Susan Dey Had A Big Crush
Susan Dey was only 17 when she was cast as Laurie Partridge. She had a huge crush on her on-screen brother, David Cassidy, but he didn’t feel the same way. He stated in interviews he saw her more as a sister than a love interest. Shirly Jones stated, “Throughout the series, Susan Dey continued to be crazy about David, but he didn’t handle her emotions for him particularly well or sensitively.”
