Shirley Jones
2006 Emmy Nomination: Supporting Actress in a Movie
Everyone who grew up in the 70's, or who remembers reruns of The Partridge Family, will recognize Shirley Jones, who played Shirley Partridge, the mother, in the family oriented television series.
Jones has also starred in many films, including the highly successful musicals Oklahoma!, Carousel, and The Music Man. In a rare "naughty girl" role, she won an Oscar as a prostitute corrupted by Burt Lancaster, who then takes revenge upon him in Elmer Gantry.
She tried to stage a television comeback in 1979 with
the family drama Shirley, but the series was poorly received and was canceled
after thirteen episodes. Jones received an Emmy nomination for her supporting
performance in the TV film "Hidden Places".
