I was such a tomboy- I always wanted to be Luke Skywalker, or James West, or even James Bond. Girls roles were so boring. I suppose Susan Dey as Laurie Partridge would have been cool, because we all know she was the real leader of the band.

First, I wanted to be Alvin, from the Chipmunks.
Then, Fleegle from the Banana Splits.
But my epiphany came in the form of Keith Partridge.

And then, of course...Oscar Madison.
