Ein Schloß am Worthersee

-

A Castle at Lake Worther, a German-Austrian tv series. There were 3 seasons, from 1990 to 1993. In the episode aired on January 27, 1993, David Cassidy played a rock star, Patrick Riley, whose career was on the rocks because of..alcohol, gambling and beautiful ladies, and Sue played  Patrick's wife, Linda. That episode was filmed in July 1992, in Velden, Austria, and DC and Sue took their young son to Europe with them.

Someone wrote in a review that the series was quite good, like  'Love Boat', but better executed. Some former known American stars appeared on it. Telly Savalas, Larry Hagman, Linda Grey and David Cassidy.

It's difficult to write anything about his performance. DC told many times that he was interested only in quality and 'no garbage for money'..  but of course he had a young family to support (and his daughter Katie), and I've seen only fragments of his episode on YT, recorded from the TV, and in German. In the video we can see David and Sue..The fan who posted it, translated the conversation so we can read it in comments.

David  performed on the set his own song (the same was when he played another rock star, Joey Mitchell on Alfred Hitchcock Presents)

David Cassidy in Germany. This is a very interesting topic. He was very popular there in the 70s,  readers of 'Bravo' even voted him the best singer 3 times. Tina Funk and Urda Voss were running very important DC's fan clubs , in the early 80s they went to the USA  and Canada to watch DC performing in the theatre and show him their support and love. This is an amazing short video about DC  and his fans from Europe.

But on the other hand in March 1973 two David's concerts in Germany were cancelled of poor tickets sales. In 1985 he took part in 2 or 3 German's tv programmes promoting the 'Romance' album. And interview in 1992. That's all.

Robyn Millan

  I learnt yesterday that Robyn Millan died last year. Someone published a post about the TPF's episode where she'd appeared as a guest star, 'Dora, Dora, Dora', Season 2 episode 1, aired 50 years ago, on September 17, 1971..And there was a comment about that episode that the script was poorly written, sexist etc. Maybe, no one would dare write something like that now, but the world looked different half a century ago..And I really felt sad yesterday because of Robyn. She started her short career in 1965, 33 credits, mostly tv roles - Mission:Impossible, The F.B.I, Hawaii 5.0, Ryan's Hope..But we would remember her as Dora, the girl Keith fell in love with, and Robyn, the girl David dated for a while.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmZnk9RFKm0&t=1s  In December 1971 on Photoplay Magazine an interview with Robyn was published :' He is just marvellous and really knows how to handle his success.(..) We hit it off from that first day six months ago.(..) I resp...

Love Is All That I Ever Needed. A David Cassidy Biography. Chapter 1

  Chapter 1 The Divorce David Bruce Cassidy was born on April 12, 1950 in New York City. He was born into show business, it was running in his blood. His parents were young and glamorous working actors. Jack Cassidy was 23 years old, Evelyn Ward 3 years older, both very busy with their career, frequently touring and absent. David spent his early years with his maternal grandparents in West Orange, New Jersey, just 20 miles from New York. He felt he was different from other kids, didn’t exactly fit in, his school friends’ parents didn’t look like his, they had ordinary jobs, like his grandfather, Frederic Ward, who all his life worked as a utility meter reader. David was a small child, slightly built, and had to wear glasses. During his life he underwent 5 eye operations. It wasn't easy to be the youngest, and not to have a brother or a sister. Someone to fight with, but also to play with, and to share love, good and bad experiences. He was a lonely child, brought up by honest,...

'He Was So Pretty You Couldn't Look Away..'

'and sexy in a way that is timeless.' It's from Kevin Fallon's article published on www.thedailybeast.com on November  22, 2017.  Maybe it's not the smartest thing to do, but the newest article about David Cassidy on Record Collector Magazine, and first of all different pointsview of it, made me have a look on some articles published after this horrible day,  November 21, 2017. But first a song. We experience another heat wave here in Poland, I haven't seen a rain in many days, which is scary, so maybe a song about a rainy day. We miss David on any day, and this is one of his best songs. And amazing, very moving tribute video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJ6qjfK72L8 We have 42 web articles from November and December 2017, on the website, and I can't see Kevin Fallon's on the list, even that I'm sure I sent it Jane last year, because this is not the first time I'm writing about this article. I'm a former librarian, I believe everything sho...
