She was the youngest member of _The Partridge Family_, and played tambourine.

She was younger than the brother who changed suddenly half way through the series? Doesn’t matter, she was too young to die. I wonder what happened.

I remember how saddened I was to learn, several years ago, that the actor who played Reuben Kincaid had died.

I never got to tell him how his line “A bachelor is never without his can opener!” changed my life.

Gosh. I was just thinking of her and the rest of the Partridge Family cast (as part of this thread [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=18296495](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=18296495)) . Sad that she died so young.
