“Three’s Company,” the iconic sitcom that aired from 1977 to 1984, introduced us to a quirky trio and their eccentric neighbors, delivering laughs that still resonate today. Let’s catch up with the main cast and see where they are now.
Unfortunately, many of the cast members are no longer with us today.
John Ritter’s portrayal of the bumbling yet lovable Jack Tripper made him a household name. After “Three’s Company,” he continued to charm audiences in various roles, including the sitcom “8 Simple Rules.” Tragically, Ritter passed away in 2003 at the age of 54 due to an aortic dissection. His legacy endures, with his son, Jason Ritter, recently paying tribute by recreating one of his father’s classic “Three’s Company” expressions.
As the sensible and witty Janet Wood, Joyce DeWitt was the grounding force of the trio. Post-show, DeWitt took a hiatus from acting but returned to the stage and occasional TV appearances. In 2012, she reconciled with co-star Suzanne Somers after a long-standing feud, reminiscing about their time on the show.
Suzanne Somers (Chrissy Snow)
Suzanne Somers brought the ditzy yet endearing Chrissy Snow to life. After departing the show in 1980 over a salary dispute, she found success with the “ThighMaster” and authored several books. Somers passed away on October 15, 2023, just one day before her 77th birthday.
Richard Kline (Larry Dallas)
Portraying the smooth-talking neighbor Larry Dallas, Richard Kline provided endless laughs. He remained active in theater and television, with recent appearances including a role in the Broadway musical “Waitress” in 2019.
Priscilla Barnes (Terri Alden)
Joining the cast as nurse Terri Alden in 1981, Priscilla Barnes added a new dynamic to the show. She later appeared in films like “Licence to Kill” and had a recurring role on “Jane the Virgin” from 2014 to 2019.
Jenilee Harrison (Cindy Snow)
Jenilee Harrison played the clumsy yet charming Cindy Snow from 1980 to 1982. Afterward, she joined the cast of “Dallas” and appeared in various TV shows before stepping away from acting in the early 2000s.
Don Knotts (Ralph Furley)
As the eccentric landlord Ralph Furley, Don Knotts was a comedic standout. Already famous for “The Andy Griffith Show,” Knotts continued acting until his passing in 2006 at the age of 81.

The original landlords, the Ropers, were portrayed by Norman Fell and Audra Lindley. Both actors continued their careers in film and television after leaving the show. Fell passed away in 1998, and Lindley in 1997.
