Shirley Jones, at 87, even now graces our screens, her most recent role being as Grandma Lulu Baines in the 2021 film, “Bruce the Challenge.” Shirley has actually never stopped acting, first as an Academy Award-winning movie actress and then during her much-applauded days in “The Partridge Family,” taking only the occasional year or so off during her 66-year film and TV career.

Speaking of “The Partridge Family,” did you know that David Cassidy, who played her son “Keith,” was actually her stepson in real life? That must have led to some interesting moments on set! Coming up to present times, Shirley’s 2018 role as Mrs. Ryburn in “Eco-Teens Save The World” is one of my favorites. Although frankly, any role Shirley interpreted is well worth the watching.
