Six seasons into Three’s Company Suzanne Somers decided it was time to pay the piper. She demanded a 500 percent pay increase. The network refused and the relationship was broken. Still, she was an integral part of the series and made a few cameos before being fired and replaced.

Before returning to television for Step-By-Step, Somes made millions as the spokesperson for the Thighmaster. She continued to act until 2001 when she made her final appearance in the comedy Say It Isn’t So.
