If ever a Hollywood friendship was destined to be, it might have been the one between the comics Larry David and Richard Lewis, who died from a heart attack on Tuesday at 76.
That would set the tone that would define their friendship — and their onscreen relationship — for the rest of their lives.
“I disliked him intensely,” Lewis told The Spectator last year, calling the young David cocky and arrogant.
“We became instant best friends,” David said of Lewis during that 2002 interview, at the Paley Center for Media.
In 2010, talking with Howard Stern, Lewis said, “When I became a comic, he loved my work, and I loved his work.”
