Going to Las Vegas Part 2

-


And some fans have just arrived and they are sending first pics. Those are Wendy Copeland's. Wow it will be an amazing, unforgettable event.

I know there are fans who are not impressed..what for and why Las Vegas. What for..because we want David Cassidy to be remembered, we want people start smiling seeing his star and talking about him and start listening to his music. We want to know that we've done something to show our gratitude for all those years. Of course this event will be local, it will not change anything ..on global scale. If David is remembered then only as an icon of the 70s, and I mean in our generation. The younger ones don't know him at all..But we want to do everything what is possible.

Why Las Vegas? Fans have been working very hard, there are David's benches and plqaues, in the USA and in the UK, commemorating his theatre performances, his concerts or love for horses. He was not only and simply a singer or an actor or a songwriter, a performer, producer.etc. He was a star, multi-talented artist. And it was in Las Vegas that he could show it all. Also how an amzing showman he was..

Cassidy, 46(..) slightly built but full of rock'n'roll bravado, he was handed a script that opened up the production, enhanced the dialogue, added 3 new songs and took full advantage of his still boyish charm(..). 

Where the former Partridge sibling truly does shine, is his ability to connect with the audience..'(Gary Dretzka, Chicago Tribune, Dec31, 1996)

'Having seen Cassidy here in EFX, as producer and performer in 'The Rat Pack is Back' and now starring in his own tailor-made vehicle, we are not sure we've ever seen the real David Cassidy. Is his on stage persona just a collection of well chosen derivatives..?' (Kate Maddox, Feb6, 2002, www.lasvegassun)

And one more thing..we have talked about going to Las Vegas..sadly you can't have everything, but we have written a letter to..David.

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.   I was truly sorry and 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, The Monkees. But we for ever 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, she said about David, "He is just marvellous and really knows how to handle his success.(..) We hit it o...

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,...

Two Weddings In Las Vegas

First 'Four Weddings and a Funeral'. The film premiered in the UK 30 years ago, on May 13, 1994.  A low budget film, made in 6 weeks, became unexpected success, all over the world, earned just mountains of money, and made of  Hugh Grant international star. It's also a film with a very strong David Cassidy's connection.  The script was written by Richard Curtis (born in 1956), whose partner (they married after many years in 2023), a popular broadcaster Emma Freud, was (and still is) a DC fan. She gave some interviews about her love for DC and meeting him in person. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ogl0mA_15ys 163 000 views, this one scene. Someone wrote 6 years ago, 'RIP David Cassidy. We know we loved you'. We still do. Two weddings in Las Vegas. Beau Cassidy and his fiance, Stephanie, just got married there. Something different was planned, in Europe, in September. And according to Sue Shifrin, Las Vegas was the last minute decision and that's the reason Dav...
