Danny Bonaduce: Fighting His Way Back - Resilience in the Face of It All 

Danny Bonaduce was born on August 13, 1959, in Broomall, Pennsylvania. His first acting job was in 1969's The Trouble With Girls starring Elvis Presley. He gained fame as a child actor on the hit series The Partridge Family in the early 1970s, playing the wise-cracking middle child, Danny Partridge.

Danny later transitioned his career into professional wrestling, reality television, hosting, and enjoyed a 35-year career in radio.

In recent years, Danny publicly shared his diagnosis of normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) and his journey through treatment, including life-changing brain surgery. By speaking openly about his experience, he has helped raise awareness of this often misunderstood condition and inspired others facing similar challenges.

Known for his candid personality and turbulent life story, Bonaduce remains a recognizable figure in pop culture, continuing to engage audiences across generations.

The Hydrocephalus Association is thrilled to welcome Danny Bonaduce as our Inspirational Keynote Speaker at the 19th National Conference on Hydrocephalus in Indianapolis this summer.

Our President and CEO, Diana Gray, sat down with Danny to discuss his journey with NPH. Danny’s story is both powerful and inspiring, shedding light on a condition that affects 800,000 Americans, with 80% remaining undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. Watch now and learn more about Danny’s journey.
