Amy Yasbeck

Amy Yasbeck (born September 12, 1963, in Cincinnati, Ohio) is an American actress, who is probably best known as the widow of actor John Ritter. Yasbeck first met John Ritter at director Dennis Dugan's house during a read-through of the 1990 movie Problem Child. According to Yasbeck, Ritter forced her to eat a bagel and cream cheese because he thought she was too thin. He also thought she was too young to play his wife in the movie (Ritter was almost 15 years Yasbeck's senior). Amy Yasbeck also starred in the second Problem Child film with John Ritter even though she was playing a different character in the sequel. Yasbeck and Ritter married in 1999 and had one daughter, Stella Ritter.
