Suzanne Somers was a model, actress, singer, author and business woman.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When Suzanne Mahoney was 19, she married Bruce Somers.\u00a0 They had one child and the couple divorced three years later. Suzanne Somers&#8217; career began with her getting modeling gigs and small, often uncredited parts in television shows and movies.\u00a0 Her big break came when she landed the role of Chrissy Snow on <em>Three&#8217;s Company.<\/em>\u00a0 The show was an instant hit and made Suzanne Somers a household name.\u00a0 Ms. Somers stayed with the series through four seasons.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For the rest of her career Suzanne Somers would act in movies and television.\u00a0 She became a commercial spokesperson for the exercise product Thighmaster.\u00a0 Suzanne Somers also authored two autobiographies, a book of poetry as well as four diet books.\u00a0 In 2001, Ms. Somers was diagnosed with breast cancer.\u00a0 She elected to have a lumpectomy and radiation.\u00a0 She declined chemotherapy and instead used alternative cancer treatments.\u00a0 Although criticized by the American Cancer Society and many doctors, Suzanne Somers became a proponent of alternative treatments to chemotherapy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Some of Suzanne Somer&#8217;s television appearances include: <em>The Rockford Files; Sky Heist; One Day at a Time; The Love Boat; Starsky &amp; Hutch<\/em> (3 episodes); <em>The Six Million Dollar Man; Zuma Beach; Three&#8217;s Company<\/em> (100 episodes); <em>The Ropers; Hollywood Wives<\/em> (3 episodes); <em>She&#8217;s the Sheriff<\/em> (44 episodes); <em>Sisters; The Larry Sanders Show; The Simpsons and Step-By-Step<\/em> (160 episodes).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Some of Suzanne Somer&#8217;s feature film appearances include: <em>Bullit; Daddy&#8217;s Gone A-Hunting; American Graffiti; Magnum Force; Billy Jack Goes to Washington; Nothing Personal<\/em> and <em>The Nutty Professor<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I first remember seeing Suzanne Somers in a magazine ad.\u00a0 She was a hot babe on a beach.\u00a0 Of course I remember her best from <em>Three&#8217;s Company<\/em>.\u00a0 Although I didn&#8217;t regularly watch the show, her fame brought her magazine covers, feature stories and appearances on other shows.\u00a0 For a while Suzanne Somers was everywhere!\u00a0 It&#8217;s funny because I probably saw her on <em>The Rockford Files, Starsky &amp; Hutch<\/em> or <em>The Six Million Dollar Man <\/em>before <em>Three&#8217;s Company<\/em> ever hit the air waves.\u00a0 But it&#8217;s Chrissy Snow that first comes to mind when I think of Suzanne Somers.<\/p>\n<p>Our thoughts and prayers go out to Suzanne Somers family, friends and fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Suzanne Somers, born Suzanne Mahoney, died today the result of cancer.\u00a0 Ms. Somers was 76.
