John Ritter, Joyce DeWitt, Suzanne Somers, Don Knotts,… — Alive or gone? The truth behind Three’s Company cast th02

Nearly 50 years after Three’s Company first aired, fans are asking one haunting question: what really happened to the cast we once laughed with every week? Who is still here—and who have we already lost?

Here’s the truth that’s hitting fans hard:

  • John Ritter (Jack Tripper) — Passed away (2003)
    The heart of the show. His sudden death at 54 shocked the world and remains one of Hollywood’s most tragic losses.
  • Joyce DeWitt (Janet Wood) — Still alive
    Now largely out of the spotlight, but still remembered as the emotional anchor of the series.
  • Suzanne Somers (Chrissy Snow) — Passed away (2023)
    Her passing after a long cancer battle marked the end of an iconic era.
  • Don Knotts (Mr. Furley) — Passed away (2006)
    A comedy legend whose presence elevated the show’s humor to another level.
  • Audra Lindley (Mrs. Roper) — Passed away (1997)
    One half of the unforgettable Roper duo—her wit still lives on in reruns.
  • Norman Fell (Mr. Roper) — Passed away (1998)
    The grumpy landlord fans couldn’t help but love.
  • Richard Kline (Larry Dallas) — Still alive
    The charming neighbor who brought endless mischief—and is still with us today.
  • Priscilla Barnes (Terri Alden) — Still alive
    Joined later in the series but quickly became a fan favorite.
  • Jenilee Harrison (Cindy Snow) — Still alive
    Stepped in after Suzanne Somers and kept the laughs going.

Looking at this list, one thing becomes painfully clear: time has changed everything.

The laughter, the chemistry, the unforgettable moments—they’re frozen on screen. But in real life, many of the stars who created that magic are no longer here.

And that’s what makes revisiting Three’s Company so emotional today…

You’re not just watching a sitcom anymore—you’re watching memories of people who once lit up the world, some of whom are now only with us in spirit.
