John Ritter, 54, 1948–2003

John Ritter had the pleasure of starring in many outstanding projects on both the big and small screen! Just when people thought his popularity was dipping down, his standout role in ‘Three’s Company’ proved to be a resurgence of sorts.

Sadly, the golden run did not last very long, and after starting work on ‘8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter,’ the talented actor fell ill on the sets. John left for heavenly abode due to heart complications; his wife and kids were deeply saddened by their unexpected loss, as were the fans. We did get a last glimpse of his work, released posthumously!
