Richard Lewis, one of the greatest standup comedians in history, has died. He was 76 years old. The cause of death was a heart attack. Deadline confirmed Lewis’ death with his publicist, Jeff Abraham. Lewis had previously announced in April of last year that he had been diagnosed several years earlier with Parkinson’s disease. “That was about two years ago,” Lewis said at the time. “But luckily I got it late in life and they say you progress very slowly if at all, and I’m on the right meds. So I’m cool.” READ MORE: Every New Movie and Show on Max This Month Born in Brooklyn in 1947, Lewis star...
