Judy Tenuta became nationally known in 1987 for her first HBO comedy special “Women of the Night”, starring alongside Ellen DeGeneres, Rita Rudner, and Paula Poundstone. She’s a two time Grammy nominee, winner of “Best Female Stand-Up Comic” at the American Comedy Awards in ’88, toured with legendary comedian George Carlin, and made dozens of notable MTV appearances. Written and directed by Taylor Blackwell. Starring Taylor Blackwell and Alan Tudyk. This film a love letter to the self-proclaimed “love goddess”, and was made in close collaboration with her estate, family, and friends. Judy’s real costumes and accordion were used in the film.
