Who was Andy Kaufman
For those who are curious to know more about his relationship, let us tell you, Kaufman was never married. Maria Bellu-Colonna, his daughter born out of wedlock with a high school girlfriend, was placed for adoption.
In 1992, Bellu-Colonna discovered her biological ancestry and discovered she was Kaufman’s daughter. She quickly made amends with her mother, grandfather, uncle, and aunt.
Lynne Margulies dated Kaufman from 1982 until his death in 1984, after meeting him while working on the film My Breakfast with Blassie.
After studying television in Boston, Kaufman returned to New York City and began performing in comedy clubs. Kaufman gradually developed a one-of-a-kind act that combined stand-up comedy and performance art.
Kaufman quickly rose to prominence in New York as a comedian, which led to appearances on Saturday Night Live, including a renowned debut as Foreign Man, which popularised his trademark “cringe humour” in America.
Later, in the sitcom Taxi, he transformed Foreign Man into Latka Gravas. Nonetheless, aside from costarring in two feature films, In God We Trust and Heartbeeps, Kaufman did not benefit from the extra exposure that came with starring in a hit television show.
Kaufman later began wrestling women in his act and dubbed himself “Inter-Gender Wrestling Champion of the World” a few years later.
When Kaufman first proposed bringing his performance to the New York wrestling territory, the WWF—now WWE—chairman Vince McMahon Sr. rejected the idea. Kaufman finally entered the ring after much deliberation. The wrestling matches and feuds were eventually revealed to be staged.
If you’re unsure, let us make it clear, Kaufman died of lung cancer on May 16, 1984, at the age of 35. Though Kaufman was not a smoker, but he had large-cell carcinoma of the lung, a condition commonly associated with years of cigarette smoking. His net worth stood at $3 million.
