Many who knew Judith Belushi-Pisano have paid tribute and honored her memory in the wake of her death. Stephen Bishop, who appeared in “The Blues Brothers,” was among the first to offer his condolences. “I am devastated by the passing of my friend Judy Pisano (Belushi). Her love for her husband John Belushi, his career, and his legacy was unmatched,” he wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “I so enjoyed seeing her at Animal House reunions. My memories of her are filled with warmth and affection. I’ll always cherish them.”
American filmmaker R.J. Cutler, who worked with Judith on the documentary “Belushi,” was also among those who took time to sing her praise. “I couldn’t have loved working with Judy more when we made ‘Belushi.’ She was smart, funny, wise, honest and a blast to spend time with,” he told Variety. “Collaborating with Judy was one of the great experiences of my career, as knowing her stimulated your mind, lifted your spirit and filled your heart. May her memory be a great blessing.”
She is survived by her four children and six grandchildren.
