Actor, producer, and widow of the late great comedian John Belushi, Judy Belushi-Pisano, died at the age of 73, according to her family. Judy was well-known for her major contributions to John Belushi’s comedy legacy. She was a key player in classic films including “National Lampoon’s Animal House” and “The Blues Brothers.”

Through John Belushi’s Facebook page, the Belushi and Pisano families acknowledged Judy’s passing and expressed their deep sorrow. They emphasised Judy’s imaginative partnership with Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi, which gave rise to “The Blues Brothers,” an enduring celebration of laughter and music.

Judy, who was born in Wheaton, Illinois, on January 7, 1952, got to know John Belushi when she was a student at Wheaton Central High School. In 1973, they relocated to New York, where Judy started off as an art assistant before rising to the position of associate producer for “The National Lampoon Radio Hour.” Before John’s tragic death in 1982 from a heroin overdose at the age of 36, the pair was married in 1976.

Judy committed her entire life to upholding John Belushi’s legacy. She was a key contributor to the 2020 Showtime documentary “John Belushi” and co-wrote his biography. Judy subsequently wed Victor Pisano, a writer and director, and the two of them oversaw the Belushi Pisano Gallery in Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts.

Family statements attest to Judy’s influence beyond her talents to humour and movies, as well as her kindness and acceptance. She has left a lasting legacy by preserving the popularity of John Belushi and ‘The Blues Brothers’.]
