SUZANNE CROUGH – A RARE TYPE OF CARDIOMYOPATHY

For those who grew up watching The Partridge Family in the ’70s, she will always be remembered as the red-haired pixie who was amazing at playing the tambourine. Crough found success by appearing in a Mattel Barbie ad before getting her start in The Partridge Family. In addition to acting, Crough received a degree in Pierce College and soon after owned and operated a bookstore until 1993.

After the original show came to an end in 1974, she tried her luck in the entertainment industry and landed on several shows, Teenage Father and Children of Divorce, to name a few.
Sadly, she was never able to work again in the film business. The child actress died at her house in Laughlin, Nevada, on April 27, 2015. She was only 52 years of age. Suzanne Crough’s cause of death was not disclosed immediately but was later on revealed that she passed away due to a rare type of cardiomyopathy called arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia.
