Welcome to the original page for everything Shirley Jones. I developed and curated the original ShirleyJones.com for more than a decade and it’s good to be home again.
I have had the distinct pleasure to be a friend of Shirley’s for more than twenty years. Over the past two decades, I have met with her friends from Smithton, attended film parties in Hollywood, and enjoyed the solitude of Fawnskin, California, where Shirley once owned a mountain cabin.
This page is built with loving care. As I gather photos from scrapbooks, videos from stage events, and all things Shirley, please come back often for new treats. Some of what you will see is truly rarified and will bring a smile to your face.
A little about me (and more about Shirley). Shirley Jones has always been at the Top of the list in terms of celebrities who posses the combination of talent and kindness.
That’s me, the year that I first saw Meredith Willson’s “The Music Man“on the big screen. I’ve always been fortunate and I have parents that appreciate great talent. They were already big fans of the Rodgers and Hammerstein Musicals when I was born. My first record albums were their copies of “Oklahoma”, “Carousel”, and Frank Sinatra’s“Love is A Kick” (LP). To this day, these vinyl discs remain extra special and in pretty good condition for all the wear and tear of being played continually.
Photo taken of us on the set of “The Real Me”which is an excellent biography about Shirley Jones. I’m so grateful that today I can say I still hold this lady in the highest regard.
Besides designing this site devoted to Shirley, I am a wife and mother. An actress in the 70’s and I majored in Music at college. I have also done extra work.
I have been happily working at the WILDLIFE LEARNING CENTER in southern California for the past few years. It’s a wonderful sanctuary for animals.
I’ve performed in a number of musical plays with The Canyon Theatre Guild of Santa Clarita. We did a bawdy western musical comedy titled “Sagebrush”and got the
cover of the local Entertainment section. That’s me all the way to the left.
