Dante Daniel Bonaduce (born August 13, 1959 in Broomall, Pennsylvania) is an actor, disc jockey, and game show host. He is the son of veteran TV writer/producer Joseph Bonaduce. He originally gained fame in the television series The Partridge Family. Bonaduce played the wisecracking Danny Partridge, who was a constant bane of the Family's manager, played by Dave Madden.
He married Setsuko Hattori in 1985 and divorced her in 1988. In 1990, he met his second wife, Gretchen on a blind date. They married that same day (Bonaduce claims he only married her so he could sleep with her). They have two children together, Countess Isabella Michaela Bonaduce (born 23-Nov-1994) and Count Dante Jean Michel Bonaduce (born 14-Feb-2001)
As an adult, he has had a successful career as a radio announcer and co-host of The Other Half with Mario Lopez, Dick Clark, and Dorian Gregory in season 2, a daytime talk show positioned as a complementary show to The View. He was very successful at WLUP in Chicago. Later, Danny hosted weekday mornings in Detroit at WKQI then flying to Chicago for afternoons at WLUP. Then in Los Angeles co-hosting the morning drive-time show on Star 98.7 FM (KYSR) with Jamie White. He is a frequent guest on the Loveline radio program.
In 2001 he released his autobiography, Random Acts of Badness.
Bonaduce filed a lawsuit against Jamie White on September 28, 2005 for allegedly slandering him on air while he was in a rehab center called Milestones Ranch. He claims she lied about him showing up to work under the influence of drugs. Bonaduce claims he was never under the influence of drugs while at work. The outcome is still pending.
Starred in Breaking Bonaduce, a 2005 reality television show on VH1, and has appeared on Howard Stern's Howard 100. Since August 2006, he has been hosting a new tabloid-themed game show named Starface, which airs on GSN.
