewis. A brilliantly funny man who will missed by all. The world needed him now more than ever,” wrote “Curb” co-star Brooks.

“Sleep well Richard…I’ll try to take good care of our face,” celebrity lookalike Stewart tweeted.

Curtis, who led the TV series “Anything but Love” with Lewis, shared two tributes on Instagram, remembering the “deep and freaking funny comedian.”

“He also is the reason I am sober. He helped me. I am forever grateful for him for the act of grace alone,” she wrote. “He found love with Joyce and that, of course, besides his sobriety, is what mattered most to him. I’m weeping as I write this.”

“I never met a kinder, more empathetic comedy genius. He was so funny. And deep,” tweeted actor-director Ben Stiller, who said Lewis was a friend to him and his parents, Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara. “As a kid i remember seeing him at the Improv and how nice he was to me and my sister. Over the years he would always reach out with support and love or a kind word - sometimes out of the blue. It always felt special to hear from him. I feel very lucky to have known him over all these years. I’m sad I won’t see him again.”

Akira Toriyama, ‘Dragon Ball’ Manga Creator, Dies at 68
By J. Kim Murphy Mar 7, 2024 8:18pm PT


STR/JIJI Press/AFP via Getty Images


Akira Toriyama, the highly influential Japanese manga artist who created the medium-defining franchise “Dragon Ball” in the 1980’s and shepherded its growth as it became a global phenomenon, died March 1 due to an acute subdural hematoma. He was 68.

Toriyama’s death was confirmed by the official “Dragon Ball” website, which posted a statement honoring the creator on Thursday evening.

“It’s our deep regret that he still had several works in the middle of creation with great enthusiasm. Also, he would have many more things to achieve,” reads the statement from Bird Studio, which includes the disclaimer that it has been machine-translated. “He has left many manga titles and works of art to this world. Thanks to the support of so many people around the world, he has been able to continue his creative activities for over 45 years. We hope that Akira Toriyama’s unique world of creation continues to be loved by everyone for a long time to come.”

Toriyama found early success in the manga industry with the creation of the popular “Dr. Slump” series in the late ’70s, winning a Shogakukan Manga Award in 1981 and supervising two subsequent anime adaptations. However, that acclaim was nothing compared to “Dragon Ball,” a continuation of his kung fu movie-influenced “Dragon Boy” one-shot. First published as a serial in 1984, “Dragon Ball” has grown to become one of the best-selling manga series ever. It’s also credited as popularizing the medium of manga across the globe, further bolstered by its various anime adaptations’ enduring audience in Western countries.

An artist who largely worked outside the public spotlight, Toriyama’s work extended beyond “Dragon Ball” throughout his life, especially after taking a smaller creative role with the property in the ’90s. His other credits include various one-shot manga runs, as well as character designs for video game classics like “Chrono Trigger” and the “Dragon Quest” series.

Toriyama returned to “Dragon Ball” in the 2010’s, with the manga artist receiving a screenplay credit on the film “Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods,” then the first “Dragon Ball” feature adaptation in nearly 20 years. He has stayed involved with the property throughout its recent run of film productions, including the most recent, 2022’s “Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero.”

A private funeral service has already been held for Toriyama’s family. He is survived by his wife, Yoshimi Katō, and their two children.

Steve Lawrence, Grammy-winning singer and partner of Eydie Gormé, dies at 88
In addition to being half of Steve & Eydie, Lawrence was an actor with credits including "The Blues Brothers" and "The Nanny."
By Shania Russell published on March 7, 2024

Steve Lawrence, the Grammy- and Emmy-winning performer who dazzled as a nightclub and concert singer with his late wife, Eydie Gormé, died Thursday from complications due to Alzheimer's disease. He was 88.

"My dad was an inspiration to so many people," the couple's son David said in a statement shared with PEOPLE. "But, to me, he was just this charming, handsome, hysterically funny guy who sang a lot. Sometimes alone and sometimes with his insanely talented wife."

