From 1970 to 1974 Crough portrayed the  youngest member of the on-screen family. She starred alongside Shirley Jones and David Cassidy in the TV sitcom where widowed mother Shirley Partridge starts a band with her five kids. They travelled from show to show in everyone's favourite multicoloured bus.

Crough's character Tracey was known for playing the tambourine.

Following the Partridge Family, Crough went on to star in other 70's shows as a child star including "Mulligans Stew".

The  red head reunited with her former castmates in 2010 when the Partridge Family reunion aired on Today.
