For the past 18 years, she has toured extensively with her nightclub act and was named Las Vegas Entertainer of the Year in 1986, in recognition of putting the “razzle-dazzle” back on the Vegas stage. She still appears at Caesar’s Palace as well as venues in Monte Carlo, Atlantic City and Lake Tahoe. Somers shot to stardom in the top-rated television comedy “Three’s Company.” Since that time, she has gained fame as a New York Times bestselling author, as well as a singer, entrepreneur and lecturer on business, health, fitness and food and the effects of addictions on families. Her acting career began when she appeared as the mysterious blonde driving the white Thunderbird in George Lucas’ 1973 cult classic “American Graffiti.” This led to her first of 150 appearances on the “Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.” After departing “Three’s Company,” she starred in two other sitcoms, “She’s the Sheriff” and “Step by Step,” which costarred Patrick Duffy. Somers hosted a daytime talk show, “The Suzanne Somers Show,” and co-hosted “Candid Camera” with Peter Funt. Having grown up in San Bruno, California, Somers detailed her childhood as the daughter of an abusive alcoholic and the effect it had on her life in the bestselling autobiography “Keeping Secrets.” That was followed by “Wednesday’s Children,” which discusses adult survivors of abuse. Her bestselling book “Suzanne Somers’ Eat Great, Lose Weight” introduced Somersizing, a sensible approach to a healthier lifestyle. Two other nutrition and fitness books followed.
