SHIRLEY JONES | 86

Shirley Jones has been in the entertainment business for six decades, and it¡¯s no easy feat. She has a successful career as a singer and an actress, taking the lead role in prolific musical films like Oklahoma, Carousel, and The Music Man. She was named after the child actress Shirley Temple. She was the first cast for a minor role in South Pacific, but it wasn¡¯t long after that she was given a lead role in Romeo and Juliet, which received raving reviews in Chicago. In 1960, Jones received an Academy Award when she played a vengeful prostitute in Elmer Gantry.

She also had a role in the television series The Partridge Family, which also included her real-life stepson, David Cassidy. Shirley will surely retire with good fortune with her hit songs and equally successful movie and television projects. With her good money management skills, she will be secured to know that she can enjoy her hard-earned money.
