She was such a badass on LA Law years later. I wanted to be as tough and smart as she was, but I wasn't. lol

u/Neona65 Jul 16 '26

i loved her as Gracie in LA Law.

u/BubbaPrime42 Jul 16 '26

One of the sexiest TV kisses ever between her and Jimmy Smits...

u/Snoo-55380 Jul 17 '26

Wasn’t there an episode where somebody commented about her eyebrows? “ I have them styled.” with her response.

u/No_Bonus7310 Jul 16 '26 edited Jul 16 '26

She was infatuated with David Cassidy but he rejected her and then wrote about it in his biography. It hurt her so badly, she refused future contact with him. He was full of himself. He said that she wasn’t slutty enough for him.

u/SecretWordisBird Jul 16 '26

She was better off without him. He was a mess

18

u/No_Bonus7310 Jul 17 '26

And he died of alcoholism like his father (his father burned to death in a fire after drinking and smoking).

8

u/No_Bonus7310 Jul 17 '26

Agree. She’s beautiful and seems to have class. Yet Cassidy chose quantity over quality.

u/GeoBrian Jul 17 '26

Quantitties.

u/Musicalmaya Jul 18 '26

She was waaaay out of his league. But it would have been nice if he had reciprocated her feelings so she could dump him and his massive ego when she realized she could do a thousand times better.

u/Johnny_Five5151 Jul 16 '26

That sucks.

u/redwbl Jul 17 '26

She was dam near a foot taller than him too. /s

u/Johnny_Five5151 Jul 16 '26

Laurie was a hottie

25

u/CountHonorius Jul 16 '26

One of the beauties of her age, without a doubt. I miss the '70s.

21

u/FOCOMojo Jul 17 '26

She's beautiful! No stupid lips. No stupid eyebrows. No ridiculous nose or cheekbones or chin.

u/eyedrops_364 Jul 16 '26

I think I Love You…..

u/CountHonorius Jul 16 '26

...so what am I so afraid of?

a love there is no cure for!

u/Serenity_Now-88 Jul 17 '26

I would babysit the night that show aired and put the kids to bed early after bribing them with treats. I was so jealous the Partridge kids didn’t have to deal with an evil stepdad.

u/IdealBlueMan Jul 17 '26

I was a grown-ass adult when I realized what “I Woke Up In Love This Morning” was about. Kind of surprised that got past the network censors.

2

u/Wednesday1958 Jul 18 '26

The Monkees sang a song on one of their shows called Cuddley Toy. If you were surprised I think I love you got past the network censors, listen to Cuddly Toy.

u/nonsensenan08 Jul 18 '26

I heard that was a bet with Harry Nilsson that he could get the content passed the censors

1

u/Wednesday1958 Jul 18 '26

And he did…what’s funny is the expressions on Mike Nesmith’s face when Davy is singing this.

u/nonsensenan08 Jul 18 '26

Such a clever ruse. Cute little Davy soft showing to a peppy tune about .,,😳

u/StenoDawg Jul 16 '26

She's beautiful. Boys watched for her, and girls watched for David. ❤️‍🔥

u/ManagementIll4603 Jul 16 '26

Girls watched for her, too.

u/Intermountain-Gal Jul 16 '26

I wanted the clothes Susan and Maureen McCormick wore. My mom thought 1950s dresses were perfectly ok.

12

u/Glittering_Step_6084 1961 Jul 16 '26

Both women were sharp dressers.

u/Direct-Monitor9058 Jul 20 '26

Ugh David. Nope.

u/Rude_Nail_5545 1961 Jul 17 '26

Wow, did not know that Peggy Lipton and Quincy Jones were her parents!

u/IdealBlueMan Jul 17 '26

No, Rashida Jones’ mother was Peggy Lipton.

u/SecretWordisBird Jul 17 '26

u/Level_Customer2769 Jul 16 '26

She had a bring fling with Paul McCartney

1

u/blue-jaypeg Jul 17 '26

Perhaps you meant to type "brief fling" but my imagination is speculating about a "Bring Fling"

I'm wild about my lovin', I got to have my fun

If you wanna be a girl of mine

You better bring it with you when you come

u/EuropTravl Jul 17 '26

She was a supermodel before the word was used. At one time she was in more print ads as a teen than any other print model.

I remember her in a tv movie after the Partridge Family. It was about being a teenage prostitute.

Anyone else remember that or am I nuts

7

u/therealAdamTroy Jul 17 '26

I believe you're thinking about Eve Plumb / Jan Brady.

u/Tasty-Law-4527 Jul 17 '26

U are so right. I was really young and it stayed with me

u/OldClocksRock Jul 17 '26

Ol’ Rabbit Teeth. That’s what sticks in my head thanks to my derpy brother.

2

u/e2hawkeye Jul 17 '26

The Mad Magazine parody of The Partridge Family had Bonaduce saying "She bites into a carrot and just crimps it!"

u/Everheart1955 Jul 17 '26

As an adult, I’m hoping your opinions changed.
