Pisano and Belushi were high-school sweethearts, and they married in 1976, according to People magazine. "John told me you should probably break up with me because I want to be an actor and I'll probably never make any money," she recalled to People in 2020. "But I always thought he'd do well."

Pisano remained married to the "Blues Brothers" star until his death from a drug overdose in 1982 at age 33. Since then, she had worked to protect her late husband's legacy and gave director R.J. Cutler access to his archive for the Showtime documentary "Belushi."

In a conversation with Film Independent, Pisano said that Belushi's drug overdose "really overshadowed his life."

"He was pretty bright, well-read and really politically motivated as a young man," Pisano also told USA TODAY. "His early work was very satirical and smart. Perhaps that got a little lost with 'Animal House' being such a successful film and his character being so different than that. But he was quite a diversified fellow."
