THREE’S COMPANY STAR JOYCE DEWITT REMEMBERS HER FINAL NIGHT WITH JOHN RITTER
Renowned for her role in “Three’s Company,” Joyce DeWitt took a 12-year break from Hollywood after the show ended but made a successful return to acting, still stunning at 74. Born on April 23, 1949, in Wheeling, West Virginia, DeWitt showed a passion for acting from childhood, making her stage debut at 13. She graduated from Ball State University in 1972, aiming to work in New York theater.
In New York, DeWitt faced tough competition, leading to a prolonged hiatus where she explored spirituality. She returned to acting in 1995, landing minor roles in TV series and movies while her portrayal of Janet Wood in “Three’s Company” continued to inspire fans.
Her break from Hollywood stemmed from disillusionment with the industry’s values. In 2011, she starred in an off-Broadway production, feeling it fulfilled a lifelong dream. Despite the hiatus, DeWitt maintained a strong bond with co-star John Ritter until his passing in 2003.
DeWitt continued acting in various projects, displaying her talent and beauty. Despite not having children or marriage, she remains dedicated to her career, with an estimated net worth of $4 million. Her role in “Three’s Company” remains a significant source of pride, bringing joy to audiences even after 30 years. Now 74, DeWitt’s return to acting is warmly welcomed by fans, showcasing her enduring talent.
