Susan Dey’s life after hit TV series “The Partridge Family” and her crush on colleague David Cassidy back in the day

Susan Dey rose to fame as Laurie Partridge in the 1970s hit TV series “The Partridge Family,” despite lacking acting experience. The show, featuring a singing family touring in a psychedelic bus, garnered immense popularity both in the U.S. and the U.K.

Dey’s co-star, David Cassidy, became a teen heartthrob during the show’s run. Interestingly, Dey herself harbored a crush on Cassidy, though they only began dating after the series ended. However, their relationship was short-lived, with Cassidy later citing Dey’s innocence as a reason for the breakup.

This revelation angered Dey, leading to a rift between the former co-stars. She refused to speak to Cassidy and declined to attend cast reunions. Despite this, Dey continued her acting career, earning multiple award nominations and winning a Golden Globe for her role in “LA Law.”

Dey also authored a book titled “Susan Dey’s Secrets on Boys, Beauty and Popularity.” Interestingly, she turned down the role of Sandy in “Grease,” while Olivia Newton John, who was offered the role of Laurie in “The Partridge Family,” was advised by her manager to decline.

Today, Dey enjoys a quiet life with her family in New York, away from the spotlight. However, her role in “The Partridge Family” continues to be remembered fondly, making her a cherished part of many people’s childhood memories.

MY DAUGHTER SWITCHED SEATS MID-FLIGHT—AND I FOUND OUT WHY TOO LATE It was supposed to be a quiet flight. Just me and my daughter, Reyna, heading to Phoenix to see my sister. I’d packed snacks, downloaded a few cartoons on the iPad, and even brought her unicorn plushie that she won’t sleep without. We boarded early, settled into our seats—me by the window, Reyna in the middle. I had just started zoning out, watching the tarmac, when I realized she was no longer beside me. I turned my head and there she was, squished in next to a man across the aisle, looking up at him like she knew him. “Reyna,” I said, trying to keep my voice calm. “Come back over here, baby.” She turned to me with the most serious face I’ve ever seen on a four-year-old and said, “No, I wanna sit with Grandpa.” I laughed awkwardly. “Sweetie, that’s not Grandpa.” The man looked just as confused as I was. “I’m sorry,” he said, glancing between us. “I’ve never met her before.” But Reyna didn’t budge. She grabbed the man’s arm with both hands and leaned in like she was guarding him. “She knows me,” she insisted. “You’re Grandpa Mike.” My stomach dropped. Not because I recognized the guy—he was a stranger to me—but because of the name. Mike. That’s my dad’s name. The dad who left when I was seven. The one Reyna’s never met. The one I never talk about. I tried to laugh it off again, but something about the way Reyna kept staring at him made my chest tighten. The man looked just as shaken as I felt. Then he said something I didn’t expect.⬇️ Continue reading in the first comment 👇
