This Monday, October 16 should have marked Suzanne Somers’ 77th birthday, her family gathered to celebrate. But it is her memory that they will honor because the actress died on Sunday October 15 in the morning after 23 years of fighting breast cancer as well as skin cancer.
Born in California in 1946, under the name Suzanne Marie Mahoney, she began in the cinema with uncredited roles in “Bullitt” in 1968 then in “American Graffiti” by George Lucas in 1973. The file indicates that she is “the blonde driving the white Thunderbird” with the only response being “I love you” said to Richard Dreyfuss. She will have fun with this by creating a stage show called “The Blonde in the Thunderbird”.

She then appeared in famous series, such as “The Fun Cruise”, “Starsky and Hutch” or “The Man Who Was Worth 3 Billion”. But she became known by starring in the ABC series “Vivre à trois” between 1977 and 1981. She was fired for daring to ask for the same salary as the main actor, John Ritter.
She then put on a show in Las Vegas, wrote books and hosted a talk show, as recalled by “The world”. She found a leading role on television in the series “Our Beautiful Family” between 1991 and 1998 with Patrick Duffy, which was also widely broadcast in France and Switzerland.
