When Shirley Jones started working as a bit actress in Chicago musicals like South Pacific in the early ’50s, she had no idea the heights she would soon achieve. But after receiving rave reviews on stage, Jones quickly moved on to hit musical films like Carousel and starred opposite Ron Howard in the iconic Music Man. Thanks to dozens of film roles, Jones worked with everyone from Jimmy Stewart to Frank Sinatra during her film career.
However, Jones remains most famous for her role as the Patriridge Family matriarch on the titular ABC sitcom in the 1970s. Since then, Jones has elected to focus on a singing career, no surprise there, which she continues to this day at the age of 86!
