Actress Suzanne Somers, known for her role in the television series “Three’s Company” and for various businesses related to fitness and health, died last Sunday at the age of 76, according to several media reports.
“Suzanne Somers passed away peacefully at home in the early morning hours of October 15,” Somers’ spokesperson R. Couri Hay said in a statement, according to People magazine.
“Suzanne was surrounded by her beloved husband Alan, her son Bruce and her immediate family,” the statement said. “Her family was gathered to celebrate her 77th birthday on October 16. In her place, they will celebrate her extraordinary life, and want to thank the millions of fans and followers of hers who loved her dearly. “.
The New York Times reported that Somers died at his home in Palm Springs, California.
Somers, who rose to fame as Chrissy Snow in the popular 1970s sitcom, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2000 and announced in late July that it had returned.
“I had breast cancer two decades ago, and every once in a while it comes back and I continue to fight it,” she said in an Instagram post on July 31. “This isn’t new territory for me. I know how to put on my battle gear and I’m a fighter.”
Beyond several television and film appearances, Somers was also known for writing numerous books, mostly focused on health and nutrition, as well as launching fitness products such as the “Thighmaster.”
