Curb Your Enthusiasm and Robin Hood: Men In Tights star dies

Richard Lewis, who played a version of himself in Curb Your Enthusiasm and Prince John in Robin Hood: Men In Tights, has died.

The comedian, who was known for exploring his neuroses in frantic, stream-of-consciousness diatribes while dressed in all-black - prompting his nickname The Prince Of Pain - was 76.

He died at his home in Los Angeles on Tuesday night after suffering a heart attack, his publicist Jeff Abraham said.
