TV Star John Ritter Dies of Heart Problem 
22 minutes ago  
By RYAN PEARSON, Associated Press Writer 
LOS ANGELES - John Ritter (news), whose portrayal of the bumbling but
lovable Jack Tripper helped make the madcap comedy series "Three's
Company" a smash hit in the 1970s, died of a heart problem after
falling ill on the set of his new television sit-com. He was 54. 
Ritter became ill Thursday while working on ABC's "8 Simple Rules ...
For Dating My Teenage Daughter," the hit show that became the actor's
big television comeback, said Susan Wilcox, his assistant of 22 years.
The cause of his death was a dissection of the aorta, the result of an
unrecognized flaw in his heart, said his publicist, Lisa Kasteler. He
died at Providence St. Joseph Medical Center shortly after 10 p.m.
Thursday. 
Ritter, a Southern California native who would have turned 55 on
Wednesday, came to prominence for his role in "Three's Company" and
had appeared in more than 25 television movies, a number of films and
on Broadway. 
He made his successful return to sitcom acting last year with "8
Simple Rules" last year. The show was scheduled to begin its second
season Sept. 23. 
At the Burbank hospital where he died, Ritter was accompanied by
producers and co-workers, his wife, Amy Yasbeck (news), and
23-year-old son Jason, Wilcox said. He is survived by three other
children. 
"It's just stunning, unbelievable," said Wilcox. "Everybody loved John
Ritter. Everybody loved working with him. ... Whatever set he was
working on, he made it a very fun place." 
ABC released a statement saying: "All of us at ABC, Touchstone
Television and The Walt Disney Company are shocked and heartbroken at
the terrible news of John's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with
his wife and children at this very difficult time." 
Ritter was the youngest son of Western film star and country musician
Tex Ritter (news) and actress Dorothy Fay. He graduated from Hollywood
High School and earned a degree in drama from the University of
Southern California. 
"I was the class clown, but I was also student body president in high
school," he told The Associated Press in a 1992 interview. "I had my
serious side — I idolized Bobby Kennedy, he was my role model. But so
was Jerry Lewis (news)." 
Ritter's first steady job was his role as a minister in television's
"The Waltons." 
With "Three's Company," his career took off. His performances included
1996's Oscar-winning drama "Sling Blade" and a Broadway run in Neil
Simon's "The Dinner Party." He received an Emmy and other awards for
his "Three's Company" role and was honored by the Los Angeles Music
Center in June with a lifetime achievement award. 
"Three's Company," about a bachelor sharing an apartment with two
attractive women, Suzanne Somers (news) and Joyce DeWitt (news), was
considered racy during its run from 1977 to 1984. And Ritter worried
about falling into a typecasting trap after the show ended. 
"I would get scripts about 'a young swinging bachelor on the make,'
and I said 'No, I've done that,'" he told the AP in the 1992
interview. "Or they'd say, 'You're living alone and ...' 
"What I was looking for in my time off was something a little bit
different, a little serious, or funny in a different way." 
Ritter described his time on the show as "an education" in quick-study
acting. 
"When the curtain went up, no matter how long you've studied or
haven't studied at all, you had to answer to the audience. We didn't
do retakes. If there was a (microphone) boom in the shot, so be it,"
he said. 
Ritter later starred in the television series "Hooperman" and the
early 1990s political comedy "Hearts Afire." He received two Emmy
nominations for his PBS role as the voice of "Clifford the Big Red
Dog" on the animated series. 
His TV movie appearances included "Unnatural Causes," Stephen King's
"It" and "Chance of a Lifetime." 
Ritter won popularity among independent film directors in recent years
and appeared in films including "Sling Blade" in 1996 and "Tadpole" in
2002, as well as the new feature "Manhood." He appears alongside Billy
Bob Thornton (news) in the scheduled November release from Miramax
"Bad Santa." 
He was married from 1977 to 1996 to Nancy Morgan, the mother of his
three oldest children, Jason, Carly and Tyler. He married actress
Yasbeck in 1999, the mother of Stella.
