This was primarily due to his hilarious turn as Jack Tripper on the campy and light-hearted sitcom, “Three’s Company.” But unlike many stars who reach the heights of TV stardom once, and are never heard from again, John Ritter was able to maintain a very successful career after that show ended. He acted in TV shows, in films, and on stage in the years after Three’s Company was over. And perhaps most notably, he had another hit show on his hands in the early 2000s, ‘8 Simple Rules… for Dating My Teenage Daughter.” The show was doing very well and was well received overall. It was primed to take off in bigger and better ways, thanks in part to the amazing comedic performance of John Ritter. But, tragically, it was on the set of this show that, in 2003, Ritter experienced an aortic dissection that ultimately led to his untimely death. So check out this video to hear about his friendship with Henry Winkler, how they met, and what they said to each other mere moments before John Ritter was rushed to the hospital, where he died later that day. It’s a sad and tragic story that reminds us all about how tenuous life can be. And it also shows the true power of friendship, even among TV’s biggest and most talented stars!
