With her varied skill sets, Suzanne Somers became successful in many fields. She was an actress, author, singer, businesswoman, and health spokesperson. But for those who have been following her career, she’ll always be remembered for her role as Chrissy Snow on Three’s Company.
Before all of this, Somers once sported a two-piece as a model for the game show, The Anniversary Game. In 1969, the stint was something she was delighted to have been selected for. She was just starting out and scouring for opportunities. Looking back though, it was a mere blip in her glittery career. She passed away in 2023.
Farrah Fawcett
At the peak of her career, everything Farrah Fawcett touched turned to gold. Everybody seemed to love everything about her. She had the looks, and the talent. Men were in love with her. Her fans liked nothing more than listening to her lyrical Texas twang. She was ranked among the 50 greatest TV stars of all-time.
Fawcett also appeared as a guest on the popular game show, The Dating Game. She was a promising up-and-comer back then. We can only imagine how hard the bachelors must have worked for the opportunity to be by her side.
Klimaszewski Twins
The management of the game show, Let’s Make a Deal, knew that they had a golden opportunity in front of them when Diane and Elaine Klimaszewski showed up. They didn’t waste time signing up the Polish identical twins as the host’s curvaceous assistants. They turned out to be a massive distraction to contestants and the game show audience alike.
The twins were one of a kind… or should we say two? They became famous, partly thanks to their regular game show exposure. The Klimaszewski twins went on to dabble in acting and wrestling; however, it was the “Coors Light Twins” ad that made them truly famous.
Jon Hamm
The character Don Draper, played by actor Jon Hamm, is simply dapper in the TV drama series, Mad Men. Hamm is regarded one of the sexiest men alive. He is confident, manly, oozing sex appeal. Yet you wouldn’t recognize him if you encountered the 1996 version of himself, back when he was a contestant on the game show, The Big Date.
Hamm was only 24 years old at the time. He went after all the girls he desired and came up with the cheesiest of lines. He was such a dog back in the day that he even got passed over twice by female contestants. Perhaps he annoyed them by using the word “fabulous” too much. Or maybe it was his long and floppy, ultra-90s haircut.
Anya Monzikova
By now, the link between Hollywood celebrities and the briefcase models of Deal or No Deal must be fairly well established. The game show has become a launchpad for newbies in the entertainment industry, a platform to gain public exposure, and its success rate is increasing pretty nicely.
Anya Monzikova used to be one of those gawked-over briefcase models. She’s so fine, and her Russian accent adds a tinge of strong personality that makes her even more sexy. She went on to be involved in minor films and became a celebrity. She hasn’t made it to ultra-stardom yet, but she raises no doubts regarding her potential.
