Three’s Company told the story of two roommates – Chrissy Snow, a secretary, played by Somers; and Janet Wood, a florist, played by Joyce DeWitt – who rent the third room in their apartment to Jack Tripper, a culinary student played by John Ritter.During Somers’ contract negotiations with American broadcast station ABC in 1980, it was widely reported, she asked for a raise from US$30,000 to US$150,000 – equal pay with the series’ male star, Ritter. Instead of getting the raise, Somers was fired.

But her later reputation sprang just as much from her business acumen – which proved to be more formidable than ABC’s executives appreciated in 1980.
