Apparently, yes, in a family film called "Call of The Wild".

Has Joyce ever been on the big screen before? Is this a tv movie? Whatever it is, I wish her success. Does anyone know if Joyce has a boyfriend? I'm curious as to how she's survived financially all these years. Does she own a business or something? I'm guessing she invested her TC money well?

You read my mind Janice. When was Joyce ever on the big screen? I know Suzanne was, but I don't recall Joyce being in the movies. TV movies are a different issue, and that is NOT the big screen.

The key word in the topic is "returning", I guess... I don't think she has any big-screen credits. But the story I linked to (which is sourced pretty well, it seems, although I couldn't find anything else about it) does not call it a TV movie, just a family film.

I know DeWitt has been mostly in live theatre all these years, and there her credits have piled up, all over the place in fact.

This could be her FIRST film on the big screen, but it can't be called "returning" if she never appeared on the big screen. It is "returning" for Christopher Lloyd, an actor who has big screen credits to his name.

If she's involved in a Hollywood production, big screen or small, I'd definitely call it returning, considering she's been quoted calling it "Hollyweird".:)

I mean, most of her other recent (TV) credits have been as "Herself".

I am not going to quibble. You called it a return to the big screen. BIG SCREEN has always been known to be the movie theatre, not television. Joyce does the LITTLE SCREEN. Maybe it is better to call it "Joyce returning to work."

ok, strike off the word "big" in the topic... it's a small topic in any case. :)

She had a bit part in Airplane II: The Sequel. I believe that's the only big movie she's ever been in. She played a juror and she wasn't even listed in the credits. :lol:

I'm sorry, and didn't mean to start anything. I don't think everyone takes big screen, little screen, as seriously as others. No harm intended. :)

She doesn't look that different from her Three's Company days.

She certainly has remained somewhat youthful looking. She is really beautiful. Too bad her former co-star Jennilee Harrison resorted to plastic surgery and now looks horrendous. Being natural is the way to go as long as you take care of yourself all over. ;)

Too bad about the nose, though. Since she obviously doesn't use Botox and all, I wonder whether she's ever regretted getting it hacked back in 1983?

To me, it doesn't change her overall look. I love her look. Jennilee looks like a female Joker (from Batman).

Unfortunately (because I loved the way she looked in her signature role), that title must go to Loretta Swit.

Congratulations on Joyce returning to the public. You guys are right the article isn't to clear if the show is a series or a movie? If it is a TV movie or a Feature, I hope that she does more of them. After the hassle she had on "Three's Company", I don't know if she's willing to go back to a regular series or not.

I hope however, that she at least does TV Movies like, Melissa Gilbert, Patty Duke, Nancy McKeon, and others have. :)

From the description, I thought it's definitely a movie, but it's not totally clear whether it's big- or small-screen. IMDB shows her as having done two TV movies post nineties: Spring Fling (1995) and 18 (2001). Even so, that's quite a while off-screen. (The NaN specials hardly count). So yes, I too hope this one goes through! Interesting that it's labelled as a family movie.

Last summer, DeWitt did a sitcom pilot called "Welcome to Haggerty's", but that was as part of a reality-show called America's Next Producer.

I heard Jennilee's surgery was the result of being in a bad auto accident?

She had a face-lift and her lips injected because of an auto accident? I doubt it. :lol:

I'm sorry you thought what I said was a joke, but I seriously heard that on a news report.

I can understand how hearing something like that can lend credence to why her face looks so different.

I try to look at it this way, if she was in an accident and had facial surgery or reconstructive surgery, I think most fans of TC would know this either through internet searches or various other sources. Also, I can't see why she would have her face plastered in a few plastic surgery websites as being a good example of plastic surgery gone wrong if in fact it was reconstructive surgery she had and not plastic surgery. I don't see any scars on her face either as one would expect to see if one had reconstructive surgery on their face. I can't imagine one needing a face-lift and lip injections as a solution to fix one's face after having it injured in an auto accident.

No worries, Irene! :D it's just a small thing. I heard she helps to produce the informercials she stars in?

Really? I never knew that. Damn, she at least has some skills to fall back on. Glad to hear that. I am a huge DALLAS fan, I loved her role of Jamie Ewing. That was also before she went all plastic surgery on us. :lol: Unfortunately, her character was killed off.
