Katie Cassidy

Meet Katie Cassidy: David's daughter makes an appearance on 'Celebrity Apprentice'

Who knew David Cassidy had a daughter? Well, we did.

24-year-old Katie Cassidy is David's daughter with model Sherry Williams, who he dated on and off in the '70s and '80s. Katie was raised by her mother and her step-father, ER doctor Richard Benedon, but as "Celebrity Apprentice" viewers saw tonight, she remains close to her famous father. Though he struggled to raise money for his team, Katie donated a grand to the cause.

Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to save David -- Katie's pop was the first one fired on this season.

Katie first significant acting gig was a recurring guest spot on "7th Heaven" in 2005. She had small roles in a few movies after that, but her true breakout was as the demon Ruby on the third season of The CW's "Supernatural."

Katie opted not to return for Season 4, instead taking a lead role in CBS's "Harper's Island," a 13-episode horror mini-series. She then went on to play Ella Simms on The CW's ill-fated "Melrose Place." Her character, a reboot of Heather Locklear's Amanda Woodward, was arguably the best thing about the show.

When "Melrose Place" was canceled, The CW did not want to let Katie go. She made a splash on this season of "Gossip Girl" as Juliet, who came precariously close to ruining Serena's (Blake Lively) life.

She was recently cast opposite James Wolk in "Georgetown," an upcoming DC-based pilot.

Susan Dey - Partridge Family on Today Show

NBC's The Today Show features another "big family" in its "Great the TV Families reunited" series. This morning, its the The Partridge Family, with the cast of the popular television families reuniting after several decades. But where's Susan Dey?

Susan Dey (not Susan Day), isn't joining the rest of her former castmates as the Partridge Family reunites.

Susan Dey has had, at least in public, a personal life free of the problems that so often plague child stars.

Dey was a big television star (and the object of adolescent lust) during her run as Laurie Partridge and then went on to even bigger stardom in her role as Judge Grace Van Owen on the 1980's hit drama LA Law. While Dey was a popular figure among the boys (and girls) while on The Partridge Family, her role on LA Law made her a darling of the critics.

After her run on LA Law ended in the early 1990's, however, Dey has maintained a relatively low profile. Dey's most recent television role, in fact, came in 2004 when she appeared on two episodes of Third Watch.

For a star who bridged two eras, and did it brilliantly, and for one who seemed to live a scandal free personal life, Susan Dey was an actress that seemed poised to continue acting forever. Beautiful, talented, and even blessed with a show business name, Dey had 'sure thing' written all over her. The fact that she has had no major roles since the demise of LA Law is one of the great mysteries of modern entertainment.

It could be that Susan Dey decided to duck out of the limelight to enjoy life with her husband. It could be that she just got tired of the business. It could be that the offers did not come the way most assumed that they would.