David continued, "I am so lucky to have had him as a father and so proud to be his son. My hope is that his contributions to the entertainment industry will be remembered for many years to come."

Born Sidney Liebowitz in 1935, Lawrence expressed an interest in singing from a young age. His start in show business came after winning a talent competition on Arthur Godfrey's CBS show, leading him to sign with King Records as a teenager.

Lawrence was 17 when he first crossed paths with Gormé in New York, but it wasn't until 1953 that they became friends while performing duets on the Steve Allen's talk show, Tonight. Performing together as Steve & Eydie, they quickly garnered acclaim.

At the height of their popularity throughout the '60s and '70s, they appeared on various variety programs, including The Ed Sullivan Show, The Carol Burnett Show, The Danny Kaye Show, The Judy Garland Show, and The Julie Andrews Hour.

They married in 1957 in Las Vegas, a city where they would become nightlife staples, headlining Caesars Palace, the Sands, the Sahara and more. Over the course of their career, they were named Musical Variety Act of the Year by the Las Vegas Entertainment Awards on four separate occasions.

With and without Gormé, Lawrence released dozens of albums in his lifetime. He topped the Billboard Hot 100 in 1963 with the ballad "Go Away Little Girl," and later made the top 10 with songs including "Party Doll," "Pretty Blue Eyes" and "Portrait of My Love."

Also an actor, Lawrence earned a Best Actor nod at the 1964 Tony Awards for his performance as Sammy Glick in What Makes Sammy Run? He later played Maury Sline in The Blues Brothers, a role he reprised in the sequel, Blues Brothers 2000. He played the father of Fran Drescher‘s titular character on CBS' The Nanny and guest-starred on various other shows, including Sanford and Son, Frasier, Hot in Cleveland, and Two and a Half Men.

With Gormé, Lawrence made several records, including the 1960 album We Got Us, which won them a Grammy. The duo also produced and starred in several television specials, winning an Emmy for 1979's Steve & Eydie Celebrate Irving Berlin. In the '80s, they staged a series of sold-out Carnegie Hall concerts.

Despite also pursuing solo projects and gigs, the duo continued performing together until Gormé died in 2013.

"Her range was better than three octaves," Lawrence told the Los Angeles Times of his late wife in 2014. "She could sing with almost anybody. But she enjoyed singing with me. We were attached at the hip — Steve-and-Eydie. It was like we were one person — to be married that long."

Eric Carmen, the Raspberries frontman and 'All By Myself' singer, dies at 74
He also penned hits including “Hungry Eyes,” “Almost Paradise,” and “Never Gonna Fall in Love Again.”
By Shania Russell Published on March 12, 2024


Michael Ochs Archives/Getty

Eric Carmen, the musician who became a ‘70s icon as the frontman of the Raspberries and singer of hits “All By Myself” and “Hungry Eyes,” has died. He was 74.

News of the singer-songwriter's death was announced Monday on his official website, with a statement from his wife, Amy Carmen.

“It is with tremendous sadness that we share the heartbreaking news of the passing of Eric Carmen,” she wrote. “Our sweet, loving and talented Eric passed away in his sleep, over the weekend. It brought him great joy to know, that for decades, his music touched so many and will be his lasting legacy.”

She added, “Please respect the family’s privacy as we mourn our enormous loss. ‘Love Is All That Matters… Faithful and Forever.'”

The final quote is a callback to “Love is all That Matters,” a track from his 1977 solo album “Boats Against the Current.” No cause of death was disclosed.

Born Aug. 11, 1949, Carmen was raised in the eastern suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio where he forged a love for music at such a young age, that his parents enrolled him at the Cleveland Institute of Music at just 2 and a half. He began taking violin lessons at 6. As a teenager, he taught himself to play the guitar and joined his first band.

