<\/a>Suzanne Somers.<\/p><\/div>\n
Actually, I had had a bad feeling about her two days before she died. I had spotted a random, out-of-the-blue photo of Suzanne’s immediate replacement on\u00a0Three\u2019s Company<\/em>, Jenilee Harrison, whom I knew had married my former chiropractor. That made me\u00a0curious to see a picture of them now, so I looked-up \u201cImages\u201d for Jenilee. And what I got was a picture labeled as a \u201cThree\u2019s Company<\/em>\u00a0Reunion.\u201d The four participants looked pretty um, mature, shall I say, so I knew it was taken recently. And when Suzanne wasn\u2019t in it, my mind said, \u201cUh-oh.\u201d I was concerned that she was perhaps not well enough to join them, and actually wondered if she had passed away. And then two days later, she did.<\/p>\n The reason her death sort-of freaked Mr. X and me out is that uber-health-conscious Suzanne always seemed like she would outlast all of us.<\/p>\n Suzanne Somers.<\/p><\/div>\n My first glancing meeting with Suzanne Somers was very many years ago, when I was first in the business. I met her briefly through mutual friends. And then, a few years later, when Mr. X and I were already an item, he did a TV pilot with her. Suzanne made it abundantly clear that she adored working with him, and even lobbied the powers-that-be to make him her love interest on the show, as opposed to being the sidekick that he was cast to play. So that made me respect her.<\/p>\n What sort-of bonded us, though, came much later, and not in a fun way\u2014we shared our breast doctor. He would never discuss patients with one another, but I had read that she went to him. He was a self-confessed fan of my show, and when I mentioned Suzanne, he said he was a fan of hers, too. I knew that she was having medical issues in that area, so that I had chosen a doctor who was also working with someone who was so into her own health gave me a modicum of comfort.<\/p>\n And now that she\u2019s gone, please, everybody, let her death serve as a reminder to us all to not leave our health care until it’s too late. I was about to schedule my yearly mammogram, anyway, but now I’ll stop procrastinating and do it right away. I hope that all of you do, too.<\/p>\n<\/a>
