Suzanne Somers, Star of ‘Three’s Company’ and ‘She’s the Sheriff,’ Dies at 76
The actress survived an aggressive form of breast cancer for over 23 years.
I only remember her work as an actor because she played the mom on Step by Step which was a Brady Bunch knock-off on the TGIF lineup in the '90s. But I do know she had a lot of pseudo-scientific views on health and nutrition and was fairly public about them... And at her worst, she even went so far as to suggest in 2013 that the Sandy Hook shooting was the result of the perpetrator's "toxic" diet and being exposed to common household cleaners. Suffice to say, I don't think she was a very reasonable person. So I'm just gonna file this away as "TV mom from my youth dies."
Fuck cancer
One of those people I just never realized how old they were til they passed away, just someone that's just always been around and you always expect them to be around... until suddenly they're not. Getting old fucking sucks.
Loved her in Three's Company. So good! Also, loved that her exercise equipment helped me in other ways. RIP
One word. Thighmaster.
That's what happens when you wear white after Labor Day
the kragle claims another brick of my youth
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Somers began her acting career in the later 1960s and early 1970s when she took on small, uncredited roles, in Bullitt, Daddy’s Gone A-Hunting and Fools.
After a few more years of one-off parts in TV shows like Lotsa Luck!, The Rockford Files and One Day at a Time, Somers landed her breakthrough role as Chrissy Snow in Three’s Company, for which she received a Golden Globes nomination.
She starred opposite Patrick Duffy as a widowed mom and divorced dad who quickly fell in love and got married on vacation.
The two then combined their different families, Somers’ two daughters and young son and Duffy’s two boys and tomboy girl middle child, under one roof.
In 2012, she launched her online talk show, Suzanne Somers Breaking Through, where she reconciled with her Three’s Company co-star DeWitt.
Later that year, The Suzanne Show, for which she received an Emmy nom for best host, aired on Lifetime Network, where Somers welcomed gusts and covered a range of topics related to health and fitness.

Weird transition here from the bot. The article had it correct, but the bot skipped a paragraph. Three's Company was opposite John Ritter, and Step by Step was opposite Patrick Duffy.
