She met late actor and producer John Ritter, who became famous for his role of Jack Tripper in the ABC sitcom. On October 16th, 1977 the couple got married. That same year Nancy appeared in films Grand Theft Auto as Paula Powers and in TV episodes of Good Times as Cindy Crebbins and The Sun Pedro Beach Bums as Julie. The following year she was playing in the film Americathon and in the TV series Backstairs at the White House. In 1980 she starred in film Pray TV in the role of Peggy Williams.
Soon she made a break in her acting carrier in order to dedicate herself to the happiness of motherhood. Her first son, Jason Ritter, was born on February 17, 1980. He has graduated from the New York University in 2002. In 2012, he was nominated for Emmy for a guest star performance on Parenthood NBS series. In a short period of time between her first and second pregnancies, she was acting in the episode of The Older Woman (renamed TV series of the Different Socks) in 1982. Then, she gave a birth to her daughter, Carly Ritter on March 1, 1982. Carly has graduated from the Vassar College in 2005 and developed a carrier of singer and songwriter.
