\"\"\n

Beloved Three\u2019s Company star Suzanne Somers\u00a0passed away following decades long canc3r battle.\n

The relationship between Suzanne and fellow co-star Joyce DeWitt was a rocky one and the two turned into enemies. Sadly, they didn\u2019t manage to make things right for a very long time.\n

\n

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

\u201cIt\u2019s not easy growing up with an alcoholic,\u201d she shared.\n

\n

\u201cWe all have moments where your life can fall apart, or you can use it like judo \u2014 using forward energy to win, making the negative work for you,\u201d she said.\n

\n

Her life took a different turn when she started college, Lone Mountain College, which today is the University of San Francisco.\n

During that time, she was forced to drop out of university because she learned she was pregnant.\n

\"\"\n

Suzanne and the father of her child married and welcomed son Bruce Jr. At one point, they almost lost Bruce Jr. in a car cra:sh.\n

\n
\n\n

Suzanne\u2019s life continued to change when she got a small role in George Lucas\u2019 film American Graffiti.\u00a0\u201cThis is a life-changing moment. Five seconds on film that will never be forgotten,\u201d she said, adding that Lucas told her, \u201cEverybody will always remember the mysterious blonde in the Thunderbird.\u201d\n

She was offered the role in Three\u2019s Company after she got a gig at The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, where she began reading poetry in front of a national audience every month.\n

Instead of meeting her demands, Suzanne Somers was fired.\n

\u201cWhen I got fired, I thought, \u2018I should never have asked. Why did I ask? Why did I think I could get paid what men are being paid? Who did I think I was?\u201d\u2018 she recalled in 2015.\n

\n
\"\"\n

\n

\u201cRather than thinking, \u2018Hey, c\u2019mon. I have the highest demographics of any woman on television. I\u2019m on the No. 1 show. I\u2019m doing the heavy lifting, too,\u2019 I went right into low self-esteem. I hid in my house for a year in absolute grief.\u201d\n

The two co-stars reunited after 30 long years on Suzanne\u2019s talk show Breaking Through and got to discuss their different paths in life. \u201cI have relentlessly said that it is my opinion that the only reason Three\u2019s Company is worth remembering is that it created an opportunity for all of us to laugh together, to celebrate joy. It\u2019s a profound gift,\u201d Joyce said on the show.\n

\n

\"\"\n

Following Suzanne\u2019s passing, Joyce DeWitt expressed her grief and paid tribute to her friend.\n

\u201cMy heart goes out to Suzanne\u2019s family,\u201d she told People. \u201cThey are a very close family \u2014 deeply connected and caring one to the other. I can only imagine how difficult this time is for all of them.\u201d\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
