Chrissy Snow
Encyclopedia : C : CH : CHR : Chrissy Snow
Christmas Snow, better known by her nickname of Chrissy, was a fictional character on the sitcom Three's Company. Chrissy was played by Suzanne Somers.
In the original unaired pilot to Three's Company, Chrissy was portrayed by Suzanne Zenor. Zenor was not picked on for the second filming, so actress Susan Lanier took over the role. Finally, for the final product, Somers won the audience.
She shared an apartment with Jack Tripper and Janet Wood. In one episode, Chrissy explained that she was named "Christmas" because her father was a big fan of Bing Crosby. In another episode, Chrissy states that her name is due to having been born in December.
Chrissy helped further a common stereotype that women with blonde hair are somewhat dumb, as evidenced by common misunderstandings on Chrissy's part (when a police officer came to investigate a robbery at the residence, he remarked, "Who would leave an envelope marked "Rent" with money in it in plain sight? No one's that stupid," to which Chrissy replied, "But we are!").
She worked as a temporary typist and mentioned her work in the typing pool regularly. Chrissy was very innocent (due to her upbringing in a religious family; her father was a minister), and not only frequently unknowingly uttered double entendres, but was also leered at by many men on the series, even though she was rarely interested in anything other than love.
Her roommate Janet remarked that Chrissy totally fell apart at the littlest hint of "sweet talk." In another instance, Chrissy was picked up by a police officer, who believed she was a prostitute, despite her innocent and good intentions.
Somers eventually left the series under the guise of Chrissy's taking care of family in Fresno. She was replaced by Chrissy's cousin, Cindy Snow, played by Jenilee Harrison.
