Suzanne Somers, the actress whose career encompassed five seasons on the 1970s TV sitcom Three’s Company, a Las Vegas revue show, a role in American Graffiti, two autobiographies, four diet books, a book of poetry and a spell as an exercise-equipment spokeswoman, has died after a long battle with cancer. She was 76.

The actress died early Sunday morning, Somer’s publicist, R Couri Hay, told the New York Post. “Suzanne Somers passed away peacefully at home in the early morning hours of October 15th. She survived an aggressive form of breast cancer for over 23 years,” he said.
