It is saddening to learn that Uber businesswoman and actress Suzanne Somers has passed away. Tomorrow, she would have turned 77. She had battled breast cancer for over two decades. Will never forget "Chrissy", her character in the hit TV show Three's Company. pic.twitter.com/3enR0EaXTu

Funny and beautiful. Rest in Peace, Suzanne Somers.
I was fortunate to have met her on several occasions. I was inspired by her scenes in American Graffiti to buy a T Bird. pic.twitter.com/nYktqzkEo4

Suzanne Somers, 'Three's Company' and 'Step by Step' Star, Dies at 76 https://t.co/qiTHyk6kVE via @variety So saddened to hear this. She was supportive and a good friend when I was first diagnosed with black mould. She would whisper "We are survivors" when we met.

Somers, who had previously battled skin cancer and hyperplasia during her 20s and 30s, was diagnosed with breast carcinoma in her 50s.

In July, she revealed she had been battling cancer for years. She told Entertainment Tonight: "I've lived with cancer ever since I was 20." Every time this little f---er pops up, it continues to annoy me. "I try to resist this disease."

This week, a private family burial will be held for Somers. A memorial service is scheduled to take place next month.
