Comedian Richard Lewis, who died February 27 at 76, had a 40-plus year career in film and TV, starting with Diary of a Young Comic, a 1979 TV movie in which he played a fictionalized version of himself.

He went on to his own TV series Anything But Love opposite Jamie Lee Curtis, roles in 7th Heaven, Til Death, Blunt Talk and, of course, his long run on Curb Your Enthusiasm.
