Never thought much of her on screen (even as a constantly horny teenager, I thought Chrissy Snow was too stupid to be sexy), but she was damned impressive off of it. She had the balls to demand equal pay on "Three's Company" (and got canned for her trouble), had the big financial success with Thighmaster, and became a best-selling author. And she had the guts to fight that fucking disease for 23 years.

Rest in peace, Ms. Somers. You fought one hell of a fight.

I only watched reruns of Threes Company because it was somewhat before my time, but loved watching her on Step by Step.  Her and Patrick Duffy were remarkable together as parents on that show.  I still watch it, along with FRIENDS, like they never went off-air.  Ms. Somers character and personality were excellent outside of Hollywood as well.  She was one of the famed celebrities that never let the status go to her head.  She was an animal lover, and fought cancer for a while.  She beat cancer so many times and should be seen as a hero for it to many women.  RIP Ms. Somers!

She was canned from 3's co. for asking for a raise. Ritter was getting 150k/episode she made 30k and was probably the breakout star. I always thought she quit. Kudos to her for standing up for her rights. Allegedly she did negotiate residuals that her costars didn't get which chilled their relationships for years.
