Susan Dey – Now

In several movies, such as Skyjacked, Disappearance, and Little Women, and television series, Dey continued to appear, including the massively popular L.A. Law. The actress is refusing to attend The Partridge Family’s reunion shows. She and co-star David Cassidy briefly dated after the end of the show, but things didn’t work out, and to this day, the two don’t talk to each other.

Karen Carpenter – Then

As an American singer and drummer, Karen Anne Carpenter became a household name. Her instrument skills were quite outstanding, and she even earned the admiration of various luminaries of drumming. What really made her a star, though, was her counter-vocal range. She performed as a duo with her brother, Richard, and their 1970 album, “Close to You,” became a huge hit. It featured two hit singles that peaked at #2 and #1 on the Hot 100, “We’ve Just Begun” and “(They Long To Be) Close to You.”
