'Hopefully I Will Be 70 and 80..'

-

I've wanted to write about DC's February tv appearances, those from 1970 ( Bonanza and Adam-12), and his last one ever, on CSI. That episode was aired on February 27, 2013. DC's character was murdered in a lift (in an awful way). I saw that fragment some years ago, but today I've been searching but haven't found.

Instead I've started watching that amazing interview, called 'Unscripted with David Cassidy'. I saw it some time ago, but today it has moved me..a lot. That interview is from 2008 (DC said in one place that his daughter Katie is 22), so  let's start with a song from that year, or rather a fragment from the Glasgow 2008 concert, when DC was trying to sing 'Could It Be Forever..'

Amazing..They were sooo happy together, David Cassidy and his fans..As it was still 1973.

David's TV guest appearances, there is a list of more than 600 on The DC Official Website, and all the time something new appears on YT. And there were also online interviews. And radio's. It was a very important part of his work, another acting task, very often with own scripts and rehearsals. He was interviewed by the most famous TV or radio personalities in each decade of his career. But 'Unscripted with David Cassidy', is not a traditional interview, it's a  monologue, or better say while watching it I've had a feeling like DC was talking ..to me..

Was it the real David? He was a little bit different than on the other interviews. Much more serious and I think more sincere. Did he say something new ? After all we know the story of his life by heart. When he talked about his childhood..how lonely he was. He didn't use that word 'lonely'..but when he said that his elderly grandmother had been a kind of his surrogate mother. Evelyn was away very often, working. No mum or dad on a daily basis..

He was talking about politics, and the differences between the 60s and the 70s, and that he still was hippie at heart. Yes, not only still a hippie but a boy either. Or a teen.. That after 50 he more appreciated his life and his fame ..That work was the most important and that he loved entertaining people. He smiled when he said that people were always talking about his age...When he was 20 that he'd been too young, and later that he'd looked old. But he still enjoyed performing and knew he was good at what he was doing. And in one moment he said - 'Hopefully I will be 70 and 80..'

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...
