A Cincinnati Whizzer Yo-yo

-


I'm writing a new synopsis (btw not many left). Season 3, Episode 22, 'The Partridge Connection'. First aired on March 6th, 1973 (David was already in Europe). A very interesting episode.

1. Make-up. As DC wrote himself : 'At 23, my face caked in 3 layers of make-up. I made less convincing teenager than ever'. He looked gorgeous as always, but yes, mountains of foundation, an eyeliner etc.

2. The theme of that episode - stealing and the influence of friends. Of course stealing is very common at that age (and don't tell me it's not true). I know, I remember how it was to be a teen, (and I'm a mother and a former teacher).

David also wrote about it in his autobiography, those bicycles he ..took when he was 13. 'I'd always return them or I couldn't have lived with myself. Stealing wasn't really a part of my life. It was more that if I saw a rule of any sort, I'd think, - Let's see how can I break this? Or bend this?  Being told not to do something was an enticement for me..' I love David's autobiography. So honest, sincere and it needed courage to write just as it was..

3. Danny Bonaduce, he was just great, really very moving, dramatic acting, the script was outstanding, real psychologically, but first of all Danny Bonaduce could show those emotions - guilt, loneliness and gratitude that the family was with him. He was a great child actor, not only comic. Let's watch the fragment with Laurie from an another episode. He is so funny, but also confused, he wants to understand those strange creatures - girls..

And last but not least  - yo-yo..Do you remember crackers, a little bit dangerous, so many games we played in the 70s, mostly outdoors..every day was sunny and every day was an adventure.

And now we have nearly 400 000 kids from Ukraine, several thousands already go to our schools, and I hope they will  play and be happy in my country, but not for long, I believe they will be able to return home soon... Home is where the heart is..

  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...
