@the.american.kitchen: 'Three’s Company' Star Reveals the Incredible Timing of Her Final Night With John Ritter When Joyce DeWitt and John Ritter first met on the set of "Three’s Company," they had an instant connection. Joyce said they could communicate without even speaking, always knowing exactly how the other person was going to move. That deep bond made their final reunion even more meaningful—especially because it almost did not happen. In August 2003, a photographer mentioned to Joyce that John was also staying in New York City. Since cellphones were not yet common, she called his hotel and left a message in his room. Hours later, Joyce was getting ready to walk to Lincoln Center to see a movie. Just as she was about to leave her hotel room, the phone rang. It was John returning her call. Joyce later explained that if he had called even one minute later, she would have already been out the door. Instead, the two friends went to an Italian restaurant that night and shared a beautiful evening catching up. It would be the very last time they ever saw each other. Exactly one month later, John unexpectedly d*ed at age fifty-four from an undiagnosed heart condition. Today, Joyce is the last surviving roommate from the classic sitcom, following the loss of Suzanne Somers, who d*ed in 2023 after a battle with br*ast cancer. Looking back on that final dinner with John, Joyce believes their perfectly timed phone call was a true moment of divine assistance.
