Suzanne Somers, best known for her roles on “Three’s Company” and “Step by Step,” passed away on Sunday after battling cancer. The veteran television actress was 76 years old.
During the 1960s and early 1970s, Somers began landing bit parts in movies and television shows. Her big break came in 1976 when she was cast in the ABC sitcom “Three’s Company.” The successful sitcom ran for eight seasons, of which Somers starred in seasons one through five, exiting the show after a contract dispute.
In the ‘90s she would return to another successful television series as one of the leads on the “Step by Step,” which ran for seven seasons. Throughout her decades in the spotlight, Somers had many red carpet and event appearances. Here, WWD takes a closer look at some of her signature style moments through the decades.
