Suzanne Somers dead at 76

Capping off the mournful tone of the weekend, the death of TV star and fitness icon, Suzanne Somers, was announced by the star’s longtime publicist, R. Couri Hay, who said she passed away peacefully at home in the early morning hours of Oct. 15 after an aggressive form of breast cancer she'd been dealing with for over 23 years.

Best known for her role as Chrissy Snow on the ABC sitcom "Three's Company," which she landed in 1977, Somers branched off into the fitness world during the 1980s as the spokesperson for the Thighmaster, a piece of exercise equipment that became a household item thanks in large part to her entertaining infomercials.
