Suzanne Somers, the actress who starred in sitcoms like Three’s Company and Step by Step in addition to leading a health and wellness empire, has died at the age of 76.
Somers’ publicist R. Couri Hay confirmed the actress’ death Sunday in a statement to Rolling Stone, with Somers’ death coming just one day before her 77th birthday. Earlier in the year, Somers revealed that she was diagnosed with a recurrence of breast cancer after previously battling the disease in 2000.
“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,” Hay said in a statement, adding that she was surrounded by her family as they had gathered to celebrate her birthday tomorrow.
