Beloved Three’s Company star Suzanne Somers left the world following decades long cancer battle.

The show turned her into a household named loved by millions, and fans enjoyed every episode of it, but behind the camera things weren’t the greatest between some of the members of the cast. The relationship between Suzanne and fellow co-star Joyce DeWitt was a rocky one and the two turned into enemies. Sadly, they didn’t manage to make things right for a very long time.

Eventually, they reunited, but it took them years to do so. Before her passing, Suzanne opened up about her relationship with Joyce.

Suzanne Somers was born Suzanne Marie Mahoney on October 16, 1946, in San Bruno, California.

During her childhood, she was abused by her father. The actress once revealed that he called her “stupid” and “worthless.”

It’s not easy growing up with an alcoholic,” she said.

Sadly, the abuse lasted for quite some time until Suzanne decided she couldn’t put up with it any longer

We all have moments where your life can fall apart, or you can use it like judo — using forward energy to win, making the negative work for you,” she said.

Years later, her father asked for her forgiveness and she said that having to endure what she did only made her a stronger person.

Her life took a different turn when she started college, Lone Mountain College, which today is the University of San Francisco. During that time, she was forced to drop out of university because she learned she was pregnant.

Suzanne and the father of her child married and welcomed son Bruce Jr.

At one point, they almost lost Bruce Jr. in a car crash. When he was taken to counseling in order to be able to overcome the nightmares which came with the accident, the therapist understood that Suzanne was in need of therapy too.
