Amy Yasbeck：逝世23年仍每天与John Ritter说话、《三人行》50周年庆典11月2日举行
已故演员 John Ritter 的遗孀 Amy Yasbeck 近日接受 Page Six 独家专访时说，丈夫逝世23年后，她仍然每天与他「说话」。
「我还是会跟 John 说话，」现年64岁的 Yasbeck 说，「我一直在跟他报备……我每天都跟他说话。」她说，自己与 Ritter 前段婚姻的三个孩子 Jason、Carly 和 Tyler 常常因为一些「觉得 John 会喜欢」的东西而想到他——比如一位新出现的喜剧演员，或是一段肢体喜剧表演，「那种时刻，我们觉得 John 就在身边陪着我们看。」她说，Ritter 本人就是个极好的观众：「他热爱舞台，也热爱坐在观众席里。」
两人于1990年在电影《Problem Child》的读本会上相识，1998年迎来孩子 Noah，次年结婚。Ritter 于2003年9月在排练情景喜剧《8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter》时突发胸痛送医，最初按心脏病治疗，当晚因主动脉夹层逝世，享年54岁。
被问及最怀念丈夫什么，Yasbeck 的回答是「看他当父亲的样子」——「那里面包含了一切：他的人性、他的幽默、他的同理心，还有他对这个世界的不平。」她说，Ritter 是个非常讲公平的人，尤其见不得孩子受不公正对待。她还说，丈夫逝世以来，几乎每天都有人向她提起 Ritter 对他们意味着什么。
Ritter 逝世数周后，Yasbeck 创立了 John Ritter Foundation for Aortic Health（John Ritter 主动脉健康基金会），致力于提高公众对主动脉夹层的认知、帮助其他家庭避免同样的悲剧。她指出，这类疾病有很强的遗传性，而且在一定程度上是可以预防的。
11月2日，Yasbeck 将与 Ritter 在《三人行》（Three's Company）中的老搭档 Joyce DeWitt 一同在 New York 的 Joe's Pub 主持《三人行》50周年庆典，活动包括一场名人朗读：Jason Biggs、Christine Taylor、Richard Kind、Susie Essman 与 Richard Kline 将同台朗读该剧的一集。
Amy Yasbeck Still Talks to John Ritter Every Day, 23 Years After His Death, Ahead of the Three's Company 50th Anniversary
Amy Yasbeck, the widow of actor John Ritter, told Page Six in an exclusive interview that she still speaks to her late husband every day, 23 years after his death.
'I still talk to John,' Yasbeck, 64, said. 'I check in all the time. … I talk to him every day.' She said she and Ritter's three children from his previous marriage — Jason, Carly and Tyler — often bond over things they believe the late actor would have enjoyed, such as a new comic on the scene or a piece of physical comedy: 'like John is with us or beside us when we're watching something entertaining.' Ritter, she added, 'was such a good audience. He loved being on stage. He loved to be in an audience.'
The couple met during a read-through for their 1990 film Problem Child. They welcomed their child, Noah, in 1998 and married the following year. Ritter died in September 2003 after experiencing chest pains while rehearsing his sitcom 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter; rushed to the hospital and initially treated for a heart attack, he died that night from an aortic dissection, at 54.
Asked what she misses most, Yasbeck said it is watching him be a father: 'That encompasses everything — his humanity, his comedy, his empathy, his frustration at the world.' She recalled Ritter as a 'very fair-minded, progressive guy' who became frustrated when people, especially children, were treated unfairly, and said hardly a day has gone by since his death without someone approaching her to share how much the actor meant to them.
In the weeks after his death, Yasbeck established the John Ritter Foundation for Aortic Health to raise awareness about aortic dissection and help prevent other families from experiencing a similar tragedy, noting the condition is highly genetic and in part preventable.
On November 2, Yasbeck and Ritter's former Three's Company co-star Joyce DeWitt will host a Three's Company 50th anniversary celebration at Joe's Pub in New York City, featuring a celebrity staged reading of an episode with Jason Biggs, Christine Taylor, Richard Kind, Susie Essman and Richard Kline.
