A 5 x 3 card signed in person January 28th 1994 by Shirley Jones, the Oscar-winning American singer and actress.  In her six decades of show business, she has starred in a number of well-known musical films, such as Oklahoma! (1955), Carousel (1956) and The Music Man (1962), and won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for playing a vengeful prostitute opposite Burt Lancaster in Elmer Gantry (1960). In the 1970s she played Shirley Partridge in the TV series The Partridge Family, about a young widowed mother whose five children form a pop rock group: in its first season it became a huge hit and was screened in over 70 countries. Within months, Jones and her co-stars were pop culture television icons. Her real-life twenty-year-old stepson David Cassidy, who was an unknown actor at the time, played Shirley Partridge's eldest son, Keith, and became the hottest teen idol in the country. The show itself also spawned a number of albums and singles by The Partridge Family performed by David Cassidy and Shirley Jones. That same year, "I Think I Love You" reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 music chart, making Jones the second person, after Frank Sinatra, and the first woman, to win an acting Oscar and also have a No. 1 hit on that chart.
