David as a Spooky Kid

-

Someone called that the DC's character on 'Joey's Here', the 'Matt Houston's episode. David Cassidy played a genius and a dreamer. John Gordon Boyd.

But a song first. DC performing 'Gettin' It In The Street'. I thought about that program watching Matt Houston. How he changed from 1976..

Watching 'Joey's Here' turned out to be very useful. First of all, I've noticed that there is a wrong date on the website. December 1983, and  it should be December 1982, the first season of that tv series, and it makes a difference. For me at least, I always thought it was the DC's last role before he appeared again on Alfred Hitchcock on May 1988. But really the last role was on Fantasy Island, January 1983, nearly a year difference. When you write about someone on daily basis verified information and dates are a priority matter. 

Of course the website is huge, errors are inevitable. I'm dyslextic, and English is not my native language, but I find spelling errors, or wrong info from time to time. And if you notice sth please send it to jane@davidcassidy.com. It's very important, If we do not care about it, such mistakes will remain forever..

From The Partridge Family..someone wrote about this song yesterday on our FB group, and it's stuck in my mind

And David Cassidy on Matt Houston ? He did what he could. The Aaron Spelling Productions' tv series, those robots and live video games looked like from the 60s, Lost In Space. David badly needed money and work, he received only such offers in 1982. He did his best. It was wonderful listening to his voice. His character John Gordon Boyd is very boyish and very smart, could be very charming, but there's also a bit of madness and fanatism in him, and we don't know to the end if he's the murderer or not..

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...

  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...
