Susan Dey Wiki: Parents, Early Life, and Education

Susan Dey is the daughter of nurse Ruth Pyle, and Robert Smith-Dey, who was the editor of New Rochelle, New York State newspaper “Standard-Star”. When she was only eight years old her mother died, so she was raised by her father. She went to Columbus Elementary School in Thornwood, New York, then moved to Bedford, New York with her father, and attended Fox Lane High School, where she was an active member of the school’s drama club, participating in several school plays, which generated an interest in acting.

Career Beginnings

Before her acting career began, Susan became a model, somewhat surreptitiously encouraged by her grandmother who had sent her picture to a model agency, which immediately signed her to a professional contract. However, in 1970 she auditioned for the part of Laurie Partridge in the TV series “The Partridge Family” (1970-1974), and was cast in the role, which marked the beginning of her acting career.

Rise to Prominence

During her time in “The Partridge Family”, Susan became an extremely popular TV personality, and used the momentum to concurrently secure other successful roles. She made her debut appearance on the big screen in the John Guillermin`s film “Skyjacked” (1972), and then appeared in the film “Terror on the Beach” (1973), with Dennis Weaver and Estelle Parsons in lead roles.

It was in 1986 that she reached prominence once again with the part of D.D.A. Grace Van Owen in the TV crime-drama series “L.A. Law” (1986-1992), the role that won her a Golden Globe Award in the category of Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Drama, and three Primetime Emmy Award nominations. She reprised the role of Grace Van Owen in the television film “L.A. Law: The Movie”, released in 2002.
