Suzanne Somers
“Three’s Company” star Suzanne Somers demanded a higher salary and a percentage of the show’s profits from producers during the fifth season of filming. After her demands were denied, Somers was absent from work and after her role was reduced, she was fired from the show. Somers later claimed that she was fired because she asked to be paid as much as male actors like Alan Alda of “M*A*S*H.”
