Suzanne Somers is being mourned in the entertainment industry. Despite having a very dark childhood, the beloved Three’s Company star had a long and prosperous career.
As Somers put it, her role as “playing the dumbest blonde in America intellectually” on Three’s Company cemented her place in the annals of television. But things weren’t perfect behind the camera. Somers and co-star Joyce DeWitt developed into and remained long-term enemies.
Somers and DeWitt were eventually reunited. The late Three’s Company actress revealed what actually occurred before she passed away.
On October 16, 1946, in San Bruno, California, Suzanne Marie Mahoney was given the name Suzanne Somers. Her father, Francis, worked at a brewery, and her mother Marion was a medical secretary. In baseball and boxing, he had previously experienced some success, but it didn’t work out.
