Joyce DeWitt, best remembered by millions as Janet Wood from the hit sitcom Three’s Company, has always carried with her a strong sense of faith and values. Though she became a household name in the late 1970s for her quick wit, charm, and undeniable chemistry with her co-stars, DeWitt has often spoken about how her Catholic upbringing shaped the way she sees the world.
In a 2011 conversation with Pop Culture Classics, she reflected candidly on that influence, saying: “I had to deal with the guilt first and then my independence second.” It was a lighthearted but deeply honest remark that revealed how she balanced the teachings of her childhood with the independence she gained as an adult actress navigating Hollywood.
Recently, DeWitt showed another glimpse of her gracious and humble spirit. Despite being in a hurry to catch a flight, she made the time to pause and appreciate a thoughtful gift she had been given—a personalized Bible. With a warm smile, she expressed her gratitude, noting how the Bible was just the right size to fit in her carry-on luggage. She mentioned that she intended to keep it with her while traveling, a small but meaningful reminder of her spiritual grounding wherever life’s journeys may take her.
For fans who grew up watching her on screen, it is heartwarming to see the beloved actress continue to embrace kindness, humility, and faith in her daily life. At a time when celebrities often rush through encounters, DeWitt’s appreciation for such a personal gift speaks volumes about the type of person she is off-screen—thoughtful, grounded, and ever mindful of her values.
Supporters are encouraged to keep Joyce DeWitt in their prayers as she continues her journey, both personally and professionally. After all, while her television legacy remains unforgettable, it is her compassion and faith-filled character that leave the strongest impression.
And a special note of gratitude goes to Josh Butts, whose sponsorship made the gift of this personalized Bible possible—an act that clearly touched DeWitt in a profound way.
