Suzanne Somers

One of the most iconic women of the ’70s and ’80s, Somers nearly resigned herself to roles like “Blonde in the T-Bird”—her actual description in American Graffiti. (Not exactly the stuff of Oscar nominations.) Three’s Company, lucky for us, gave her a more prominent role. As Chrissy Snow, Somers donned skin-tight shirts and extra-short shorts—the epitome of fashion in 1977—showing off her famously toned legs and perfect chest. Somers continued to stoke libidinal fires as she hocked the Thighmaster—a piece of exercise equipment that she squeezed slowly, rhythmically between her legs—in one of the decade’s most pleasingly brain-searing infomercials. Good thing, too. Somers’ perfectly toned body made her by far the hottest mom on prime time during the full run of the ’90s sitcom Step By Step.
