Danny Bonaduce The Troublemaker

Danny Bonaduce played Danny Partridge who was a little more than a handful. He came from an unhappy home and was a bit of a wild child. Shirley Jones wrote in her memoir he started smoking when he was 11. She also said the entire cast treated him like family and that helped with some of his growing pains.
