Suzanne Somers: Multifaceted Legacy
With a career trajectory that would be the envy of many, Suzanne was universally celebrated for her portrayal of Chrissy Snow on the ABC sitcom "Three’s Company".
This role, along with her subsequent endeavors, including authoring best-selling books and launching her talk show, showcased the depth and diversity of her talents. Somers was not just an actress; she was a wellness advocate, impressively turning her ThighMaster endorsement into a fitness movement.
Her acting journey began in the early 1960s, with small roles that eventually led to her iconic part in George Lucas’s "American Graffiti". She continued to grace the screen with her presence in numerous shows before ascending to fame as Chrissy Snow.
Her prominence in "Three’s Company", however, wasn't without its trials. Somers departed the show in 1981 after advocating for pay parity with her co-star, John Ritter. Reflecting on this period, she once commented about being "the unofficial first feminist" when she championed equal pay.
Following the show, she reinvented herself, taking center stage in Las Vegas and earning accolades like Las Vegas Female Entertainer of the Year. The next decade saw her taking diverse roles, from starring in "She's the Sheriff" to captivating audiences in "Step by Step", and even hosting her popular talk show "The Suzanne Show" on Lifetime.
Beyond the limelight, Suzanne was a force in the wellness arena, remembered for the ThighMaster's iconic infomercial. Her dedication to health and wellness translated into over twenty books and numerous natural beauty products.
On aging gracefully, she once quipped, “Today I love aging, because I have found a new way to age”. Married for over 50 years, Somers and her husband Hamel showcased an enduring bond. In reflection, she often cited her contributions to health and wellness as her crowning achievement, leaving behind a legacy that transcends the screen and imprints on countless hearts.
