Little Danny Partridge
You just knew someone had to ask her.
In light of the recent troubles in an already turbulent life, Shirley Jones, who played Danny Bonaducci’s mom in “The Partridge Family,” was asked if Danny was a train wreck she could see coming.
“He was always a rebellious little kid and he had a tough home life too, so that didn’t help at all. We all became mothers and fathers to him. He would come to my house on the weekends and play with my kids. We all sort of took care of him. So I’m very sad to see what’s happened to Danny right now, because I feel very motherly towards him.
For those wondering what Jones is up to these days, she’ll be starring in the upcoming Hallmark Channel movie “Hidden Places.”
