Suzanne's thoughts on fitness, health, happiness and aging issues for women, plus why she says she's found "the fountain of youth!"
First, there's Suzanne the actress who made her screen debut as the mysterious blonde in the white Thunderbird in George Lucas' 1973 classic American Graffiti. But after that auspicious beginning, things were slow for the budding actress. In fact, things got so bad that Suzanne briefly considered abandoning her dreams of stardom in order to start a cooking school out of her California home.
Fate stepped in, however, in the form of a television show called "Three's Company," in which Suzanne skyrocketed to stardom and won the hearts of America as Chrissy Snow. The rest is history. Three's Company went on to become one of televisions most beloved hits and it still enjoys a healthy life in syndication today.

Suzanne is currently in her third season as the co-host of "Candid Camera" on CBS-TV, but show business life between "Three's Company" and Candid Camera" has never been dull. Along the way, Suzanne hosted Fox's "The Late Show" on a rotating basis, starred in three network television specials, her own daytime talk show "The Suzanne Somers Show" and another television series "She's the Sheriff" which ran for three seasons and is still seen in syndication. Her role opposite Patrick Duffy on "Step by Step", which ran for seven seasons had probably brought her as much fame as that of Chrissy.
But there's so much more to Suzanne Somers than Suzanne the actress, or even Suzanne the nightclub entertainer, who regularly wows audiences in Las Vegas, Monte Carlo and Atlantic City.

There's Suzanne the author who has penned seven books, two of which, Suzanne Somers' Eat Great, Lose Weight and Suzanne Somers' Get Skinny on Fabulous Food, appeared simultaneously on the New York Times bestseller list in the top positions. These two books have inspired millions of people to start "Somercizing," Suzanne's low carbohydrate eating plan that has people realizing that staying lean and healthy doesn't have to mean deprivation.
Suzanne the Chef does all of her own cooking, something she says, stems from a love of the art which began in childhood. The recipes in Suzanne's books are delicious, regardless of whether the reader is trying to lose weight or not.
Another side of the multi-faceted Ms. Somers is her work on the subjects alcoholism, addiction and recovery. Through her books, "Keeping Secrets" and "Wednesday's Children" she shared her own painful experiences as the child of an abusive, alcoholic father and offers help for adult survivors of abuse. Her personal and compassionate insights into these difficult topics have led to yet another career as a sought after public speaker.
Suzanne's latest book, "365 Ways to Change Your Life" emphasizes the importance of living one day at a time. Her insights are designed to help her readers through rough times and make the most of happy times, with daily affirmations, wisdom and insight.
Then there's Suzanne the entrepreneur, who markets her own line of jewelry, a top seller on TVs Home Shopping Network. She's also the owner and spokesperson for the wildly successful line of personal fitness products.
It seems like there is nothing Suzanne Somers can't, or for that matter, doesn't do. My interview with Suzanne began while she was in her car, returning from spending the day at an archeological dig near her New Mexico home. She says she loves sifting through the ruins where "the ground is oozing with so much...incredible things," and that she's been pursuing the hobby for years.
But out of all Suzanne's roles, she seems to truly value that of wife and mother foremost. Married to Alan Hamel for over 30 years, a feat which in itself must be some kind of Hollywood record, her books are peppered with family photos of their three children and five grandchildren (yes, this gorgeous woman is actually a grandmother!). Any time she speaks of her family, her voice takes on an extra degree of animation.
My conversation with Suzanne was terrific. She's so full of energy and so knowledgeable on such a wide variety of topics, I could have listened to her for hours. She radiates optimism in every opinion she offers. Not the mindless, cheerleader kind of optimism so prevalent in today's politically correct society, but the kind of optimism that empowers people to believe in and actually achieve their goals. After all, she practices what she preaches, and look at all that this amazing woman has accomplished.
