Susan Dey
If you weren’t around in the 1970s, you might not be aware of just how popular “The Partridge Family” was during the early half of the decade. The show that involved many young actors and actresses included Susan Dey as Laurie Partridge, who was an unknown at the time since it was her first acting role. In the years that followed, Dey would continue to be a star, and although she’s been retired from acting for several years, the fact that she was on “The Partridge Family” automatically makes her a part of Americana.
