‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ actor dies at 76

Richard Lewis, the comic and star of “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” has died. He was 76.

The Post can confirm that Lewis passed peacefully Tuesday night at his Los Angeles home after suffering a heart attack, his publicist Jeff Abraham of Jonas Public Relations said.

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

Lewis announced in April that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and retired from stand-up comedy.

“I have Parkinson’s disease, but I’m under a doctor’s care and everything is cool,” the veteran actor-comic said in a video posted to X a the time. “I’m finished with standup. I’m just focusing on writing and acting from here on out.”

“But you know, the last three and a half years I’ve had sort of a rocky time,” the “Leaving Las Vegas” actor lamented. “And people have said, ‘Gee I haven’t heard from you, are you still touring?’ Well, here’s really what happened.”

Lewis explained that his troubles began three and a half years ago when he was in the middle of a comedy tour and decided that he “didn’t want to be on the road” anymore.

“I said, ‘You know, I’m at the top of my game,’ ” the comic described. “After 50 years almost, I’m just going to call it quits.’ And I felt great about that. And then out of the blue, the s–t hit the fan.”
