In 1994, Ritchie purchased for $995,000, the modest hacienda-style house at 12305 Fifth Helena Drive in the Brentwood section of LA where Marilyn Monroe died in 1962.
He was a director and producer, known for The Golden Child (1986), The Island (1980) and Fletch (1985). He was married to Jimmie Brown and Georgina Tebrock.
Started his career as an assistant producer in television in the early 1960s. He made his feature film debut as a director with Downhill Racer (1969), for which he was hired by Robert Redford. Sports continued to be his forte, his greatest box-office successes being about baseball (The Bad News Bears (1976)) and football (Semi-Tough (1977)). He took a humorous swipe, with far less commercial success, at beauty pageants with the underrated Smile (1975), for which he adopted an effective semi-documentary approach. While his work became more mainstream during the 1980s, it does include a few memorable comedies, notably Fletch (1985) (and its sequel) and The Couch Trip (1988).
