Suzanne, who is survived by many loved ones, including her son Bruce, has more grandchildren besides Camelia. Here's more information about the late star's journey as a grandmother.
More about Suzanne's Role as a Grandmother
In December 2017, Suzanne sat down for an interview, revealing she was a grandmother to six grandchildren! The actress confessed that the best thing about having so many grandchildren was falling in "love all over again."
On the soap opera, Suzanne's granddaughter appeared as Charlotte, an employee of Forrester Creations.
The year before, in May, Camelia shared a Facebook photo of herself, Suzanne, and two other women and described them as her "incredible role models." Later that year, the actress' granddaughter appeared in another Facebook post with her grandmother, calling her "My day 1."
In January 2018, the "Three's Company" star was featured in People magazine's "Celeb Moms Get Real" episode, where she opened up about being a grandparent. She said one of the most incredible things about having grandchildren is that they "just love you."
The celebrity revealed they didn't have to bicker about what was theirs, hers, or ours. She also confessed that she loved cooking for them because they were a family big on food, but the main perk of being a grandparent is that she didn't have the responsibility of parenthood!
However, Suzanne admitted to feeling "successful" when she looked at all of them and when her whole family came together.
One grandchild who made the actress proud is Camelia, who followed in her career footsteps. She made her acting debut in the summer of 2015 by guest-starring in "The Bold and The Beautiful" and got to reprise the role in 2023.
On the soap opera, Suzanne's granddaughter appeared as Charlotte, an employee of Forrester Creations. When she first starred in the role, she was an intern at the same company, and the show's head writer, Bradley Bell, created the character specifically for her.
