What number of you have seen “The Partridge Family?” On the off chance that you were a fan, you were probably entranced by the excellence of Laurie Partridge, played by entertainer Susan Dey.
When Susan was offered the role in the ABC series that ran for four years, from 1970 to 1974, she had no prior acting experience. However, casting her was the right decision because she was highly talented and felt like she had been in front of the camera many times before.
The singing family’s journeys, in which they performed in a restored psychedelic school bus, captivated many people. It was a massive success in the United Kingdom after it was finished in the United States, and the cast gained much popularity there.
Susan’s colleague, David Cassidy, who played Keith in the show, quickly turned into a youngster venerated by numerous young ladies. One of those women who was obsessed with him was Susan. She had a crush on him for a long time, but they only started dating after the show ended.
Their sentiment didn’t keep going long, and they stayed brilliant companions until David composed his book, Hey Now, Get Blissful: Dread and Abhorring on the Partridge Family Transport, in which he talked about his relationship with Susan exhaustively. He also said that he broke up with her because he thought she was too young for him.
This enraged Susan to no end. Several years later, she refused to attend a cast reunion, vowing never to speak with him again.
Since “The Partridge Family,” Susan has appeared in numerous films and television shows. She has also written a book called “Susan Dey’s Secrets on Boys, Beauty, and Popularity.”
She got six Brilliant Globes and three Emmy selections before winning a Brilliant Globe for Best Entertainer for her exhibition as Elegance Van Owen in “LA Regulation.”
Worldation.com claims that Olivia Newton-John, who played Sandy in Grease, was offered the role of Laurie in “The Partridge Family,” but her management urged her not to take it. Susan also declined the role of Sandy in Grease.
In New York, where she grew up, Susan lives peacefully with her husband and their family. She is no longer in the spotlight, but our adolescence will always be remembered as our time with her. Regardless of how long passes, nobody fails to recognise a show like “The Partridge Family.”
