Judy Belushi Pisano, the widow of legendary comedian John Belushi who spent decades preserving and protecting his legacy, died Friday after a long battle with cancer.
She was 73. News of Pisano’s passing was reported July 6 by the MV Times news outlet covering Martha’s Vineyard, where Pisano spent most of her later years. Her death was also confirmed on the official John Belushi Instagram account. Pisano was married to Belushi, the larger-than-life star of “Saturday Night Live,” “Animal House” and “The Blues Brothers,” from the 1970s until his death from an overdose in 1982. The two met while in high school in Wheaton, Illinois.
There was no one like her. Judy made everyone feel loved. She was nonjudgmental, light, funny, and pure. You could be truly yourself around her, that alone was a gift.” Pisano worked as a radio producer in New York in the mid-1970s when her husband’s star began to rise with his work with the Second City comedy troupe and when he tapped in 1975 as part of the inaugural cast of “Saturday Night Live.
