Suze Lanier-Bramlett, aka Susan Lanier, has accomplishments in nearly every facet of the entertainment business! An American actress and recording artist, she worked in theatre and radio as a teenager and then left her native Dallas and headed for New York City to attend New York University and continue her acting career. After appearing in numerous off-Broadway productions, TV commercials, and indie films, and giving birth to her son, guitarist, Eric Dylan Thomas, she relocated to Los Angeles.

No stranger to television success, her role as John Travolta’s girlfriend, Bambi, on Welcome Back Kotter gained her notoriety. She also starred as Sandi Chandler on the series Szysznyk with Ned Beatty, and was a series regular on Tony Orlando and Dawn's Rainbow Hour doing stand-up and comedy sketches with the many guests. She was originally cast as Chrissy in the hit sitcom Three’s Company, and appeared on the hit series Sha Na Na, performing sketches with Chuck Berry, Freddie Prinz, and George Carlin to name a few. Guest starring roles include the hit shows Happy Days, Phyllis, Barnaby Jones, Electra Woman and Dyna Girl, Alice, Police Woman and Eight Is Enough, and recurring roles on the hit soap opera Days of Our Lives and the Olsen twin's sitcom, So Little Time.

Her big break on Broadway was being cast as Jeannie in the musical Hair. She also starred in Night of the Iguana with Richard Chamberlain at the Ahmanson Theatre, and Last of The Honkie Tonk Angels alongside Leslie Jordan (The Help). Suze has also taken her talent to the big screen and is probably best known for her role in the original horror cult classic, The Hills Have Eyes. She appeared in the films Her Life As a Man, Madame X, A Man with Two Lives, and Area 51.

In the 1980's she established herself as a singer-songwriter, often collaborating with her late husband, rock/blues legend, Delaney Bramlett, (co-writer of "Superstar" w/Leon Russell, "Let It Rain" with Eric Clapton). She formed her own roots blues band performing in the Los Angeles club circuit integrating her music with stand-up comedy. Her recently released (and first!) CD, Swamp Cabaret, serves as the soundtrack to her one-woman live show of the same name. The CD was influenced by her East Texas, Southern Blues roots, and is both emotionally moving, as well as hilarious, with her storytelling and personal perspective on today's society's ideals.

In addition, Suze has spent many hours behind the camera as a producer, a director, and a well-known photographer, having had studios in LA, Dallas, & NYC. She has photographed for magazines, book and album covers, and other mediums worldwide. She is a passionate leader, supporting peace and equal rights movements. She most recently lent her support to the NoH8 campaign.
