How many of you remember watching “The Partridge Family?” If you were a fan, you were probably enchanted by the beauty of Laurie Partridge who was played by actress Susan Dey.
When Susan was offered the role in the ABC series which lasted for four years, from 1970 to 1974, she didn’t have any experience in acting, but casting her was the right thing to do as she was incredibly talented and it felt like she’d been in front of the camera many times before.
The adventures of the singing family which traveled from place to place to perform in a refurbished psychedelic school bus stole the hearts of many. After it finished in the States, it became a huge hit in the U.K as well and the cast gained huge popularity.
Susan’s colleague, David Cassidy, who played Keith in the show, quickly became a teen idol whom many girls adored. Among all those women who were crazy about him was Susan herself. She had a crush on him for a longer period of time, but the two only started dating after the show was over. Their relationship didn’t last long and they remained good friends until David published his book, C’mon, Get Happy: Fear and Loathing on the Partridge Family Bus, where he shared some intimate details of his relationship with Susan. Among the rest, he said he ended what he had with her because she was too innocent for him.
This made Susan mad. She vowed to never speak to him again and even refused to attend the cast reunion years later.
Since “The Partridge Family,” Susan was part of many movies and TV shows and even wrote a book titled, Susan Dey’s Secrets on Boys, Beauty and Popularity.
Over the years, she earned six Golden Globe and three Emmy award nominations before she won a Golden Globe award for Best Actress for the role of Grace Van Owen in “LA Law.”
According to Worldation.com, Susan turned down the role of Sandy in Grease and Olivia Newton John, who played that role, was offered the role of Laurie in “The Partridge Family” but her manager convinced her not to accept it.
Today, Susan is enjoying a quiet life with her husband and their family in New York where she grew up. She’s no longer under the limelight but she’ll always remain someone who made our young years awesome. No one really forgets such series as “The Partridge Family” no matter how much time passes.
Mean bullies started laughing when “quiet kid” took the stage, then the music began
When “Quite Kid” took the stage, all the bullies began to laugh, but you should see what happened when the music began.
Some people are born performers for large audiences. Many of the top performers in the world had to endure demanding rehearsals and practice sessions in order to feel as comfortable on stage as they do for the watching public.
Even some of the most well-known performers still have the same pre-show anxiety as when they were performing in their high school talent program.
When Brett Nichols has to perform in front of an audience, he still gets nervous. Brett may not seem it, but he is still a teenager. However, his dance moves are so similar that you might mistake him for Michael Jackson’s reincarnation.
Even while he hasn’t quite “made it” in the home entertainment industry, he did create a skill program that has inspired a great deal of people to follow in Brett’s footsteps and achieve their goals.
Brett’s peers perceive him as a quiet and reserved individual, so they are taken aback when he walks onto stage with the same level of confidence as the King of Pop. It almost seems like Brett had a private lesson, a master class, with Jackson, where he got to pick the famed performer’s head and learn his relocations from the expert.
In the end, though, Brett was never able to become close to Jackson. After countless hours of rigorous effort and dedication to the art form, he only recently learned the dance moves.
Brett had a reputation for being quiet and reserved in school, so when his classmates saw him strolling through the skill program’s next step, they didn’t know what to expect from him. Still, the crowd might have known they were in for a treat as soon as the music started.
A Michael Jackson song won’t be attempted by anyone unless they are extremely skilled at it. That was comprehended by the crowd.
Brett’s personality may be the most inspiring aspect of his productivity. He demonstrates how shyness may be shed like unwanted skin because he is perceived as one of the “shy ones” at school.
This efficiency is almost like Brett being a beautiful butterfly that emerges from its cocoon. His friends also see the progress he has made, which is one of the reasons this video clip has ended up being so motivating.
If Brett is capable of taking on the challenge, then so is everyone else who has been hiding their talent from the public due to shyness or insecurity.
Brett left a lasting impression on the judges of the competition as well as his audience at the efficiency. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that Brett placed first in the skill program.
As a result of his outstanding performance at the Pitman High School talent program in Turlock, California, Brett was invited to perform for his fans on ABC’s The View, NBC, and CNN.
Additionally, Brett has a deal with Michael Jackson tribute bands to start traveling with them. He has been struck all the way through.
