I just wonder though how much of this movie was real or fiction? If a lot of it is true, all I can say is wow! There sure was a lot of backstage problems. Its a shame because the show is enjoyed by so many people. There was one part in the movie where they were escorting Suzanne Somers off the stage lot and they purposely walked her by a group of ladies auditioning for the part of Cindy Snow. Whoa, that's just plain cruelty. Who else saw the movie and what are your thoughts?

Suzanne was a terrific actress. IMO, she was the best blonde roommate Three's Company ever had. No doubt she was talented, but she was also greedy and in real life, she was a beyotch and deserved whatever came her way.

In an interview, DeWitt said that she made a LOT of modifications to the script after she read it because the events were too much dramatized. She understood it was for TV but lines were crossed to determine what was real and what was exagerated. She said she was able to remove some of the stuff but not all of it.

Only the people on the set can tell what really happened.

I've never seen this movie and I want to sometime. But from what I've read about it, it has lots of inaccuracies. I know it's on YouTube so that's probably where I will have to see it.

I beg for you to forgive me,since I know I am not to question you,but can you or any other person reading this tell me what all the parts were that are inaccurate ? I am not saying it was accurate,I am just wanting any person reading this thoughts. Larry was not a big enough character is what they may have been thinking,since they had enough content without him being in it.
I am looking for about the last 15 minutes of the story,since the only version I can find has the audio missing from it.The only thing I questioned was the exact model of cellular phone Suzanne was using might not had been available at the time she was placing that call and since I could not hear the audio of about the last 15 minutes,I can not comment on that.Under the management of Alan Hamel,Suzanne Somers got what she deserved by firing her previous manager after all he did for her,to have Alan Hamel manage her,which may have been the worst mistake of her life.
Here is the version I seen:

How the hell was Larry not a big enough character? I think you are getting him confused with the characters below

Mr. Angelino'
Mr. Travers
Felipe
Cindy

There are some innacuracies but its a fun movie for what it is, the actress that plays Joyce DeWitt pops up in commercials every now and then.

If you can get past the inaccuracies it was a very interesting movie. How can anything Three's related be uninteresting?

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behind_the_Camera:_The_Unauthorized_Story_of_Three%27s_Company for most of them.

During the episodes Cindy was on the show,she got more air time then Larry.
Larry was a secondary character,with only Lana being below him.
The other characters :
Mr.Angelino'
Mr.Travers
Felipe
were recurring characters.
I see the wikipedia references that state the scenes that are inaccurate,but there was one I think was accurate,it was when Suzanne was given both the blue and pink scripts,this was done to show her what the cast had to go through by learning two scripts by here not being responsible to show up for the taping of previous shows.

This morning I watched the first five clips of the story... and then the sixth segment has an "audio copyright" issue and cannot be viewed.

Ugh! I feel like I waited for the big finish at the concert, but the orchestra left during intermission.

Does anyone know where to watch the ending of the piece?

You ain't kidding! I swear I've seen that woman in commercials for about 6 or 8 different things!

LOL@Wawwie dissing Suzanne Somers hahahahahahahahahahahaha. I saw the Three's Company movie about a month ago for the first time and I liked it. The woman who played Suzanne was cute but she was acting ******** because she was being demanding to the people in charge at ABC network and her husband is to blame for her getting kicked off the show LOL. She shouldn't have listened to him and I heard she's still married to him LOL. The guy who played Mr Furley sounded just like him LOL. The woman who played Janet kinda looks like her.

LOL all you want, but they're the ones laughing because they've accumulated a wealth of $100 million together since then. I doubt if they have any regrets at this point.
