@hsk_studi0: John Ritter died on his daughter’s 5th birthday. On September 11, 2003, he collapsed on the set of “8 Simple Rules.” Doctors first thought it was a heart attack. It turned out to be an aortic dissection, a tear in the main artery of the heart. He died that night, at just 54. That same day, his little girl Stella turned five. John had two great loves in his life. His first wife was actress Nancy Morgan. They married in 1977, at the height of “Three’s Company,” and had three children: Jason, Carly and Tyler. After almost 20 years, they divorced. Then came Amy Yasbeck, his co-star from “Problem Child.” She was 14 years younger. Their daughter Stella was born in 1998, and they married the following year. They had only four years as husband and wife. After his death, Amy turned her grief into a mission. She started a foundation to teach people about the condition that took John, so other families wouldn’t lose someone the same way. Today Jason Ritter is a successful actor, just like his dad. And Stella’s birthday will forever share a date with the day her father died. 💔
