The world of television is in mourning. This Sunday October 15, 2023, Suzanne Somers, notably known for having played Carol Foster in the series Our beautiful family, died of breast cancer at the age of 76. Information confirmed by his agent in the columns of People. According to the latter, the actress is dead “peacefully at home” surrounded by her family.
This Monday, October 16, 2023, the actress should have celebrated her 77th birthday. “Instead, they (his loved ones, editor’s note) will celebrate his extraordinary life and would like to thank his millions of fans and subscribers who loved him dearly.”
Last July, Suzanne Somers’ husband, Alan Hamel, took to his social networks to discuss the fragile health of the American star. “She is facing her breast cancer again. On June 6 she was given the all clear, but cancer is delicate and we will now monitor everything closely in the future”, he confided.

Breast and skin cancer
As a reminder, Patrick Duffy’s ex-sidekick had already faced breast and skin cancer. “I had breast cancer two decades ago, and every now and then it comes back and I continue to fight it. I used the best treatments to fight it. It’s not an unknown land for me […] Alan has been by my side every step of the way. I can’t even explain everything he did for me.”, Suzanne Somers had indicated.
And to add: “My cancer affected my entire family and once it hit me in my 20s, Alan and I became even closer and every moment of every day became precious. We didn’t spend a single day… ‘one without the other for over 42 years. This is the great advantage of my cancer.’ Touching confidences.
