BillsPride12 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 I have fond memories of watching her as Carol Lambert on Step by Step growing up. One of the all-time great TV Milfs.

She had a lot of problems with both career and life early in life and I am glad she was happier in later part of life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was good to see her doing so well later on, as her acting career was very short lived. I wish that there have could have been more straightforward comedy for her instead of the silliness and wacky comedy that she mostly got.

RIP The story is that she was the unlucky actor who got hosed by the networks. They colluded and decided that the best way to keep actor salaries down was to play hardball with the next one to ask for a new deal and make an example of them rather than negotiate in good faith. That is why she was replaced on Three's Company. My father used to live in Blackhawk, CA. One day his next door neighbor asks him over to meet his niece. My dad goes over and Suzanne Somers is sitting there. He said she was very nice and personable. She also said that she made way more money doing advertisements for the Thighmaster than she ever did acting. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reportedly she claimed false injuries after they refused to give her raise she wanted and at one point they had her film her scenes separately. Sounds like one of the players under contract demanding new one and when management refuses come up with phantom injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t remember that, but I do know that it got ugly and her being replaced was a big deal at the time. I can’t remember if that change caused its decline or if it was already happening.

ChevyVanMiller Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 As much as I loved her in "Three's Company," she will forever be the beautiful star-crossed blonde in the white T-Bird in "American Graffiti." 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She seemed the cool and good mom. Although I remember her and Frank always wanted to get it on 😅 When I started getting older though I looked at her and Peg Bundy differently like that.

SoTier Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I think it's ironic that the ditzy blonde of "Three's Company" was a really sharp businesswoman. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 RIP. Loved Three’s Company as a kid. Sad that both John Ritter and SS now have passed.

k2mountain Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Suzanne Sommers and my Mom... both had long fights with cancer and lost. Suzanne fought it for 23 years. Mom was once declared cancer free, only to have it reappear after 15 years. Breast cancer sucks. Make sure your loved ones get yearly mammograms. May they rest in peace. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenorthremembers Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Flags were flying half mast at the Tonawanda vs. Medina football game last night.

eball Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I feel a strong sense of melancholy reading reports like this. Three’s Company was a staple of my youth. We just didn’t appreciate then that women were suppressed and exploited in every way. I also didn’t remember just how attractive she was.

RIP Suzanne… There is always these discussions on which was better. Ginger or Mary Ann, Bailey or Jennifer, Joyce or Chrssy. I always was on Bruinette side; I guess that is partly why I married an Asian. I am also allergic to peroxide and I discovered later sillicones.

I’ve never been a “blonde bimbo” kind of guy, which is why I was surprised at how attractive Suzanne was when I saw some old clips this week.
