Susan
Hallock Dey (birthday December
10, 1952 in Pekin, Illinois) is an Emmy Award-nominated actress. The naturally brunette Dey is best known for
her roles as Shirley Jones's first daughter, Laurie Partridge, on the 1970s
sitcom, The Partridge Family, and as a California assistant district
attorney named Grace Van Owen, on the 1980s drama, L.A. Law.
Susan was a model before starring
as Laurie Partridge in the television series The Partridge Family from 1970–1974.
She was 18 years old when she won the part, and had no previous acting
experience.
While participating in The
Partridge Family, striving to be as thin as possible, Dey developed an
eating disorder, a form of orthorexia nervosa, according to A&E's
Biography. While suffering from this disorder, she would eat only carrot
sticks. People began to worry when Dey's skin turned orange from her disorder.
After a struggle, Dey overcame her disorder and regained her normal health.
In 2006, co-star David Cassidy confirmed persistent rumours he and Dey had a
brief sexual relationship, claiming he'd given in to pressure from her and
instantly regretted the liaison. He told US newspaper The Globe: "I
find a certain sluttiness very attractive in a woman, and Susan just didn't
have it. She was sweetness and innocence, a good girl, and I couldn't think of
her as anything but my sister."
After the end of the television
series, Dey strove to shed her wholesome image. She took several movie roles in
which she was required to appear nude or semi-nude, including a supporting role
in the 1981 thriller Looker. The new image did not significantly help
her career, however. Dey felt that she had become too typecast, and to this day
she refuses to talk about her days on The Partridge Family.
She nearly disappeared from the
public eye until her starring role in the TV series L.A. Law as Grace
Van Owen. She was critically hailed for her part in this role. She earned a Golden
Globe Award as "Actress In A Leading Role — Drama Series" for this
role in 1987. She was nominated four more times the following four years. She
was also nominated for the Emmy Award for "Outstanding Lead Actress in a
Drama Series" for this role.
Dey has been married to her
second husband, television producer Bernard Sofronski, since 1988. She has one
child, a daughter, Sarah Hirshan (born 1978). Her daughter's father is her
first husband, Lenny Hirshan (married 1976–1981). Susan Dey is a notable
graduate of Fox Lane High School in Bedford, New York.
Since the ending of L.A. Law,
Dey has devoted herself to public service. She serves as a board member of the Rape
Treatment Center at UCLA Medical Center, and co-narrated a documentary on
campus rape with her LA Law co-star, Corbin Bernsen.
