Susan Dey gets interviewed

Over the course of her three decade career in show business, Susan Dey was interviewed many times. Some interviews have probably been long forgotten, though others still exist and can be seen today. Susan Dey interviews with obnoxious chat-show hosts David Letterman and Rosie O'Donnell (Dey was on Rosie's show twice) are two of the most popular examples.

In December of 1977, Susan Dey was interviewed by both Mike Douglas and Merv Griffin (presumably related to her breakthrough role in the movie First Love that year). In 1989, Dey appeared on CBS This Morning and in 1993 she did Good Morning America. 1991 saw the actress as a guest on The Arsenio Hall Show. Many more televised interviews likely exist and hopefully one day fans will have greater access to them!

Susan Dey in various Echo Park promo pics

In 1986, Susan Dey starred in the fantastic film Echo Park where she played a single mother who tries her hand at stripping to make some extra money. The movie helped to jump-start Susan Dey's career in the mid-'80s and features a great performance from the gorgeous actress. 

Here are some assorted promotional images of Susan Dey for the movie (watch out for the last one...it may be inappropriate for younger viewers!):

As many of you are doubtless aware, Susan Dey and William Katt were co-stars in the 1977 film First Love. Here are more two promotional pictures of the pair:

Susan Dey gets colorized

Here are some images of Susan Dey which have been colorized. Lots of these types of pictures of her used to appear in teen/fan magazines in the early 1970s.

This wasn't assembled by a professional but it is certainly a pleasure to see a collage of Susan Dey's youthful face!

Rare Susan Dey Looker promo pic

In 1981, Susan Dey made one of her best big screen appearances in the techno-paranoia thriller Looker. Here is a seldom seen (and somewhat odd) image used to promote the movie:

Revisiting Susan Dey on The Streets of San Francisco

A long time ago, we looked at Susan Dey's 1976 guest appearance on The Streets of San Francisco. Well, it's time to examine this piece of television history again!

Susan Dey was one of a huge group of actors and actresses who appeared on "The Thrill Killers," the two part 5th season of The Streets of San Francisco. However, Susan Dey's physical beauty and the fact that the formerly squeaky clean actress was playing a militant extremist, set her apart from the rest of the guest cast. This is also one of the few times in Susan Dey's career where she got to handle a gun!

Here are some updated images of Susan Dey on The Streets of San Francisco:

Susan Dey posed nude before First Love?

In 1977, Susan Dey famously went against her wholesome image and appeared topless in the movie First Love. But had she appeared naked prior to that groundbreaking cinematic experience? The short answer is no, but this circa 1971 article examines an incident that happened years before during Susan Dey's pre-Partridge modeling career.

Move over David Cassidy...you aren't the only member of the Partridge Family to show your, uh, feathers!

Susan Dey -- known to millions of her young fans as virginal, squeaky-clean Laurie Partridge -- has gone and shown a new "side" of herself.

What exactly is Susan's new "side"? Well, if you must see for yourself, just pick up a copy of the Japanese (!) magazine which features a rather revealing shot of Susan.

Susan is wearing (1) a wide-open smile and (2) a half-wide-open sweater which leaves only half to the imagination. How and why did Susan pose for this shot?

Susan says it all happened when she was 16-years-old (four years ago) when she first began her modeling career. And that she was so horrified by the experience that she fled in disgust -- not even bothering to pick up the pix! And that she's even more horrified now that the pic in question has surfaced. That's what she says.

Well, if nothing else, Susan's semi-"nude" posing at least gives a real eye-full to those Hollywood insiders who insisted David Cassidy's au naturel spread in Rolling Stone would show the first--and last--of the Partridge Family "behaving so blatantly against their public image."

Frankly, we aren't surprised. After David and Susan, though, we wonder -- who's next?

Shirley Jones?

Or...shudder, shudder...Danny Bonaduce???
