Just the other day, the HG's were talking about John Ritter and reminiscing about his performances. The first thing I heard on the news this morning, was that he died of a massive heart attack. He was 54.

I cannot believe it. He will always seem to be that young Jack Tripper to me. Both he and Johnny Cash on the same night. That is so sad for those families. For John Ritter and family to not even know he was sick...

CNN said it was an aortic problem that is undetectable.

Two in one morning.. both named John :(

Yeah, I just heard that on CNN that it was "heart probems". CBS is the one who said "massive heart attack".

This is so sad, he's younger than I am, and he always looked so fit on TV. I watched him on the original Three's Company too, and that's always how I think of him. Bob Hope a few short weeks ago, and now Johnny Cash and John Ritter at the same time.
God bless them all three, for the pleasure of their company and for giving us all something of themselves.

From what I understand there was a tiny defect in his aorta and it pretty much just exploded while his was filming a episode of "8 Simple Rules.." his ABC sitcom.So in laymans terms both reports were correct.The damage to the aorta was such that nothing could be done to save him.Sad morning..never thought Mr Furley would out live Jack!

I enjoyed them both as performers. Not a good thing to see first thing in the AM. Well, actually second. First thing I saw was my beautiful children getting off to school.

Sad to see them go. They will be missed but their performances will live on.

I didn't know about it until I saw this thread. I was looking forward to this years "8 Simple Rules." My sympathies to his family and the cast of his show.

He collapsed on the set too. Kinda hard to believe. Three's Company was probably the first "nighttime" show I remember to make sure I watched. I was so young then. So was he. He forever stays in my mind for that alone. Even though he had grown older, ever had anyone who just was perpetually young in your head no matter how old they get?

OMG, I woke up to this news this morning, and I am heartbroken. I cannot beleive he is gone at 54! I watched Three's Company ALL THE TIME growing up, and have recently been watching reruns of the show on Nick at Nite at 3am when I can't sleep. I CANNOT BELEIVE IT! My heart aches for his family and children. He was SUCH a talanted actor! He was too young to go!

God Bless that wonderful, lovable man. John, I will sign_missu

I remebered him on the Walton's he was the minister on that show. Sympathy go out for his family and the people who were there when it happened. Not realizing until later.

I am sorry but that is sick. They should not make fun of someone who just passed away unexcepted.

I remember John Ritter talking about his dad, Tex Ritter, and John's 55th birthday was next week.

Have you listened to Johnny Cash sing Circle of Fire?

2 public hollywood figures died today...

It is a picture of the three last houseguest as three company cast. Robert has John and the other two as Chrissy and Janet.

The date on the photo says September 11. From the news reports, it says he died last night. I think the photo was made and put there before news of his death hit the public. It might be worth checking it out later to see if they put something else in there or comment on it.

Very sad to hear that both John Ritter and Johnny Cash passed away. *sniff*

Two very nice celebrities lost today. :(

(Oh, that photo was posted yesterday, before anyone knew he died.)

But is that weird about the photo, okay if it was printed before hand,but what if they knew it happened and printed the picture, they could have gotten rid of the picture.

Simply the most charming sitcom actor ever.

I know this won't mean much to most of you, but yesterday the district attorney of San Antonio died of a massive heart attack. She was only in her fifties. She was an extraordiary woman and a role model for young women. We will miss her.

Sorry, I did not give her name. Susan Reed.

Oh my gosh! I was shopping at Sam's Club yesterday afternoon and paused to look through their bargain CD bin. I picked up a Johnny Cash CD and looked at the titles and decided to buy it (Reader234, did you mean Ring of Fire?). I have never bought or listened to him much, but something made me buy this one and I even opened it in the car and listened on my way home. Strange....

I have always loved John Ritter, feel like I grew up (and old) with him. He and Johnny will be sorely missed.
