Suzanne Somers - $100 Million Will

The beloved actress and ThighMaster mogul dies one day before her 77th birthday, leaving behind a massive fortune

Suzanne Somers announced in July that 23 years after her first breast cancer diagnosis, she’d recently suffered a recurrence of the insidious disease. Though she vowed to “bat it down,” it eventually took her life on Oct. 15 — one day before her 77th birthday. “We were in bed together, and her breathing was erratic, and I had been talking to her for hours,” her husband of 46 years, producer-manager Alan Hamel, recalls, detailing the Three’s Company star’s final hours. “There was no response except when I kissed her” — he felt it in her lips, he says — “and then around 5 o’clock in the morning, she was gone.”
