Amy Yasbeck is an actress who has played many roles in movies and in television, though she's better know of her work in the latter medium.
She is best known for playing Casey Chappel Davenport in the nineties NBC sitcom "Wings," which was set in a commuter airport on the island of Nantucket. Ms. Yasbeck was on the series from 1994 to its finale in 1997.
Casey was the sister of Helen (played by Crystal Bernard) who returns to the island after a messy breakup from her husband Stuart. As fate would have it, Stuart was played by the wonderful and underrated comic actor John Ritter, whom Ms. Yasbeck ultimately married in 1999. They were together until Ritter's untimely death in 2003 from a heart defect he never even knew he had..
Ms. Yasbeck has also played minor movie roles as well as one-shot characters in various TV series.
