    She has been doing a lot of TV work for the last decade. She will also feature in the upcoming Netflix "Punisher" series.

    Oh good. At least she's still acting and I figured all this time she wasn't.

    Whatever happened to Joyce Dewitt from Threes Company ? Don't think I ever saw her again after that show.

    According to IMDB, she barely worked for more than 10 years after "TC" ended. She then did a TV movie in 1995 and nothing else until 2000. She did another project in 2003 and then nothing until 2009.

    She's been more active since then - nothing I recognize, but 7 projects from 2009 to date.

    Not sure if she was out of the business by choice or because she couldn't get work. I'd guess the former - De Witt is enough of a "name" that she could get some work if she wanted, which she's demonstrated by her revival the last 8 years...

    I think you're right. She'd have more work if she wanted it. I heard Adam West (RIP) on Gilbert Gottfried's podcast and there's always a role if you're willing to relax your standards. He did a ton of stuff just to keep working. If you're not picky, I think you can always find something.

    My parents watch a lot of Lifetime TV movies, and that seems to have become a goldmine for actors you may not have seen in a while. Nothing award winning as far as quality, but nice, formulaic little stories to entertain people.

    I think she did a lot theatre work. I used to see local ads for her appearances back in the early 90's.

    I don't recall any of the "Three's Company" regulars working much after the show, other than Ritter's short lived spin off. I was much younger back then so I could be misremembering or I just wasn't looking out for them.

    Norman Fell was at the tail end of his very long career when he did TC, but he probably made more fans from that than from all his previous work combined. He was just a wonderful actor that I'm glad he got the fame and recognition he deserved by making Stanley Roper a sitcom icon.

    Susanne Somers did Step by Step and became a thigh master legend.

    John Ritter was always working although not necessarily in tv series. He would probably still be working if he hadn't tragically died so young.

    I've seen Matt Frewer most recently in Orphan Black, but that was a couple seasons ago.

    Bob Goldthwait is directing more than acting. Check out his movie from a few years back, "The World's Greatest Dad" with Robin Williams.

    Advanced age and general nuttiness may be the reason but I miss seeing Rip Torn.

    Amanda Donohoe. Her careers seems to nosedive vertiginously after she returned to Britain.

    Yeah Bobcat has had a real career turnaround as a director. Call Me Lucky is one of the best documentaries I've seen in recent years.

    Because of the movie version of "It" being in the news, I came across a news item yesterday (the 14th anniversary of John Ritter's passing) of Joyce DeWitt being cast in a play somewhere. So she is working.

    As for John Ritter, Kaley Cuoco (Penny from The Big Bang Theory) yesterday posted a tribute to her TV father on Instagram. John Ritter was working on "8 Simple Rules....." when he died. He was also star of "Hopperman" and "Hearts Afire". Then there were the "Problem Child" movies, Sling Blade, Bad Santa, etc....

    Is Kate Jackson still active? Ditto Jaclyn Smith (outside of promoting her fashion line)?

    Yes, Kate (love of my life in college) is still around. I don't think she's doing a lot of work. She did have a bout with breast cancer, but I guess she's clean.

  24. John was excellent in Sling blade and Bad Santa. He really demonstrated his acting chops in those two movies.
