New York Times wrote:Suzanne Somers, who gained fame initially by playing a ditsy blonde on the sitcom “Three’s Company” and then by getting fired when she demanded equal pay with the series’ male star — and who later built a health and diet business empire, most notably from the ThighMaster, a workout device — died on Sunday at her home in Palm Springs, Calif. She was one day away from turning 77.
The cause was cancer, R. Couri Hay, a spokesman, said.

She was the best Chrissy, no doubt about that.
Not to denigrate John Ritter, but I'm sure she was justified in demanding at least equal pay. In the episodes I remember, the camera was mostly on her -- not true of her successors.
I'm glad she built a fitness empire.

I didn’t know anyone tuning in to see John Ritter. She made the show the success it was.

The cancer must have come back quite aggressively. I watched her on Nick Cannon's daytime talk show about 18 months ago--just before the series was canceled--and she still looked fantastic. We all should be so lucky to look as amazing as she did when we turn 76. And we all were lucky to grow up watching such a delightful and brilliant TV star and exercise mogul. May our Thighmasters fly at half-mast.
