Danny Bonaduce Net Worth

At age 11, Bonaduce met Academy Award-winning actress/singer, Shirley Jones, on the set of The Partridge Family, where she took him under her wing, and would later became a friend. They worked together, on-camera, for 4 seasons. Off-camera, when he had a horrible homelife, it was Shirley Jones, who was the only one who rescued her child star's crisis, by taking him to her house, everyday. According to his TV mother, who also wrote in her autobiography: A Memoir, that Bonaduce was "smart" and "talented," who was also a troublemaker, off-camera. She also said: "But he was still a kid and would do kid things like get a dish of food and throw it across the room or have a pillow fight," She added: "Danny was a wild child who came from an unhappy home. At eleven, he started smoking." Despite her and the rest of the younger cast: "loved and appreciated him, we couldn’t deny that he was snotty at times. Once, when he was getting too big for his boots, we all ganged up on him and convinced Susan to pour a pitcher of milk over his head, just to put him in his place." The incident was discovered on an episode of The Partridge Family, with David Cassidy, on the other end of the prank. Bonaduce said in a 2012 interview with the Seattle Times if he'd gotten along with his TV mother on The Partridge Family: "Shirley Jones could not have been kinder to me. Although one time she did go a little bit crazy. I think everybody kind of forgot I was 10 years old and expected me to act like a grown-up all the time. One day I was being particularly childish and it obviously made her mad. And she yelled, 'Danny!,' and then pointed upstairs and said, 'Go to your room right now.' I had to explain to her: 'This is a set. There is no upstairs. We don’t really live here. You need to calm down.' She had a good laugh, but I think she’s still embarrassed." When The Partridge Family was over, Danny continues to stay in touch with Shirley, and the two (along with his best buddy David Cassidy), had appeared on many shows, including: A&E Biography, TV Land Confidential and The Today Show, and he was one of the presenters of his TV mother's Intimate Portrait on Lifetime Television. Jones also appeared with Bonaduce (without Cassidy) on his short-lived talk show Danny, for the 25th Anniversary of The Partridge Family., in addition to the 30th and 35th anniversaries. The decade after, Jones watched a couple episodes of Bonaduce's short-lived series, Breaking Bonaduce.
