Judy Tenuta died on Oct. 6 from ovarian cancer.
, known to her fans as “The Love Goddess” and “Aphrodite of the Accordion,” died of ovarian cancer on Oct. 6 in Los Angeles. She was 72.
Tenuta co-starred with Bruce Vilanch in the indie “Sister Mary,” and had small roles in “Gibsonburg” and Hilary and Haylie Duff’s “Material Girls.” Her TV work included appearances in “General Hospital,” “Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide” and “Corey in the House.” In addition to playing minor characters on “The Weird Al Show,” she was a regular in Al Yankovic’s comedy shorts and music videos.
By the mid-1980s, Tenuta had gained notice for a series of television ads for MTV and Diet Dr Pepper and moved to Los Angeles, but continued to perform on national tours, making visits to the Chicago circuit. Born in Oak Park, a suburb of Chicago, on Nov. 7, 1949, her interest in comedy began when she took a class with the Chicago improv group The Second City and shortly after began opening for other comedians in Chicago throughout the 1970s.
