Suzanne Somers’ Breakthrough and Sleep Patch Featured in Hit Movie

When the first episode of Sex and the City aired in 1998, the HBO television series became an instant success. Over the years, snappy dialogue from compelling characters in a gripping New York City setting earned the show a cult following of fans. Twelve years later, the four female protagonists from the show (Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda) reprise their roles in Sex and the City 2, a new full feature film based on the series.

At first blush, these characters, four wealthy women from New York City with a penchant for outrageous fashion, seem anything but realistic. But on a closer look, the movie is about ordinary women, with each character representing real women’s issues. This makes Sex and the City 2 the perfect forum to feature Suzanne Somers’ New York Times Best Seller Breakthrough: Eight Steps to Wellness, which addresses health issues that affect women. As many of you know, Breakthrough also includes a chapter on our LifeWave patches.

The book is featured heavily in the film. Kim Catrell’s character, Samantha, leans on Breakthrough to help her navigate through aging and menopause. In one scene, Samantha declares, “I am leading the way through the menopause maze. With my vitamins, my melatonin sleep patches, my Progesterone cream, a touch of testosterone …” In another scene, on a long flight to Abu Dhabi, Samantha prepares for a good night’s rest with her sleep patch! Samantha always has a copy of Breakthrough with her and hands it out at every opportunity.

LifeWave Ambassador Suzanne Somers attended the Sex and the City 2 premiere on May 24. According to Suzanne, the film’s producers called and asked her if they could use the book in the movie and she was glad to oblige. In its first weekend, Sex and the City 2 grossed more than $37 million at the box office! The movie has exposed Breakthrough to countless more fans. Congratulations to Suzanne and her team for such a great achievement!
