Mr. Cassidy first rose to fame as a member of "The Partridge Family," the television sitcom about a musical widow and her five children who tour the country in a parti-colored bus performing songs.
The show, which ran from 1970 to 1974, was one of the first to blend fact and fiction, reality and fantasy. The series was inspired by a real singing family called the Cowsills. ABC had invited the children to play themselves but instead found a talented young cast that included Susan Dey and Danny Bonaduce.
