They were ardent fans of each others' work (and I have to say I can see where he got a lot of his physical comedic skills from) but did anyone else realize that they BOTH died from aortic tears?! Lucy had been in poor health the previous few years and was 77 but who else was shocked to hear that Ritter had this happen when he was in appearantly good health at the age of 54!?:eek:

Lucy also hosted The Best of Three's Company episode.

I KNOW!! My mom and I were just discussing this the other day. They both did the same kind of strenuous/dangerous physical comedy, and both died of basically the same thing...:o :(

Makes you wonder...
