That's Right!


You Chose "B" Olivia Walton on The WaltonsThat's Incorrect!

Shirley Jones was offered the role of Carol Brady.

However, she turned down the role. As she put it, Shirley Jones didn't want to be known for "pulling a pot roast out of the oven every week." As Shirley Partridge, she was able to portray a working single mother.

The house the Partridge family lived in has had a pretty long career itself. Along with being the Partridge family home, the exterior was in Bewitched, The Donna Reed Show, Life Goes On, and the movie Pleasantville.

In real life, co-star David Cassidy was Shirley Jones's stepson. She met David's father during a stage production of Oklahoma!.

She and David Cassidy were the only two cast members who didn't appear in The Partridge Family cartoon series.
