Susan Dey in miscellaneous L.A. Law pics

As some of you may know, Susan Dey played Grace Van Owen for six seasons on the iconic legal drama/comedy TV show L.A. Law. I just thought that would include some random images of L.A. Law-era Susan Dey for everyone to see. Also, take a look at the L.A. Law page included here for more pictures.

Susan Dey in Loves Me, Loves Me Not

In 1977, three years after The Partridge Family ended, Susan Dey returned to the half hour situation comedy format with Loves Me, Loves Me Not. She had spent her post-Partridge time doing nearly a dozen guest appearances on various TV shows and a TV movie (Cage Without a Key). Loves Me, Loves Me Not was a chance for Susan Dey to return to regular series television and in the starring role. The show was created by the team that would produce the more successful Soap later that year and featured Susan Dey acting opposite Kenneth Gilman (who is now known as Kip Gilman). The plot revolved around a California schoolteacher named Jane Benson (Dey) and her romantic ventures with newspaper reporter Dick Phillips (Gilman). Unfortunately, the show only ran for six episodes before being cancelled.

Susan Dey in Love & War

In 1992, after leaving the iconic L.A. Law, Susan Dey's next project was a sitcom entitled Love & War. Of course, she had gotten popular in the first place appearing on a half hour comedy program called The Partridge Family. However, when she attempted the format again in 1977 with Loves Me, Loves Me Not (done by the same team that did the more successful Soap later on that year), the show only ran for six episodes. After that she abandoned the format for feature films, TV movies, and hour long dramas. But following six seasons of L.A. Law, Susan Dey decided to attempt comedy again, partnering with sitcom veteran Jay Thomas. In the end it wasn't meant to be and she left the show after only one season due the ubiquitous 'creative differences' explanation.
