Totally Normal: Suzanne Somers' Widowed Husband Had A Clone Built That Looks Absolutely Nothing Like Her
(PLEASE SCROLL THROUGH THE PICS IN THAT SLIDESHOW ABOVE BEFORE READING THIS)
Entertainment Weekly - Alan Hamel, the widower of actress Suzanne Somers, is working on an AI version of his late wife. The former TV producer presented a demo version of the project at a conference earlier this year, and in a recent sit-down with PEOPLE, he explained his efforts to recreate his wife with AI.
"Obviously, Suzanne was greatly loved, not only by her family, but by millions of people," Hamel said. "One of the projects that we have coming up is a really interesting project, the Suzanne AI Twin."
The AI robot has not only been designed to look like theThree's Company star, but was also trained by reading all 27 of her books, in addition to being fed "hundreds of interviews" that Somers did over the course of her career. Hamel said that he thought the robot was "perfect" when he interacted with it at the conference.
"It was Suzanne. I asked her a few questions, and she answered them, and it blew me and everybody else away," he continued. "When you look at the finished one next to the real Suzanne, you can't tell the difference. It's amazing."
He added, "I've been with Suzanne for 55 years, so I know what her face looks like, and when I just look at the two of them side by side, I really can't tell which one is the real and which one is the AI."
Hamel was married to the Step by Step actress for 46 years before she died on Oct. 15, 2023, just one day shy of her 77th birthday. Somers' death came amid a battle with an aggressive form of breast cancer, and according to Hamel, she expressed interest in the AI creation years before her death. He said the topic first came up in the '80s, when they met inventor and AI scientist Ray Kurzweil.
"It was Suzanne's idea," Hamel claimed. "She said, 'I think it'll be very interesting, and we'll provide a service to my fans and to people who have been reading my books who really want and need information about their health. So that's the reason we did it."
If you think this is weird you need to take a good hard look in the mirror and realize that you're the weird one.
What? Have you never been in love?
Apparently a large part of people have not. Because the comments and chirps from the peanut gallery I've seen everywhere are calling Alan Hammel deranged and creepy. And I couldn't disagree more.
This is no different from the cat ladies whose best feline friends pass over rainbow road or whatever and they stuff them and put them next to the couch so they can still watch General Hospital with them every afternoon.
Except Alan Hammel may or may not be fornicating with this lifelife sexdoll AI robot of his late wife. Which you know what? Even if he is, so what? It's not like its some bizarre animatronic fantasy doll. She looks exactly like Suzanne!
Just like Alan said, you can't even tell the difference!
(Here is the ET video interview with the guy. Definitely worth the watch.)
p.s. - Real talk, Suzanna Somers was such a babe it makes my head hurt. I can't even imagine being a horned up teenager in the 70s with her and Farrah Fawcett on network tv every week. Mamma mia. If you've ever been to a Good Night John Boy then you know we honor Farrah with a gigantic framed portrait of her famous red-swimsuit pinup. But you'd also be surprised to know that on the videos we loop on the tv's I have stock piled them with plenty of Threes Company scenes with Suzanne Somers looking absolutely fire.

I give Somers a lot of the credit for making me realize I was a big milf guy around the age of 12 or 13. As hot as she was in her early years, I'd argue she was even hotter when I was growing up and she was pumping out those Thighmaster commercials (good God),
and on TGIF's Step By Step.
R.I.P. to an all time smoke.
