Even so, her friends were reportedly begging her to rethink her decision. Sadly, it was too late.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Now, many weeks have gone by since Somers\u2019 death. The death certificate has been obtained by USA Today \u2013 and it paints a new picture of what killed her.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Suzanne Somers went from unknown to a star in a very short period. From appearing in plays in high school, she got her first significant role in the 1973 George Lucas film\u00a0<em>American Graffiti<\/em>, where she had one simple line, \u201cI love you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\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<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-suzanne-somers\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Suzanne Somers<\/h2>\n<p>Not long after, Suzanne Somers got a gig at\u00a0<em>The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson<\/em>, where she began reading poetry in front of a national audience every month. She credited herself as the \u201cMysterious Blonde in the Thunderbird.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-22\"><\/div>\n<p>It was difficult to miss Suzanne Somers, and this one TV executive didn\u2019t either. He offered her a role in a new television series called\u00a0<em>Three\u2019s Company.<\/em>\u00a0She was cast as Chrissy Snow and helped the series become a television mega-hit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am really proud of creating that dumb blonde cause she had a moral code. She was lovable,\u201d Somers explained.<\/p>\n<p>However, Somers\u2019 time on\u00a0<em>Three\u2019s Company\u00a0<\/em>got an abrupt ending.<em>\u00a0<\/em>She felt, rightly so, that she should get equally paid as the male leading actor, John Ritter, on the show, asking the producers for a 500 percent raise. Instead of the $30,000 she earned weekly, she wanted $150,000.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of getting a raise, Suzanne Somers didn\u2019t get paid at all. Why? She was fired.<\/p>\n<p>\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 she said.<\/p>\n<p>\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<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-138560\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/recipmo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/GettyImages-1351324640-scaled.jpg?w=1250&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"855\" height=\"1228\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"3860172862\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Harry Langdon\/Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Somers got some other roles, including starring in\u00a0<em>She\u2019s the Sheriff<\/em>\u00a0for 44 episodes, after\u00a0<em>Three\u2019s Company,<\/em>\u00a0but her passion had shifted.

At the time of her passing, Suzanne was said to have a net worth of $100 million.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Suzanne Somers \u2013\u00a0cancer<\/h2>\n<p>But while Suzanne Somers created a business empire, there was one other severe thing that she was fighting.<\/p>\n<p>In 2001, Somers revealed on Larry King Live that she had been receiving treatment for breast cancer for about a year. She explained that doctors discovered the cancer in April 2000 during a routine mammogram.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the last year I have been battling and surviving breast cancer, and I was in that clinic, and it all has to do with my breast cancer,\u201d Somers told Larry King. \u201cBut it just, you know \u2013 I have had such an honest relationship with the American public. I mean, I have written books on alcoholism, and blending families, and they have been with me on my ups and downs and sides. And this was just one of those things \u2013 I think the most shocking words I ever thought, I never thought, I would ever in my life hear someone say to me that you have breast cancer. And it was \u2013 it has been so\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Somers continued, \u201cI was in such shock. I\u2019m very strong, and I was in such shock because I have always taken care of myself, and, I just thought, it would never happen to me, but I think that is what everybody thinks; it won\u2019t happen to them. And, what\u2019s interesting is what you learn about yourself when you are diagnosed with cancer. And cancer is not for sissies.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-138513\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/recipmo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/GettyImages-458592654-scaled.jpg?w=1250&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"855\" height=\"1044\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"690792133\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Harry Langdon\/Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>While Somers said it took a couple of days to realize she had cancer, she decided to go \u201cto war.\u201d The actress gathered the doctors to get their views on how she would progress, and they said chemotherapy was the best way forward.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Suzanne Somers skipped chemotherapy for alternate treatments<\/h2>\n<p>However, Suzanne didn\u2019t want to and turned to other alternatives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs I\u2019m hearing the common course of treatment, I \u2013 I don\u2019t want to lose my hair, but that was the least of my worries was losing my hair.

I know it helps.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt does [work for breast cancer], but I decided to find alternative things to do,\u201d she continued. \u201cBecause I have done so much work in my books about hormones, and that hormonal balance is why people gain or lose weight, and, it was my belief that a balanced environment of hormones prevents disease. And the first thing they said to me, we are taking of off all hormones.

Her friends and loved ones urged her to reconsider so many times during her cancer battles and at the end. She never regretted her decisions, and she was prepared to go. She believed that she lived a life beyond her wildest dreams and truly made a dent in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the source said that Suzanne realized the end was near and could say goodbye to her loved ones just days before passing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe timing of her passing was a blessing because her loved ones were there. \u201cShe was able to say her goodbyes to everyone she loved, which was so many people. She was accepting of her fate and went with dignity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Suzanne Somers\u2019 decided to go an alternative route with different kinds of treatments, she also spoke about it through many other platforms, including books and when appearing on The Oprah Winfrey Show. Still, some remained very critical of her doing so.<\/p>\n<p>In a piece for CNN in 2009, Dr. Otis Brawley, chief medical officer for the American Cancer Society and CNN health expert, stated that Suzanne Somers\u2019 statements on alternative cancer treatments were risky and could have an effect on other people choosing not to go through with conventional treatments.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-138908\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/recipmo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/GettyImages-1198452352-scaled.jpg?w=1250&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"855\" height=\"570\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"1538812753\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">John Lamparski\/Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cShe is a wonderful actress, and I wish she would stick to her first chosen profession.

When used wisely, it can be useful,\u201d he added. \u201cIndeed, open-mindedness to other ideas is how we advance conventional medicine. Today, conventional medicine has the extract of a tree bark called aspirin or the root of a plant called vincristine because of observations from those who practiced non-conventional medicine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Suzanne Somers passed away on October 15 in Palm Springs, California.<\/p>\n<p>Just one day later, her widower, Alan Hamel, spoke to NBC about her last moments in life.

The two for the first while he was hosting ABC\u2019s\u00a0<em>The Anniversary Game<\/em>, and Somers starred as. a \u201cprize model.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe was eating and was, you know, taking her medicine,\u201d he continued. \u201cAll of a sudden, she wasn\u2019t responding, and she wasn\u2019t eating, and she wasn\u2019t taking her meds.
