Suzanne Somers, a prominent actress known for her support of Donald Trump, passed away at the age of 76, with her Instagram account confirming the news just one day before what would have been her 77th birthday. The statement shared on her Instagram account announced her peaceful passing at her home in the early hours of October 15th, highlighting her 23-year-long battle with an aggressive form of breast cancer. The message conveyed gratitude to her beloved husband Alan, her son Bruce, and her immediate family, who were preparing to celebrate her birthday but will now commemorate her remarkable life instead. Newsweek attempted to contact Somers’ manager for further comment.
The actress, famously known for her role in “Three’s Company,” openly praised former President Trump in 2018, expressing contentment with the state of the economy during his first year in office. In the past, she had voiced her dissatisfaction with the administration of Barack Obama, labeling it as one of the most divisive in her lifetime. Somers, a New York Times bestselling author, often highlighted her independent political stance and emphasized her entrepreneurial spirit, celebrating the innovation and self-reliance that contribute to America’s exceptionalism.
While Hollywood tends to lean left politically, Somers was not alone in her admiration for Trump, as other celebrities like Kirstie Alley, Jon Voight, Kid Rock, Roseanne Barr, and Kelsey Grammer have also expressed support for the former president over the years.
Following the news of Somers’ passing, various stars took to social media to express their sorrow and pay tribute to the late actress. Among them, Real Housewives of New York City alum Bethenny Frankel and Goldie Hawn conveyed their grief, while Olivia Munn expressed her sadness with a broken heart emoji. Caitlyn Jenner shared a heartfelt tribute on her Instagram, commemorating Somers as a true American icon and reminiscing about their past interactions.
Although renowned for her role in “Three’s Company,” Somers also achieved substantial success in business through the sales of her Thighmaster product and the publication of several books.
