Shirley Jones Profile
The Shirley Jones story is the quintessential American Cinderella Dream revisited so often for so many, real and unreal, it is almost Hollywood legend. But the Jones story is hardly anything as passive as legend. For it is not only gospel truth as it happened to Shirley Mae Jones but it remains a living part of a lady that continues to work, grow and nurture her unique role as the embodiment of all that is right and wonderful about the American Woman.
Indeed, it is difficult to not know Shirley, as she was the matriarchal head of a madcap brood known as The Partridge Family. For five years, Jones played Mrs. Partridge, the humorous, not-so down to earth mother of five.
