Her parents are Joseph Wilfred Crough and Anne O'Malley Crough. She is of Scottish and Canadian descent. Her two brothers are also actors. Suzanne began her acting career at the age of 5 1/2. Her oldest brother was in "The Andy Griffith Show" as one of Opie's friends. That is kind of what convinced her mother into letting Suzanne try acting, too. The producer would lock her in the fake jail cell to take a nap. He told Suzanne's mother to get her in acting. He thought Suzanne was funny, and she was not shy. Suzanne wanted to try acting. Her mother thought she was too young at first. Her brothers were eight years older than she was. Her mom finally gave in to the pressure from Suzanne consistently asking. Suzanne's early roles include commercials for Kraft and a Mattel Barbie commercial (which was the first thing she ever auditioned for). She landed the role of Tracy Partridge on The Partridge Family after three callbacks and four interviews total. While on The Partridge Family, Suzanne did about 30 commercials during that time. She also auditioned for the western movie "Shoot Out" with Gregory Peck and got the role, but sadly "The Partridge Family" producers wouldn't let her do it, so the role went to Dawn Lyn.While on set, Suzanne attended school with Danny Bonaduce and Brian Forster. While filming The Partridge Family, she was able to work a total of eight hours, with three of them in school. When she wasn't needed during the season, Suzanne went to school on the set. When The Partridge Family was on break, she went to public school. She recalls trying to be normal but couldn't. The kids would follow her all over the playground. Some were nice, and some were mean. She took her friends to the set a couple of times, but they weren't used as extras in the show. Her friends from school thought it was cool she was on TV. They wanted to go with her to the set and they couldn't understand why she wasn't in love with David. She said he was more like a brother than anything else.Suzanne also had a friendship with Brian Forster while filming. She remembered the day Jeremy Gelbwacks left the show and was replaced by Brian Forster. She showed up for work and was told "Suzanne, this is Brian. He is playing Chris." Onset, Suzanne and Brian came up with this idea for a 'junior marriage' as a joke. There was an ice cream truck onset that they would have, and would ride their bikes around together. She also had a passion for horses growing up. Suzanne got her first horse when she was about 9 or 10. She took riding lessons during her days on "The Partridge Family" and showed horses and had them up till the age of 18.After 'The Partridge Family', she made several TV movies and made many guest appearances on television shows like 'Goober and the Ghost Chasers', 'The Partridge Family 2200 A.D.', 'Mulligan's Stew', 'Dawn: Portrait of a Teenage Runaway', 'Fred Flintstone and Friends', 'The New Adventures Of Wonder Woman' and 1980's 'Children of Divorce' which would be her last on-screen role. After her acting career, she graduated from Pierce College and would go on to own and operate a bookstore in southern California. She still owned both tambourines that Tracy played and many of The Partridge Family albums used in the show.Sadly, on April 27, 2015, Suzanne passed away at her home in Laughlin, Nevada. She was survived by her husband William Condray, and two daughters, Samantha and Alexandra. She was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother. Suzanne and her husband were going to celebrate their 30th anniversary in July 2015. Crough's cause of death was arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, a rare form of cardiomyopathy. To many, she is forever known as the adorable, freckled-faced Partridge.
