'His Name Is David'

-

I haven't planned to write anything today, too hot and I've been busy. But I've been searching for sth on the website and found that gem. David Cassidy at 'Random Play', a sketch comedy series from 1999. Two female record company executives, both of them were in love with DC in 1970s, both old Partridge Family's fans. And at one moment one adresses DC- "Keith'. 'His name is David', says the other one..This is really very funny, what a shame we don't have a better copy.

This is amazing how DC was talented. Not only he got a great voice, not only he was so beautiful..Btw do you know that last year was released a documentary called 'The Most Beautiful Boy In The World"? But it was not about DC, but about a young Swede who was in the Luciano Visconti's film 'Death in Venice'. Visconti proclaimed a 16-year old Bjorn Andresen being the most beautiful..The film premiere was in 1971 and poor Bjorn wasn't prepared becoming an international celebrity. His beauty and youthfulness were exploited. He experienced a mass hysteria, especially in Japan. Had a depression after his 9 month old son died. An actor, still active. Very long hair and beard..

It could have been such a curse when everybody is in love with you and you know that there are so much more you can give. 

So 'His name is David Cassidy. (He sings too)'. This is the title of one of the earliest articles about DC, wrote by Laudy Powell, FAVE Magazine, May 1970. The article starts with a letter : "I turned on Marcus Welby, M.D as I always do' the letter read' when of a sudden my heart started thumping wildly cause I was looking into the two most beautiful eyes in the world! They belonged to the boy who played Michael on the show..but who is HE?' The letters kept coming into Fave hundreds of them, all asking the same questions.."

  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...

  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...
