Susan Dey – 68

Fans had loved Susan Dey when she played the roles of Laurie Partridge on The Partridge Family and Grace Van Owen on L.A. Law. With the number of TV and movie credits she has, the now-68-year-old star has received a number of accolades. She was nominated for three-time Emmy Awards and six Golden Globe Awards. In 1988, she won the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Drama Series.

Dey went on to do several TV and movie projects, though Shirley Jones wrote in her memoir that she was the only cast member who repeatedly refused to be part of the Patridge Family reunion for some unknown reasons. Sadly, she retired from the business and was last seen in the 2003 movie Rain and the TV series Third Watch in 2004. Dey has been married to the TV producer Bernard Sofronski since 1988.
