We fell in love with the Partridge family when they won us over with their voices and their comical ways. It was a series in the 70’s that cannot be forgotten, but over 40 years later, we wonder where they are now.
With some familiar faces still gracing our screens, we may have forgotten their one time appearance when they were fortunate to star alongside the singing family.
Names such as Jodie Foster, Dick Clark, and David Cassidy were all famous faces who continued a career in the entertainment business. Yet, we wonder what happened to the other main characters who played the talented Partridge family.
While David Cassidy was amongst them, having played the role as eldest son, Keith, his siblings were also a familiar face during the four years the show was on air.
Shirley Jones as Shirley Partridge | Then
Shirley Partridge was the widowed mother of five children on the series. Jones co-starred alongside her real-life stepson, David Cassidy, who played her eldest son, Keith, for the four years that the show was on the air.
Shirley also got a number one hit with her single from the show titled, “I Think I Love You.” Having started their careers at a young age, it would be expected that this was just the beginning for many.
Shirley Jones | Now
Shirley was married to Jack Cassidy with whom she had three sons with, but also became the stepmother of his son, David. While starring on The Partridge Family together, Shirley and David formed a close bond and even co-starred alongside one another in more works.
Shirley has since appeared on Days of Our Lives and General Hospital, while also appearing in musicals, to which her songs appeared on a “Then & Now” album in 2008 which featured songs from Jones’ musical career.
