Suzanne Somers the Hollywood actress known for her role in Three is a crowd (Apartment for three in Spain), has died at the age of 76. The news was known through a statement sent by his publicist, R. Couri Hay.
“Suzanne Somers died peacefully at home on the morning of October 15. She survived a form of breast cancer for over 23 years. Suzanne was surrounded by her partner, Alan, her son Bruce and her immediate family. Everyone “They were gathered for his 77th birthday on October 16. But now they will celebrate his extraordinary life.”
The actress becomes known when she gets the role of Chrissy Snow in Three is a crowd. The character is a naïve and optimistic young woman who shares an apartment with Janet (Joyce DeWitt) and Jack (John Ritter) in Santa Monica, California.
The series ran on TV for eight seasons, although Suzanne Somers only participated in five. During the fifth season, her participation was reduced due to the sudden success and fame obtained during the first years of production. The actress demanded a significant increase in her salary, from $30,000 to $150,000 per episode and 10% of the show’s income. .
The production did not accept the salary increase but they knew that the series would suffer greatly without Somers’ presence, so they reached an agreement. She would appear during the last minute of some episodes. These scenes would be recorded without the presence of the other two main actors. This caused more friction with the producers and other actors, so she was unfairly fired.
Suzanne Somers and Joyce DeWitt did not speak for thirty years, but reconciled when the latter appeared on the series Breaking Through of Somers. She also had the opportunity to reconcile with John Ritter a few days before his death in 2003.
