People all over the world are mourning the passing of legendary comedian, actor and Curb Your Enthusiasm<\/a><\/strong><\/em> star Richard Lewis<\/a><\/strong>, and all the attention has renewed an interest in the comedian and his personal life. While he didn’t have any kids, he was married to his lovely wife Joyce Lapinsky<\/a><\/strong>, who he’s been married to for 20 years. So who was she?<\/p>\n

The couple reportedly met in 1998 at an album release party former Beatles drummer Ringo Starr. Lapinsky worked in music publishing at the time and they dated for years until they got engaged in 2004. The married in 2005. <\/p>\n

In a 2007 interview with the Observer<\/a><\/em>, Lewis talked about their first meeting. \u201cIt triggered what she calls \u2018the snake dance,\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cI might as well have been a 9-year-old. I was putting on a show for this woman.\u201d At the time they met, Lewis lived on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood in a house brimming with collectibles.<\/p>\n

Lapinsky told him \u201cI knew that, if I wound up being with you, I would have to have my own home.\u201d She wasn’t kidding. The couple shared two houses, one in L.A. and a cabin in the mountains 80 miles away from the city. They divided their time between both.<\/p>\n

The couple dated for seven years before Lewis decided that Lapinsky should meet his therapist. \u201cIt\u2019s sad\u2014 [I] had no confidence in my ability to select a mate,\u201d he said. When he started complaining to the therapist about something minor that he felt was holding him back from commitment, the therapist put him in his place.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a voice that was almost satanic \u2014 it was so dark and loud that it seemed to echo through the neighborhood \u2014 my therapist screamed at me, \u2018This is as good as it gets!\u2019\u201d Lewis said. \u201cIt shook me to my core.\u201d Lewis’ Curb<\/em> co-star Susie Essman also commented on the couple’s relationship:<\/p>\n

\u201cJoyce has such a stabilizing effect on him,\u201d Essman said. \u201cEverybody is looking for that one person in life who will love you unconditionally, and he\u2019s found that with her. And yet he’s still miserable.” Lapinsky was a producer on the 2014 biopic about Lewis’ domicile called House of a Lifetime: Richard Lewis<\/a><\/em>, and she also worked as a program-development consultant for a nonprofit organization called Urban Farming.<\/p>\n

Here she is in 2008 at the launch of the Urban Farming Food Chain:<\/p>\n
