Actress Susanne Somers talked to KIRO Radio’s Dori Monson about her difficult upbringing, her rise to television stardom, and her new book, “Two’s Company,” which details her 50-year relationship with her husband Alan Hamel.

“He’s my best friend, he’s my lover, he’s my business partner. He makes me laugh, I make him laugh. He turns me on, I turn him on. We have a lot of sex, which I talk about in this book,” Somers said.

Somers, 71, was adamant on that last point. “We’ve got juice and we’ve got energy,” she said.
