I remember a man who was loyal, kind and completely transparent about the ups and downs in his life. He's one of the true comics who has the ability, class and style to make you laugh so hard you forget the hard things in your life. Most importantly, he reminds us it's ok to forgive yourself. Being human and making mistakes was ok too. Rest in power.

I have childhood memories of watching Richard on The Ed Sullivan Show on Sunday nights. I have followed him for most of my life. Whenever he was in movies or television, I made time to watch him. He was a consummate comedian, and the master of self-deprecating wit. I will miss him terribly. Godspeed to him and his family.

Celebrating the life of a very talented actor/comedian Richard Lewis. My Deepest Sympathy Condolences To The Richard Lewis Family, Hollywood Industry.
Anything But Love is an American sitcom that aired on ABC from March 7, 1989, to June 3, 1992, spanning four seasons and 56 episodes. The Show Stars Richard Lewis aka Marty Gold along with his Co-Star Jamie Lee Curtis aka Hannah Miller, Coworkers at a Chicago Magazine with amutual romantic attraction who struggle to keep their relationship strictly professional. I truly remember watching Anything But Love I love that show, which Jamie Lee, and Richard brought so much chemistry and a show and they made us laugh with the story lines, coming homes every day and thanks for the memories.
Richard Lewis we miss and never be forgotten and his legacy will still live on Tv shows, and movies.
We all know that he is in a good place now, he has reunited with the people that he worked with, doing his Comedy still. My thoughts, prayers are with you. How about that?
