SHIRLEY JONES | 84

Shirley Jones started her acting career in 1953, and so far, her most notable performance was in Elmer Gantry, where she blew people away with her skillful acting. She has earned herself various awards, including an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. She also played the popular role of Shirley Partridge in the popular series The Partridge Family. She was able to make a $25 million fortune for herself and has never needed the services of a divorce attorney as she is now married with grandchildren. She might not have needed her seniors’ insurance, too, with the amount of wealth she has.

She is virtually unknown to younger generations unless one was able to follow her career. Her given name, Shirley, was based on late Hollywood actress and child star Shirley Temple. She was cast in The Partridge Family when she rejected the role of Carol Brady on the American situational comedy program The Brady Bunch. She made a cameo in the comedy program Children’s Hospital and the last we heard her was in a New York Post article where she shared memories of her time on the set of The Partridge Family during its 50th anniversary last September 2020.
