Why Shirley Jones Became Shirley Partridge

From August 2013: Oscar winner and TV icon Shirley Jones tells Ed that playing Shirley Partridge on The Partridge Family appealed to her because it allowed her to play a single working mom while also allowing her to stay at home and raise her real-life sons. Other topics include how Dabney Coleman made Shirley feel at home when she joined the cast of Slap Maxwell; how Shirley landed the role of Lulu Baines in Elmer Gantry as a result of a live TV appearance; and her favorite episode of The Partridge Family. Shirley Jones: A Memoir is available wherever books are sold.
