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.
Mom And Dad Going Viral After Birth Of Black Baby Because Both Are White
A baby’s birth is always cause for celebration, particularly when, after months of waiting, it’s time to finally see them in person. Nothing compares to touching our babies for the first time, even though ultrasounds allow us to glimpse them in the womb.
Babies frequently astonish us with their special qualities, such as adorable dimples or a hairy head. The most unexpected development, though, is when the child no longer resembles either of its parents.
This is what occurred to a family whose tale gained widespread attention and sparked internet rumors and speculation. Continue reading to learn what transpired.
At the Tennessee Celina 52 Truck Stop, Rachel works as a cashier. She gave birth to her son Cash Jamal Buckman on February 17. However, what caught people’s attention was that, although Cash appeared to be black, Rachel and her fiancé, Paul Buckman, are both white.
The truck stop wished Rachel luck with her new baby and shared a photo of the content family on Facebook.
The tweet said, “We are happy for our cashier Rachel and her fiancé Paul Buckman on the birth of their baby, Cash Jamal Buckman, on Saturday at 6:18 p.m.”
Nevertheless, the message drew criticism rather than support, with some speculating that Paul might not be Cash’s biological father.
Celina 52 Truck Stop updated their article to confirm that Paul is the father in response to the rumors. Due to her African American ancestry, Rachel may jump generations and give birth to a child who has darker complexion.
They concluded the post with the words “Please be kind,” and mentioned that Cash might have jaundice, which is common in newborns.
Internet jokes and queries persisted even after the truck stop responded.
Someone posted: “Happy birthday! He certainly looks like his father. What is his location?
Another person wrote, “Definitely needs a DNA test; what if they accidentally mixed up the kiddos in the nursery?”
Meanwhile, there were many who sympathized with Paul. “I feel bad for Paul, being duped like this is a whole new level of creep,” someone commented. Maybe he’ll come to his senses.
At that point, Rachel made the decision to take action on her own. She shared what she believed to be her DNA results on Facebook to demonstrate her ancestry.
Perhaps the results of my heritage DNA would dispel the naysayers’ claims that I [don’t] have black DNA. NOW QUIT discrediting my reputation and the name of my fiancé, Paul Buckman. “He truly is Lil Cash’s father,” she added.
However, the jokes persisted, and a good number of them ridiculed the circumstance and questioned the accuracy of the test findings.
It’s the strongest one percent I’ve ever seen. Someone said, “Looks like Maury has a job here.”
With comparable DNA, a second member commented, saying, “I have that too… and both my babies still look Irish as a boiled potato.”
The story swiftly gained popularity on social media, inspiring hundreds of individuals to share their feelings and opinions. Users from TikTok also jumped into the chat, contributing their own humorous perspectives on the situation.
Celina 52 Truck Stop announced that they would be administering polygraph and DNA testing to their employees in response to persistent rumors. The announcement incited even greater outrage, and many are now impatiently awaiting the conclusion of the probe.
This unexpected change of events has garnered a lot of attention, turning a routine birth announcement into a global sensation—even if nobody knows the whole truth.
