Judy Tenuta, Brash ‘Goddess of Love' Comedian, Dies at 72
Judy Tenuta, a brash standup who cheekily styled herself as the"Goddess of Love” and toured with George Carlin as she built her career in the 1980s golden age of comedy, died Thursday. She was 72.
Tenuta died Thursday afternoon at home in Los Angeles, with her family around her, publicist Roger Neal told The Associated Press. “She was a very funny, amazing performer," Neal said, and it was always a “happy time to be around her." Her heart-shaped face, topped by bouffant hair with a flower accent, conveyed an impression of sweet innocence that was quickly shattered by her loud, gravelly delivery and acidic humor, expletives included. The accordion she made part of her act was “an instrument of love and submission,” as she fondly called it.
