Suzanne Somers, the effervescent blonde actor known for playing Chrissy Snow on the television show “Three’s Company” as well as her business endeavors, has died. She was 76.

Somers had breast cancer for over 23 years and died Sunday morning, her family said in a statement provided by her longtime publicist, R. Couri Hay. Her husband Alan Hamel, her son Bruce and other immediate family were with her in Palm Springs, California.

“Her family was gathered to celebrate her 77th birthday on October 16th,” the statement read. “Instead, they will celebrate her extraordinary life, and want to thank her millions of fans and followers who loved her dearly.”

In July, Somers shared on Instagram that her breast cancer had returned.

“Like any cancer patient, when you get that dreaded, ‘It’s back’ you get a pit in your stomach. Then I put on my battle gear and go to war," she told Entertainment Tonight at the time. "This is familiar battleground for me and I’m very tough.”

Based on his TV Show persona, one would never have thought the Mr. Roper character came from such an adventurous background. On the show, I often got him confused with the crabby, jittery character played by Don Knotts.

Wait. Oh her, don’t care. Everyone dies sometime. I hope to get to 76. I am sorry for any family members, but that is true of the other 5 million people in the world that died yesterday.

she had the smarts to play the dumb blonde bit with comic timing perfection.

Yep. And a voluptuous figure, not skin, bones and plastic, to go with it. That style of character actor is sadly out of vogue these days.

We saw the white Thunderbird at Folsom Ford in Sacramento back in the 1990s.

She only had a small scene in American Graffiti, but it was impactful.

Her birthday is tomorrow. So sad that she didn’t make it.

Same here. No disrespect to Suzanne. But "Janet" was just right.

Priscilla Barnes (Suzanne's replacement) wasn't bad either.

A man was telling his co-worker one day that the company was transferring him to Chicago. He explained that he was going to quit before he had to move there.
When asked why, he replied that he was just too afraid of all the crime even though he would be passing up a big salary increase and greater benefits.

His co-worker said he should reconsider. Chicago was a magnificent city, with world class museums, loaded with a great history, sites, good public transportation, etc.

Then he said: “Why I myself worked in Chicago for almost 15 years, and in all that time I never ever had a problem with crime while I was working.”

The first asked “What did you do there?”

To which the other replied, “I was tail-gunner on a bread truck.”

Threes company was the worst of TV. Poorly acted, poorly written. And that theme song that rots my brain. The jokes were lame. I don’t know her. And I was not fond of her work. So if your going to praise her like Eastman or one of the Hepburns. I don’t share your enthusiasm. She did not leave behind a positive impression on me.

LOL, the Post Office went to guns at one point because of robberies.

” By the1920s, so many bandits were targeting mail trains that the postmaster general armed railway mail clerks with
government-issued pistols with orders to “shoot to kill.”

“Thefts became so numerous that, in
1921, about 50,000 surplus military frearms were distributed
to railway mail clerks. In 1921 and again in 1926, thousands
of U.S. Marines guarded valuable mail at vulnerable points
throughout the country, as identifed by inspectors.”
