FILE - Comedian Judy Tenuta arrives at the 2009 Fox Reality Channel Really Awards in Los Angeles on Oct. 13, 2009.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 had claimed her birthdate as Nov. 7, 1965, but she was born in 1949, Neal said. "She was old school so she would never tell her real age, but now that she's gone we can tell her real age," he added. "Devastated to hear of the passing of my dear, dear friend, the lovely Miss Judy Tenuta. I can't believe she's gone," tweeted Weird Al Yankovic, who worked with her on his 1990s TV series and a 2006 music video. "Earth has truly lost a goddess."Tenuta gained national attention in 1987 with "On Location: Women of the Night," a HBO special in which she starred with Ellen DeGeneres, Paula Poundstone and Rita Rudner.
She was a frequent guest on late-night talk shows and game shows and with radio shock jock Howard Stern. Her acting and voiceover credits were eclectic, including appearances on "The Weird Al Show" and "Space Ghost Coast to Coast." She appeared onstage in "The Vagina Monologues" in Los Angeles and Chicago.
Tenuta grew up in the Chicago suburb of Maywood, attending Catholic schools that included one she dubbed "St. Obnoxious and Bondage." She said she was the "isolated, petite flower" - Petite Flower becoming one of her stage nicknames - in a Catholic family that included six brothers.
