'I guess he was more like a brother..'

Suzanne Jesse Crough about David Cassidy during her interview published on www.cmongethappy.com. She said : 'They (her friends) couldn't understand why I wasn't in love with David.' 'Why weren't you?'..he was more like a brother.'

She knew what she was talking about. Born on March 6th, 1963 in Fullerton, California, Suzanne was the youngest of 8 children, started her acting career in commercials. While in The Partridge Family she took riding lessons and got her first horse when she was 10. She showed horses till the age of 18. I wonder if David had known about it..

After TPF she appeared on another tv show, this time short-lived,  called Mulligan's Stew.

In 1978 Suzanne did a dock-drama called 'Teenage Father'. I've been searching for it everywhere, it must be somewhere, because its director, Taylor Hackford (Helen Mirren's  husband) is 1. a very known director, 2. he also wrote it, 3. he got an Academy Award for that 25 minutes film for Best Short Subject. While receiving the award he thanked Suzanne for wonderful acting.

She appeared in 1980 on one more tv movie called 'Children Of Divorce' and that was all. She graduated from LA Pierce College and till 1993 owned and operated a book store. But first of all Suzanne was a wonderful wife and mother, and sadly only for a very short time, a grandmother. She married the love of her life William Condrey in 1985. They met through a friend when  in their 20s.

He said that after marriage she was still interested in acting, but she wanted to focus on their family.

Suzanne and William wanted to celebrate their 30th anniversary in July 2015. She was madly in love with her 1 year old granddaughter..

Suzanne Crough died sitting at her dining room table at her home in Laughlin, Nevada on April 27, 2015, at the age of 52...We still miss you Suzanne..Tracy..

David Cassidy : 'I was saddened to hear of the passing of Suzanne. We didn't know each other well as she was young and shy during the Partridge Family years. I have always thought fondly of Suzanne and her family. My thoughts are with them at this time.' (David Cassidy Official Website)

  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...
