John Belushi’s official Instagram, run by his estate, paid tribute to the comedian’s widow, saying, “There was no one like her.”
“Judy made everyone feel loved,” the post read. “She was nonjudgmental, light, funny and pure. You could be truly yourself around her, that alone was a gift.”
The post acknowledged her “unwavering dedication and creative genius” in the creation of the Blues Brothers, a blues and revue band originally led by Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi.
Belushi died in 1982 at age 33 from a drug overdose.
