Joyce Anne DeWitt was born on 23 April 1949 in Wheeling, West Virginia, USA, of part Italian descent from her mother’s family, and Swedish and Irish from her father. She is an actress who has appeared in many movies and television shows, her most famous role being the character of Janet Wood in the TV show “Three’s Company”. Her appearances in many films and television shows are the reason for her decent net worth.

So just how rich is Joyce DeWitt? Sources estimate that Joyce’s net worth is $2 million, mostly accumulated from her roles in films and on the stage, plus appearances on numerous television shows during a career spanning more than 40 years.

Joyce DeWitt was raised in Speedway, Indiana. She competed in debates and speeches when at Indiana High School Forensic Association, and then Joyce attended Ball State University and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in theater, later completing a Master’s degree in theatre from the University of California, where she also worked as a secretary along with going to auditions.

After an audition for ABC channel Joyce was given a choice between two shows and she had to make the choice within 24 hours; she chose, “Three’s Company” which aired from 1977 until 1984. She was then seen in an episode of “Finder of Lost Loves” in 1984. This was the real start of her rise in net worth, but she quit acting for a few years, and returned to acting on the stage in 1991, but was then cast in “Spring Fling”, a 1995 comedy film.

Joyce DeWitt had cameos and appearances in several other shows like “Pinky and The Brain”, “Cybill”,”Living Single”, “Hope Island”, “18”, “The Nick At Night Holiday Special” and “Call of the world”.

Joyce was also cast in an independent film called “Failing Better Now” in 2008. She also starred in “Miss Abigail’s Guide to Dating, Mating and Marriage” in 2011, and the indie film “Failing Better,”. Overall, Joyce has been involved in well over 20 TV shows and series, and numerous stage productions which have been the mainstay of her growth in net worth.

Apart from her acting career Joyce DeWitt was also very active in charity events, she participated in the Capital Hill Forum for Hungry and homeless and also hosted International Award Ceremony for the End Hunger Awards at the White House and also hosted the World Food Day Gala. Her net worth is the cumulative result of her acting career and her involvement in the drive to make world a better and safer place for poor and homeless.

In her personal life, Joyce DeWitt has apparently never married, but has had relationships with LeVar Burton and Ray Buktenica. On the down side, Joyce was arrested for alleged DUI in 2009 in El Sugondo, California, and was sentenced to community work and a period of rehabilitation.

Joyce DeWitt Quotes

• [Denying Three’s Company (1976) producers’ assertion that she wanted her character Janet to be Jack(John Ritter)’s love interest in the spin-off Three’s a Crowd (1984), which was canceled after one season] Well, then they should have asked me if I wanted to be one. Perhaps my diplomatic side would have dropped for once, and I would have been frank about what a nightmare the idea of doing another project with them would be. I think they made two big mistakes when they did the spin-off. First and foremost, they utterly underestimated the importance of the affection and intimacy of the relationship of the audience with the other characters. Secondly, they grossly underestimated the relationship between Jack and Janet. She was the burr under his saddle-the voice of his conscience, if you will. Without that element of consistent friction, a lot of comedy is lost. It didn’t have to be Janet, and the role didn’t have to played by me. Nor can I imagine I would have agreed to work with these producers again. But some version of that relationship needed to be in the new show.
• [2009: on Three’s Company (1976) and Hollywood] I really felt that Three’s Company was a gift. When it ended, I had money in the bank and had the luxury to pursue a life that meant something, to learn and discover. Hollywood can be brutal, inhuman, the opposite of what the theater is and I had little desire to be part of it. But now, I’m excited to work again and to, at my age, be able to keep working.
• [on Farrah Fawcett] She had a beautiful heart. She was a lovely human being and such a brave woman, right up to her final moments. She chose to share her circumstances, her illness, with the world in order that those who had similar circumstances would be enlightened and inspired, and I have a great deal of respect for the way she left this life.
• [2009: on rumors that she spent her pre-Hollywood years as a contractor who, after painting the garage of Barney Miller (1974) co-star Abe Vigoda, became a sort of surrogate daughter to the actor] It’s totally untrue. I’ve never even met Abe Vigoda. I never painted his house, his garage or any other thing he has. I often wonder if he thinks I’m this crazy person who made all of this up.
• [on Suzanne Somers (2009)] I rarely talk about this, but we never actually had an argument. After her fight with the producers, as part of her publicity tour to make herself seem innocent, she made John [Ritter] and I the enemy. Several times over the past 20 years I’ve left messages, notes, letters, and have given her the phone number for the phone that rings right beside my bed, but she has never chosen to reach me, and, yet, publicly and in the press, she still tells people that I don’t speak to her.
• [on her stardom] Shirley MacLaine once said that she didn’t want to be a big star, just a long star. That’s what I want too.
• [on the politics of Hollywood] If that’s the way the game is played, I don’t want to play anymore.
