Synopsis by Betsy Boyd

Famous for her perpetually peppy Three's Company character, Chrissie Snow, Suzanne Somers overcame many difficult hurdles on the path to stardom. Intimate Portrait: Suzanne Somers explores the actress' life. Born in 1946, Somers spent her beginning years wetting her bed almost nightly due to anxiety brought on by her father's alcohol addiction. Years later, a therapist suggested that Somers' suffered from severely low self-esteem. Judging by her bio, though, Somers has always had strength and courage in great abundance. She has raised a son, acted in movies and television, performed an award-winning one-woman show in Las Vegas, and written a best-selling memoir. Ed Begley Jr. narrates the Lifetime video, which features interviews with the actress' family and friends, including husband Alan Hamel, son Bruce Somers, Dick Clark, Barry Manilow, mother Marion, and sister Maureen.
