Steve Buscemi's Wife Jo Andres Dead at Age 65

Over the weekend, news came out that Steve Buscemi's wife, Jo Andres, passed away earlier in the week. She reportedly died on January 7th at the age of 65. She and the director/actor were married for 30 years.

The two met young and married in 1987. Buscemi has mentioned that he penned love songs for her early in their relationship, when she briefly left him to travel to Europe for a month with her ex-boyfriend.

“I was convinced our short romance was over,” he explained. “But when she returned, things heated up again between us. Her name is Jo Andres and we’ve been married now for 17 years. If she ever leaves me, maybe I’ll start writing songs again. But I’d much rather be happy with her than writing sad songs without her."

Andres is survived by her husband and their son, Lucian, who's 29 years old. Her cause of death has yet to be revealed.

TMZ reports Andres' service was held at the couple's Brooklyn home on Tuesday (January 8th) and her burial was the following day. Buscemi's Big Lebowski co-star John Turturro and his cousin, The Sopranos actress Aida Turturro, were reportedly two of 20 present at the intimate funeral.
