'Why Hasn't a Movie..

-

 ..been made about David Cassidy yet? He was the hottest thing in the universe back in the 70s.'. I've got it today on my Google Alerts. It was a question asked on Quora.  

Another thing I've learnt about because of DC (and not the only one today). I've never heard about Quora, don't laugh. It's really amazing, a social question-and-answer website, wow.. I've already thought about some questions I'd love to ask. 300 million users a month !! Can you believe it ??. But at first I've had no idea what is it and just read the question and the answer :

'No story arc to speak of. Pretty white kid gets famous, gets old, stops being famous.'

Maybe a song from that 'pretty white kid'..from New York..

I wish I could post this video that guy, but I would have to sign in first and answer many questions and I didn't feel like it. Now that other thing Ive learnt today. 

The word 'arc', in connection with 'story'. I like the definition from online Urban Dictionary. So in this context 'arc' means  - 'the internal change the hero goes through in a story. It can be positive change of character - a happy ending, or - no change'. So according to the author of that answer there is nothing interesting in the David Cassidy's story.

One more song..'no story arc to speak of.'..

Of course I can write a lot how fascinating was the story of DC's life..how that early fame changed him, how he was used and manipulated, how he was unprepared, how he earned a fortune and lost it, and first of all how this great singer was and is underrated..But..some people know better..

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...
