Astute businesswoman Suzanne Somers revealed in a new interview that her ThighMaster has earned her a massive chunk of change over the years.

“Well, I grew up poor, and I live a good life,” the “Three’s Company” alum, 75, coyly told hosts Dax Holt and Adam Glyn on the “Hollywood Raw” podcast Wednesday.

Somers then provided more exact figures, sharing, “It’s $19.95 x 10 million [products sold], so you kind of do the math, and we’re probably at 15 million now.”

In the playboy issue that she was in, (years ago) she said that dad molested her.

I didn’t know that. As I said, a relative knew him, liked him, considered him a friend. The accusation you mention is disturbing, and certainly casts him in horrible light. No idea if it’s true.

And yet here’s Suzanne on facebook celebrating him, so who knows...

I wonder how many guys got their skulls crushed by women who use them Thigh Masters?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Yep, miscalculated.

[suekas]

She wrote a great book, years ago on cancer treatments.

[Mount Athos]

Do you happen to know what hormones she is taking

[Deaf Smith]

Mine was crushed in college by a volleyball player.

I almost bought pepperoni but put it back because they did not have my style of Siggis yogurt - the triple cream.

“Mine was crushed in college by a volleyball player.”

Well bless your heart.

[zek157]

If she has made $15M of ~$200M sales she gets about 7.5% after taxes?

Not bad.

[Howie66]

Good Lord!

There is a special place in Hell for people like that.

[cyclotic]

There were no stepchildren. It was her grandmother.

[LibertyWoman]

Sorry, no I don't. It's been some years since I watched anything on Suzanne and I haven't dug in to find her. I'm sure there must be something on the internet. She was enthusiastic about compounded hormones. Not the ones we get through b.c. but actually compounded by a pharmicist (sp).

[China Clipper]

To me, she’ll always be the blonde in the white ‘56 T-bird in American Graffiti.....

[Mears]

Best movie ever.

That article says the "actors" on Friends got $1 million per episode, but now Suzanne Sommers? I thought they were going to up her from $5000 to $8000 per episode. Which I guess would be about $185,000/year.

[minnesota_bound]

Today the various shows like Friends got resold / rented recently for $500 million and I think $400 million for Seinfeld and this is beyond the huge money made when they first ran.

Threes Company also a big money maker for 40+ years.
The actors would get the short stick in earlier shows, low pay and no residuals. The ‘liberals’ in the studios will cheat everyone in their industry. At the time the producers figured they could replace her and they did.

She ended up making more money in the long run. The other actors did not like her as she was interfering with the show that they made their money.

This is from a book excerpt:

Celebrities who reveal that their parents abused them shouldn't be criticized, states TV actress Somers, who chronicled her own unhappy childhood in Keeping Secrets.

If public figures had been more open in the past, she writes, "Maybe I wouldn't have grown up thinking I was the only girl in America with a father like mine."

Here she assembles a star-studded list of memoirs that will satisfy the nosy and tug at the heart strings too.

Gary Crosby, Patti (Reagan) Davis, Desi Arnaz Jr., Angie Dickinson, B. J. Thomas, Cindy Williams and other victims of physical, emotional or sexual abuse relate their ordeals and eloquently reach out to readers suffering the same problems.

Gary Crosby, whose father Bing savagely beat (and made jokes about) his backside, conveys the humor and determination needed to survive.

I think you’re mistaken

She claims her dad was a drunk and prone to violent fits

If you have a link that he sexually abused her I’d like to see it

He became a recovering drunk later she says too

I like her but she a bit off the charts on some things ....medicine for example

[justme4now]

I kept the playboy mag for years but threw it away long ago.
That is where she talked about the molestation.
If I find the time later, I will try to find the issue or article online.
