142. Ashland, NY. The Partridge Family TV sitcom (1970-1974) was loosely based on The Cowsills, a real pop-music family, famous in the late 1960s. The Cowsills were approached to star in the Partridge Family series, but refused over the deal-breaker of Shirley Jones' portrayal of their mother. Partridge Family cast member Danny Bonaduce (b. 1959) says that his current wife Gretchen Hillmer encourages him to date other women.
