Best known for her role in 70’s and 80’s comedy Three’s Company, actress Suzanne Somers died on October 15. She died one week short of her 77th birthday.
Her publicist R.Couri Hay said in a statement that she passed away peacefully at her home in the early hours of the morning. She had suffered from an aggressive form of breast cancer for more than 23 years.
Hay also said that Somers led a full life right until the end.
She was planning to spend her 77th birthday with her husband Alan Hemel and three children, Leslie, Stephen and Bruce as well as their spouses and six grandchildren.
Somers in remission
Somers had been in remission from cancer right up until July this year when she found out that it had returned.
At the time she had posted a photograph of herself and Hemel, 87 stating; “As you know, I had breast cancer two decades ago, and every now and then it pops up again, and I continue to bat it down. I have used the best alternative and conventional treatments to combat it. This is not new territory for me. I know how to put on my battle gear and I’m a fighter.”
In the post she also thanked her husband and her family for standing by her all these years.
Somers starred as Chrissy Snow in Three’s Company from 1977 to 1981, as Carol Foster Lambert on Step by Step from 1991 to 1998 and as Sheriff Hildy Granger in She’s the Sheriff from 1987 to 1989.
She also penned several books which have appeared on the New York Times best seller list.
