GLENDALE, Calif. (AP) - Actor Henry Winkler has described for a Los Angeles court what happened the last time he saw deceased actor John Ritter. The former "Happy Days" star took the stand Wednesday to testify in a lawsuit against two doctors. Ritter's family is suing a radiologist who had earlier given Ritter a body scan and the cardiologist who treated him at the hospital.
Winkler says he last saw Ritter on the set of the show "8 Simple Rules ... For Dating My Teenage Daughter." Later that night, he says he got a phone call and learned that Ritter died.
The sitcom star was 54 when he died of a torn aorta after going to a hospital where he was treated for a heart attack.
