The child actress was featured on ABC's The Partridge Family, which ran from September 1970 to March 1974 and revolved around a widowed mother and her five children who formed a band. The series starred Shirley Jones, with her real-life stepson David Cassidy as the resident heartthrob.
Ms. Crough as Tracy played the tambourine as a member of the TV family's band. She was often the warm backdrop that set up the zingers flung out by her on-screen brother Danny, played by Danny Bonaduce.
She also appeared in commercials as a child, but largely stayed out of the limelight as an adult, according to IMDB.com.
The former actress did attend the occasional Partridge Family reunion, including interviews and other celebrations.
