Dante Daniel "Danny" Bonaduce (born August 13, 1959) is an American radio/television personality, comedian, professional wrestler, and former child actor. Born in Broomall, Pennsylvania, Bonaduce is the son of veteran TV writer/producer Joseph Bonaduce (The Dick Van Dyke Show, One Day at a Time, etc.).
The younger Bonaduce became famous as a child actor of the 1970s on the TV sitcom The Partridge Family. He co-starred as Danny Partridge, the wisecracking, redheaded middle son of the singing pop band (headed by Shirley Jones). He and Shirley Jones were the only Partridge cast members whose actual first names were also that of the character each portrayed on screen. Danny was the fictional pop group's bass guitar player. Co-starring on the show was Jones's former stepson, David Cassidy; Cassidy and Bonaduce remained close friends until Cassidy's death. On January 20, 2018, Bonaduce attended David Cassidy's memorial service in Los Angeles.[1]
Since then, Bonaduce has starred in several other TV series, including the VH1 reality show Breaking Bonaduce in 2005, radio shows in Los Angeles, Philadelphia and has been performing a morning talk/music show at Seattle radio station KZOK-FM since November 14, 2011.

Personal Quotes (5)
1. Most child actors were lucky enough to get the part in the first place. They cry and complain that now they are no longer little and cute Hollywood has no use for them. What we often fail to appreciate is that being little and cute may have been their only skill. Now that we are not so little anymore, and certainly not cute, some of us may have to face reality, stop whining, and get real jobs.
2. When I was living on the street I would be standing out in front of Grauman's Chinese Theater, leaning against my car and signing autographs and nobody had any idea that I was living in it. No one had any idea that I was going to pull my car around the corner and go to sleep.
3. Being a child star is great. It's being a former child star that sucks.
4. There's nothing like turning on the radio and listening to the high-speed chase that you're leading police on!
5. Gretchen [wife Gretchen Bonaduce] was my light at the end of a long tunnel of pain and struggle. She made sure I got my act together and life has been so much better since she has been in it."

SSgt Boyd Herrst
I’d watched partridge family at various intervals.. not exactly on my list of tv programs.. usually watched with little brother... i’d rather read a good Zane Grey ; Riders of the purple sage as an example.. “put the book down and watch the tv with your brother.!”..
“Not exactly.. book’s more interesting !”.. I could be watching it on tv .. ohhh no, got to watch re-run of the bird family..... their home looks like a wren’s nest.. stuff everywhere !.” “Ok, go to your room !” “Oh thank you, I’ve been pardoned !.. I had a chance to get a good buy on a new color tv with a remote.. instead I bought a box of
Simulated leather bound Zane Grey books, the whole set minus one.. all in good to great condition.. I got some conditioner and rubbed it into the book covers.. they resumed their almost excellent condition in a month’s time.. my little brother inherited my room.. he had the gall to sell my books for about $40.. I informed him he owed me another $50 why $50. “ illegal misappropriation fee” “No i’ll keep as a handling fee..” I could see I was getting nowhere... hmmm..
I had intended on taking my books out West with me to Travis.. it was also bad enough he ripped my fighter plane pics that my uncle got for me from various Companies(Northrop-Grumman).. Lockheed.. Boeing.. he put his baseball player pics in them.. ..
he thought I had intentions of taking his $100 ball glove and Al Kaline ball from the’67 World Series.. that would be a great hostage item.. nah... kid would go apes***t if I done that.. I can’t haul all. My stuff.. I already had quite a bit.. without overloading the axles..
It was early August. Mom was driving out with me to visit her Sis..
We lit out and headed West.. listening to Nixon doing his resignation on the radio..
Mom asked if I had David’s ball and glove.. nah.. not worth the trouble... He’ll find it in a month or so.. maybe.. we talked on the way .. I avoided him as a subject when conversing.. mom tried slipping him in to the conversations.. it happened a couple times.. Lil bro waited patiently.. I was surprised at that .. I had again transferred my money to my PenFed credit union.. I left enough in my Reserve for the folks to access.. in the front I had $5 in savings .. $5 in check’g.. I went o photo booth for $3 and got a strip of pictures.. I gave one pic to the local credit union to put in my file.. my brother
Thought he could use my other brother (we both looked somewhat alike that’s why I gave the credit union my pic so they could look and see the diff. They get new girls in a lot.. turns out he was only checking that’s when he found I only had. $5 in checking and $5 in savings. He blew it when he told the folks I only had $5 inveach of my accounts.. Dad had a word with him why was he finding out.. I got a letter from the credit union.. He never asked the Reserve amount from what the clerk said in her statement.. I wrote back on the back of their letter that he has a health prob.. they could ask the parents about that... and thanked them for informing me and signed off.. They included a business envelope with a mail permit number... so I sent it back in that.
Brother revealed that he wasn’t
ask’g for himself.. but for the ball glove brother... I had wrote it down.. in case I might forget .. it could happen.. got a deploy and went to Alaska.. an Aunt of mine
Lived in Anchorage.. I called from her place. Said my pleasantries and told where the ball and glove were..
and said goodbye.. lot of time diff between anchorage and Mi.. 4 hours.. I think.. earlier.. they got their call at about 6 in the morn’g..
