Her career

Richard’s love life
Off screen, Richard was as romantically successful as his Three’s Company character, tying the knot three times.
He first wed Kathleen Doyle in 1973, separating 7 years later and subsequently wedding Sandy Molloy in 1982. He and Sandy remained married until 2002. That same year, Richard tied the knot with his wife Beverly Osgoode.
