My day with Shirley Jones! In addition to starring on Broadway and in some of the greatest musicals on film (Oklahoma, The Music Man). She also played the beloved single mom, Mrs Partridge, on The Partridge Family. She is the real life step mother of David Cassidy, who played her son on the show. I was thrilled to meet her. I put my cheek close to hers and sang "If I Loved You" the song she sang in Carousel. She was so warm and friendly. She is the exact same age as my mom. It's nice to meet a talented, famous person who is also truly gracious and kind. Thanks Shirley for all the years of music!
