'Partridge Family' Star Suzanne Crough Condray Dead At 52

Source: http://www.huffingtonpost.com


"Partridge Family" star Suzanne Crough Condray died on Monday at her home in Nevada, the Clark County coroner's office confirmed to The Huffington Post. TMZ was the first to report the news and confirmed the news with her family members. She was 52 years old. According to the coroner's office, no cause of death was determined yet.

Crough appeared as tambourine-playing Tracy Partridge, the youngest member of the Partridge family, from 1970 to 1974, and also had roles on '70s TV shows like "Mulligan's Stew" and "Wonder Woman." Her last credited role was in "Children of Divorce," a 1980 made-for-TV movie.

I remember also watching Mulligan's Stew, but wasn't aware she was in that, too.

It was part of my own childhood, as well. Big crush on David Cassidy, of course!

My sympathies to Suzanne's family and friends.

She was rather young
I watched the show when I was little
She kind of dropped off the map after 1980 (In terms of acting)

She was only about 15 months older than me

She's a year younger than me. It's ironic that my generation usually played the "youngest" kids of those '70s shows (e.g., Susan Olson as Cindy Brady in the Brady Bunch) and you had Brandon Cruz in "The Courtship of Eddie's Father". All of us (like our Prez) are tail-end boomers.

R.I.P. and so sorry to see this....

Like others, this was a favorite show - notably because of that wild psychedelic bus that they used to tour in and we always got to hear the endless oooss and ahhhhhss from the "older kids" about David Cassidy (and here in Philly, Danny Bonaduce was a local who often came in town to cash in).

This was the era when the tambourine was king!

I always thought the bird (and egg) animation in the opening credits was cool -
