Many people carol during the holidays about receiving a partridge in a pear tree from their true love. Bryan Cranston has taken it a step further — he puts an actual Partridge in his pear tree.
The Emmy- and Tony Award-winning actor delights at the confused looks he receives from visitors who wonder why a framed, autographed picture of David Cassidy is nestled in his backyard pear tree. It usually takes a few beats before they make the connection: The late singer starred in TV’s vintage musical comedy “The Partridge Family.”
For Cranston, it’s personal. Cassidy was a guest star many years ago on Fox’s quirky sitcom “Malcolm in the Middle,” which featured Cranston as the hapless father, Hal. “In the story, his character was a total jerk,” says Cranston, who directed the episode. “But David was a sweetheart. The picture … was signed by David for me, and every year I bring it out, smile, and place him in our pear tree. An homage to him and a puzzlement to visitors during Christmastime.”
