Though no longer a political force thereafter, she stayed feisty. In a 2010 interview with the Chicago Tribune Byrne recalled a time when she was mayor and the comedian John Belushi asked permission to film part of the 1980 movie “The Blues Brothers” in the city. Belushi presented her with a long list of particulars. “He said, ’Wait. We also want to drive a car through the lobby of Daley Plaza. Right through the window,’” Byrne recalled. The site houses municipal offices. “I remember what was in my mind as he said it,” Byne said. “I had the whole 11th Ward against me anyway, and most of Daley’s people against me. They owned this city for years, so when Belushi asked me to drive a car through Daley Plaza, the only thing I could say was, ’Be my guest!’”
