Joyce DeWitt delights fans with rare appearance years after ‘Three’s Company’Joyce DeWitt made a recent rare appearance, and fans could not contain their excitement. The actress played the role of Janet Wood alongside John Ritter as Jack Tripper in the 1977 sitcom Three Company when she was 27. Now at 75, DeWitt stays mostly out of the spotlight, but a recent TikTok livestream with Amy Yasbeck brought back her wit to long-time viewers.
Although she enjoys living a private life, DeWitt is also involved in philanthropic efforts, particularly providing food and shelter, as well as promoting health awareness.
She has supported the John Ritter Foundation for Aortic Health after his untimely passing in 2003. In 2022, she also appeared in a music video for the Davisson Brothers Band.
DeWitt still knows how to light up moments despite having reduced her public appearances. During the short Livestream with Yasbeck, the women reflected on their time with Three’s Company and the camaraderie they shared with John Ritter. As they spoke, fans told DeWitt about a nickname she had never heard before: “Jacket,” coined by Jack and Janet.
The 75-year-old actress laughed at the suggestion and remembered how several admirers confronted her about the possibility of a romantic relationship between her and John Ritter. No sooner had this begun than it became a celebration for Joyce DeWitt herself, and fans kept the conversation going in the comments.
Fans’ reaction
Admirers of Joyce DeWitt flooded social media with memories of her acting, her brunette bob, and the energy she brought to the series. They reflected on their childhoods spent watching Three’s Company, sharing how DeWitt’s portrayal of Janet stood out for them. “It was the moment at the studio. Joyce DeWitt is still so beautiful,” a fan commented.
The TikTok moment also drew attention because public appearances from DeWitt have been scarce lately. Although she did not entirely leave the acting industry, her attention has shifted toward stage acting and advocacy.
Over the years, she has performed in theater productions across the country and made guest appearances on television. She has also taken on roles in plays such as Miss Abigail’s Guide to Dating, Mating & Marriage, and Love Letters.
