Actress Amy Yasbeck, recognizable for her roles in 1990s television comedies and films, was recently observed in Los Angeles. Yasbeck, who is 63, has had a notable career that includes appearances on the NBC workplace sitcom "Wings," "The Mask," and "Robin Hood: Men in Tights."
Yasbeck joined the cast of "Wings" in its sixth season, portraying Casey, the sister of Helen, played by Crystal Bernard. The series, which ran for eight seasons, was set primarily at an airport and starred Tim Daly and Steven Weber as brothers Joe and Brian. "Wings" was a spin-off from "Cheers" and featured guest appearances from actors from the original show.
Her film work includes roles opposite Jim Carrey in "The Mask" and in Mel Brooks' "Robin Hood: Men in Tights," where she played Maid Marian. She also appeared in "Dracula: Dead and Loving It." Yasbeck had a role in the television movie "Splash, Too," a sequel to the 1984 film where Daryl Hannah originally starred. She also appeared in the film "Problem Child."
In 1990, Yasbeck began a relationship with actor John Ritter, whom she met on the set of "Problem Child." They married in 1999. Ritter died in 2003 at the age of 54. Yasbeck and Ritter had one daughter, Stella, who has since transitioned and is now known as Noah.
Following Ritter's death, Yasbeck reduced her professional commitments to focus on her family. In the 2010s, she increased her acting work, guest-starring on shows such as "Modern Family," "Pretty Little Liars," and "Bones." She most recently appeared on "The Bold and the Beautiful" and has a sports film, "The Big Game," in development.
