Behind the scenes, the bond between the cast was evident, especially in moments shared between DeWitt and Somers, who played Chrissy Snow. However, tensions arose when Somers sought equal pay. Seeking a 500% raise, her request led to friction and ultimately her departure. Her final scenes were filmed in isolation, which strained her relationship with DeWitt.
For decades, DeWitt and Somers did not speak, with Somers reflecting in 2020, “They painted me as the one trying to ruin the show. So, I never talked to anyone from the show ever again.”
Despite their long estrangement, the two actresses reconciled in 2012 on Somers’ talk show Breaking Through. Sharing a heartfelt hug, DeWitt praised Somers, saying, “You went up against ruthlessness, and it came down, but what you’ve gone on to do is immeasurable.” Their reunion marked a powerful moment of healing, and they remained friends until Somers’ passing in 2023.
In tribute to her late co-stars, DeWitt spoke fondly of both Somers and Ritter. She remembered Somers, who passed away from breast cancer, as “absolutely wonderful” and described Ritter, who died suddenly in 2003 from a heart condition, as “a true gift.”
Looking back at the memories from Three’s Company, we are reminded of a time filled with laughter, friendship, and unforgettable moments. These images and stories highlight the enduring legacy the cast has left behind.
Rest in peace, John Ritter and Suzanne Somers. Gone, but never forgotten.
If Three’s Company still holds a special place in your heart, share this tribute in their memory.
