Steve Buscemi's Wife Jo Andres Passed Away Age 65

In case the name is not familiar, among his film roles Steve was "the funny looking one" in Fargo (where he was so terrific) and The Big Lebowski. From Page Six of the NY Post: (read the entire article on the site - it's quite interesting about Steve too):

"Jo Andres, wife of actor Steve Buscemi, quietly passed away last week, according to TMZ. Andres’ cause of death was not immediately known.

The Brooklynites were married for 30 years, and had son Lucian together in 1990. According to E News!, Andres was a filmmaker, choreographer and artist in her own right."

I was very sad when I read this. He is a great actor and I’d read about his wife before. It sounds like they truly loved and respected each other for decades.

It is painful when a couple that is truly in love is separated by death.

This couple seemed particularly close to each other in spirit and endeavor.

He played Nucky Thompson in Boardwalk Empire as well. But for me, he is a truly remarkable human being. He was a fireman with FDNY ofr 4 years Engine Company 55 Mott Street. After 9/11, he put his niform back on, went to his old station on Mott Street and worked 12 hours shifts for days and days. Amazing man. So sorry to hear of the loss of his wife. So many years, it's as if you lost yourself! May God help him to bear this loss.

I love Steve Buscemi. Such a talented actor. I saw him interviewed a few times, and he seemed like such a likable, down to earth person.

I didn't know anything about his personal life. Very sad to hear about his wife.

I'm also sad that he's lost his wife - sounds like they were a very tight supportive couple. As @Somertime said , I was never more impressed by what a "star" did at 9/11 without publicity.

I think SB is very underrated as an actor. He can do comedy (can't wait to see "Miracle Workers"!), drama "Boardwak Empire" and "Reservoir Dogs" and scary/menacing in "Con Air".

One of my favorite performances was in ""Armageddon".

Wonderful he found an equally talented wife with which to collaborate.

I was so sorry to read about Steve Buscemi's wife. She appeared to be a talented woman in her own right.

Steve Buscemi can do anything. The first time I remember seeing him was The Sopranos. He was wonderful in the role of Tony's cousin Tony. Yup they had the same name.

He was also in Boardwalk Empire. Those are his two well-known roles, but he was also in a series on AOL called Park Bench. It was mostly ad-libbed and featured one (or both) of his real life brothers as well as different celebrity guests every week, talking around New York City on a park bench that they shlepped from wherever they stored it. It was a little wacky but a lot of fun.

He also appeared in a series called Horace and Pete, starring Louis CK, Edie Falco, Alan Alda, Jessica Lange, and Steven Wright, among others. Steve Buscemi had a great role, as did all the characters. I loved this show having discovered it on either Netflix or Hulu last year. I don't know if it's still around, but if you're a fan of Steve Buscemi's and the rest of the cast, I think you will love it. Just ignore Louis CK if you have to.

I feel so bad that he lost his wife. Prayers to him.
