the cause of death was Lou Gehrig’s disease, which the writer was first diagnosed with in 2019.
Hendra began writing and performing comedy while a student at Cambridge University, working alongside future members of the Monty Python troupe. In 1964, he and his performing partner, Nick Ullett took their stage act to the United States, where he regularly began performing stand-up comedy, writing and editing for various publications, as well as acting and publishing books.
By 1970 he began writing at the newly founded National Lampoon, created by alumni of The Harvard Lampoon. The following year, he was made managing editor, remaining with the magazine for the better part of the decade. It was the Lampoon’s most successful period, spawning a franchise, complete with books, record albums, film series and more, such as “National Lampoon’s Lemmings.” The theatrical production became an Off Broadway hit featuring cast members Chevy Chase and John Belushi.
However, following the book’s release, Jessica Hendra, Hendra’s daughter from his first marriage, submitted an op-ed essay to The New York Times stating that Hendra had sexually abused her on several occasions when she was a girl, which was not mentioned in his book. While the Times didn’t publish the essay, it assigned an investigative reporter to look into the accusation. A month later the Times published an account of Hendra’s story.
