Danny Bonaduce became a household name when he played the cheeky Danny on The Partridge Family. But fame came at a price. Danny opens up about the abuse at the hands of his father, how his TV family stepped in to guide him, and how the ghost of David Cassidy regularly visits his home. Plus he dishes on his school friend Michael Jackson, reveal how ole’ blue eyes asked for his autograph, and he shares his thoughts on the late Anne Heche.

It's wonderful to see Danny doing well. I watched the Partridge Family as a very young "tweene". Of course I was enamored with David Cassidy as most young girls were. Danny was the irritating smart mouth brother in the series but was known for being a smart kid in the family as well always skeeming with the band manager. They made a great pair on the show.There were alot of personal family struggles for some of the cast members and David as much as he was sought after wanted his dad's approval so badly but never could get the love and affection he so craved. It's not an easy life being in show business and Danny seems to be on a good road now with his wife and to his credit is sought after for all the right reasons ! Great job Danny! Enjoy ! .....🎸🎶...🎤🎧🗣️.......👍

When I lived in Phoenix Mr. Bonaduce worked at a radio station. One drunken night he picked up a hooker and she performed oral sex on him. Not being fulfilled he proceeded to rip her clothes off for intercourse that's when he saw it was a man. He then beat the he'll out of the male prostitute who called the the police. The found Mr. Bonaduce hiding naked in his closet at home. He was fired from the radio station I'm forget about the charges it's been close to 30 years. That's how Hollyweird rolls.

Danny Bonaduce, with all his bad behaviors, is someone that you love to hate, but with all of his honesty, you just can't!!!!! As many people who are commenting here,I am a HUGE Partridge Family fan!!!! Grew up watching it and now have the whole show on DVDs. I have listened to many of his interviews and he is always ready to give credit where credit is due and it's usually not to himself!!! He always credits Dave Madden and David Cassidy and Shirley Jones with all the good big breaks in his life. You gotta respect that!!! He HAS to have some good sense to be willing to let that work out for him!!! And his wife keeping him on the straight and narrow!!!! Good going!!!! Danny, you must have something that they see in you that is worthwhile!!!!! Good for you for not blowing them off!!!!! God Bless!!!!!

The Partridge Family, was a well written, witty as hell, clever little show. Totally underrated, for the comedy gem, it actually was. The dynamic between Reuben Kincaid, Danny, and Keith, was one of the weirdest, most creative, ongoing subplots of any sitcom, in history. And Lori, as the Greek chorus, was priceless. These were some seriously creative writers.

What a delightful man he grew up to be. It's heartwarming to learn how close he became with David Cassidy in later years after they were both adults, and how David helped him get his life back on track. I wish someone had been able to do that for David. This was such a great interview. Thank you. I think I needed to see a redemption story today and didn't even realize it.

My Uncles knew Suzanne Crough's brother, who was big-time into motorcycles. Especially dirt bikes. He went to Savannah High School in Anaheim CA. I was saddened to hear of her passing. I also remember a few years ago, passing by The Grove, also in Anaheim, with David Cassidy's name on the marque. I was so excited. But that show never happened.
