Shirley Jones, the loving, musical mom from the 70's hit TV show, the "Partridge Family" just turned 75, but
she isn't slowing down. As a matter of fact, she's gearing up for a nude scene in an upcoming episode of A&E's "The Cleaner".
Playing a washed-up, alcoholic chanteuse, Jones, who won a 1960 Oscar playing a prostitute in "Elmer Gantry," opens up her blouse in a climactic scene.
Uh, let's hope it's brief. I can't wait to read the reviews the next day. Stay tuned because I'll be sure to post them. The singing mom is planning a concert tour with "Brady Bunch" mom, Florence Henderson later this year. This Abuelita (grandmother) of 10, like fine wine, seems to just be gettin' better with time. My hats' off to you, Mrs. Jones!
