Suzanne Somers is getting ready to publish her 27th book, and she has a lifetime of adventures to write about. The former Three's Company star is now 72 years old and an actress, singer, health spokesperson and successful businesswoman.
In addition to her plethora of book titles, Somers has developed the Suzanne Selects skin, body care, and clothing line. In January she'll release A New Way To Age.
Somers recently told Page Six that while she has had many setbacks -- a difficult childhood, dyslexia, a breast cancer diagnosis, and the loss of her Malibu home to fire -- she has repeatedly gathered herself together and moved forward. And one person has been by her side through almost all of it.
One of Somers' biggest successes has been her marriage to her husband Alan Hamel, whom she wed in 1977. The star told Page Six the secret to her long marriage is togetherness -- and maybe a nip of tequila.
"I'm married 42 years to Alan Hamel. We've never spent one night apart. He makes me feel beautiful. He brings me morning coffee. I wake up to him kissing me. He's got my back."
"Every night we have tequila. It's one hour. One drink. Tequila gives you a slight edge. You get mellow."