After bouncing between bands, Carmen eventually landed with the Raspberries in 1967, a pop rock band in the style of The Beatles and The Who, that quickly rose to acclaim. Members of the classic lineup include Wally Bryson, Jim Bonfanti, and Dave Smalley. Their hits would include “Go All the Way,” “I Wanna Be With You,” “Let’s Pretend,” “Tonight” and “Overnight Sensation." Despite finding their fanbase, the group earned some ire for being too pop-centric.

"Critics liked us, girls liked us, but their 18-year-old, album-buying brothers said ‘no,’” Carmen wrote in his website biography. “We got frustrated and imploded. Looking back, we might have been the very first ‘alternative’ band. We were the alternative to long boring flute solos and all the other stuff people thought was so ‘heavy’ back then… but alas, we collapsed under the pressure.”

After the band split in the mid-’70s, Carmen took steps to establish himself as a solo artist finding success with songs such as “All by Myself"— which Celine Dion would bring to even greater heights with her 1996 cover. Along with being a radio hit, the song was featured in films including Clueless, Almost Famous, and Bridget Jones's Diary. Carmen’s additional hits include “Make Me Lose Control,” “Never Gonna Fall in Love Again,” “Hey Deanie” (penned for Shaun Cassidy), and the Dirty Dancing song “Hungry Eyes.”

Another of Carmen’s memorable tunes was written for a movie soundtrack too: he co-wrote the Footloose love theme “Almost Paradise,” which earned him his sole Grammy nomination when the soundtrack competed for Best Album of Original Score Written for a Motion Picture.

While Carmen declined to join the Raspberries when they reunited in 1999 with the EP, Raspberries Refreshed, he did share the stage with them in 2004 for a performance at Cleveland’s House of Blues.

“People used to ask me ‘Why don’t you guys get together and just play one gig?’ Because it takes the same amount of preparation for one good show as a six-month tour,” Carmen told EW at the time. “I never wanted to be the guy to put this band back on a stage and pop everyone’s bubble and have them go home saying ‘Oh, they weren’t that good.’”

Together, the Raspberries briefly toured again in 2005. The group’s final performance together was at Cleveland’s KeyBank State Theatre in December 2007.

Adult film star Sophia Leone dead at 26
Story by Richard Pollina



Adult film star Sophia Leone has died after she was found “unresponsive” in her New Mexico apartment on March 1 as police investigate her cause of death, according to family.

She was 26 years old.

“Sophia was a beloved Daughter, Sister, granddaughter, Niece, and Friend,” Leone’s stepfather Mike Romero wrote on a GoFundMe page, set up to honor the actress.

“She had a deep love for all animals, specifically her 3 pets. She enjoyed traveling and always found ways to make everyone around her smile.”

The Los Angeles-based modeling agency, 101 Modeling, which handles some of Leone’s bookings, said that the adult film star’s death was being investigated as a “robbery and homicide.”

“To be clear, Sophia death is being investigated as a robbery and homicide,” @101modelinginc wrote on X Saturday.

Romero also noted on her GoFundMe page that the family was “Seeking Justice for Sophia.”

The Post has reached out to the Albuquerque police for comment.

Brian Berke, who runs Leone’s Florida-based agency, AMA Modeling, expressed his heartbreak over Leone’s death

“At 18 years old you started with me at AMA and now at 26 I have to say goodbye,” Berke wrote on X.

“We had such an Amazing Bond. Always reminding each other how much we cared. I was supposed to be your guardian angel. A piece of me is gone. I love you, Sophia.”

The Miami-born porn star broke into the industry in 2014 and has starred in over 80 films, her IMDb page shows.

“I’m speechless & heartbroken I can’t believe what I’m seeing,” Adult film star Gina Valentine wrote on X.

“I can’t understand why you out of all people .. and I can only hope you we’re strong and brave your last moments here .. I pray that you weren’t in pain.”

“REST IN PEACE SOPHIA LEON,” wrote adult film actress Valeri Casteele. “You were so so kind to me just one of the most all around absolutely stunning people with a beautiful heart. we will miss you so dearly.”
