Shirley Jones is a renowned actress and singer with a career spanning over six decades. The actress recently made an appearance at the TCM Classic Film Festival with her son, Shaun Cassidy.

The actress arrived looking fashionable in an all-white suit with sneakers and a pop of red on the lips. She also added a ruffled scarf to finish off the all-white outfit.

Jones posed next to her granddaughter, the youngest of Cassidy's children, who wore one of her grandmother's outfits from the iconic film, "The Music Man."

And while many praised the "Elmer Gantry" star for her impeccable style and ageless look, some had mixed reviews about her hairstyle.

The actress was surrounded by her big family who she loved to see grow through time. Now she gets to be a fantastic grandmother while looking stunning at 89.

Shirley Jones, a Widow, Keeps on Moving On and Looks Well in 89

Jones was married to Martey Ingels, a comedian, actor, and talent manager, for 40 years. Unfortunately, Ingels died at 79 due to complications from a stroke. He took his last breath at their Tarazan home in Los Angeles in 2015.

In a statement announcing Ingels' passing, Jones said her husband drove her crazy at times, but she will still miss him every day of her life.

Jones may be a widow, but she isn't alone. She is surrounded by her big family who never falls short of honoring her. When she recently celebrated her 89th birthday, her son Sean, who followed in her footsteps and became a successful actor, singer, and producer, made sure to mark the occasion with a tribute.

Boasting about his ageless mother on Facebook, the producer shared a picture of Jones as a 21-year-old and one at 89, with the caption, "Ageless! Happy Birthday, Mom!"

Fans were quick to express their shock and awe at how good Jones still looked at 89. Aside from hailing her as a "fabulous cool grandma," others were trying to get used to her unusual hairstyle.

Shirley Wasn't Sporting Her Iconic Silver Pixie

Jones is known for her iconic pixie cut that would usually have slight bangs and volume at the top, but for her recent appearancea the TCM Classic Film Festival, her hair was shorter and brushed back.

While many fans loved her power suit and thought she looked great for her age, the hairstyle was something most could not get past. "Sorry, this style is too severe," said a fan.

Some thought the hairstyle would have been more flattering with bangs, but others thought the new do aged her. "It is Shirley Jones! She is amazing! Just a little older," remarked a commenter.

Despite the divided opinions about her style, many of Jones' fans were just happy to see the actress making a public appearance.

Basking in Her Big Family with 13 Grandkids

Jones has had a long career with many accolades, including an Oscar, and her performances have landed her on Broadway.

From there, she snatched a role on the sitcom, "The Partridge Family," where she played TV's favorite singing mom. The actress appreciated her long career and the opportunity to have tried out every avenue of the entertainment industry.

Jones has no regrets about her life. She's enjoyed it to the fullest and advises everyone to do the same because "before you know it, you'll be 87," she said.

The 89-year-old is primarily proud of raising her three sons, Shaun, Ryan, and Patrick Cassidy, who have all grown to be excellent and successful men. To top it off, they gave her 13 grandchildren.

The actress said she grew up as an only child, so having a big family has been a blessing. She loves getting visits from her grandchildren too. "You have to enjoy this moment—the now—because that's all we have," she expressed.

Before "The Music Man" star married her late husband, Ingels, she was married to actor Jack Cassidy, who unfortunately died too. The actress opened up about her two husbands and what made them each stand out.

When it came to Jack, she loved how handsome and talented he was, but above everything, she loved his humor. Jones even deemed him a better comedian than an actor. However, Ingels won her over with his intelligence, writing skills, and how much of an amazing "grandpa" he was.

Although Jones had two great marriages, she admitted that had Cassidy not died; she did not believe she would have married Ingels. However, there is no denying that her union with Ingels gave her the security she never knew she needed, so she will forever appreciate both her late husbands.

Jones created a big, beautiful family and has loved being its matriarch and watching her sons build their own families and expand her legacy.

Her sons are also protective of their mother, who would sometimes feature on their social media platforms. One of them, Ryan, once proudly shared a picture of him and his brothers standing behind their mother after an Easter church service. "I am a lucky man," he said.
