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.”

So true. Goodby Ms. Somers. God Speed.
Noooooo! Prayers up.
Very sad, RIP…
RIP
Rest in peace, Suzanne!
I knew her aunt and uncle in California. She was a very kind and generous girl. Rest in Peace, Suzanne.
Like Christine Applegate after her, she had the smarts to play the dumb blonde bit with comic timing perfection.
RIP, it is sad to see the people on the TV shows you grew up watching pass away like this. Richard Kline, Joyce DeWitt, Jenilee Harrison, and Priscilla Barnes are still with us.
So, no “She’s The Sheriff” reboot?
The lovely Suzanne. In later years she faced cancer a number of times, but always had a plan to cope and the strength to hope. Like many Hollywood women, she had a tendancy to provide TMI about her private life, but then, it was her life. She probably inspired many people with similar health issues.
Mr Roper was a tail gunner on a B-25 Mitchell in the United States Army Air Forces during World War II.
I’m a Joyce DeWitt kinda guy, but RIP Suzanne.
She looked younger than 76. RIP.
Credited with two kills over Japanese fighters while serving as a gunner on B-24 “Liberator” bomber aircraft in the Fifth Air Force (Pacific Theater) during WWII.
RIP.
I think 77 was too soon for Suzanne...she had a great life with a long, loving marriage...I know she would have welcomed another twenty years. Was sad to read that she has battled various cancers since before her Three’s Company fame...no matter how great your life, unfortunate to have cancer hanging over your head all those years.
So now who’s going to sing the correspondence school letters?
RIP.
