The Pics

-

David Cassidy's. Some specific and all of them. But first a song. I can't rid of it today, of course there are some great DC's pics in it, mostly from the teen mags and TPF's albums covers

There are hundreds of thousands of David Cassidy's photographs. Photographers were always on the set of Partridge Family, shooting the stars of the show for magazines. Of course mostly David, fans bought those mags and cut his pics for..I don't know, maybe millions of scrapbooks. I wonder how many of them still exists.

The 70s was the golden age of teen magazines. And David was the biggest star of them in the first part of the decade, Millions of girls bought those mags. They waited impatiently for a new issue, for new info, but first of all for new David's pics, for new posters with the most beautiful boy ever..

And everywhere he went ..David Cassidy : 'I couldn't go anywhere without signing autographs and having photographs taken. It was overwhelming. (..) I've signed my name thousands and thousands of times over the last 35 years. (..) And I won't just sign my name. I like to personalise every autograph. For one thing, I like to connect with the person, and I don't want to see one more thing of mine on eBay..' (David Cassidy : Could It Be Forever?, 2007)

In that video we can see DC signing his book..

We love his pics. We publish and share them on social media. We don't think about copyrights..the temptation is too strong. A new pic is something rather rare, but it happens from time to time and always makes us so happy. We are still like those teens many years ago..

The things we do with those pics. with new technology, photo editors. I can't say I'm a fan of those tribute pics, but of course I understand. This is love. 

But there is one thing I don't like. When someone cuts an old pic leaving only David, and deprives a photo of all context. Sometimes I have luck and someone posts the whole pic, also with the source, date and the info about the place the pic was taken, or even the names of the people with David ..such pics are priceless.

And a few days ago my FB friend Andrea posted those pics, they are probably from 'Superstar' mag, according to my friend Doreen, who is the walking DC encyclopedia. Of course I've seen those pics many times before, but only David was on them..For me, now they are much more interesting.

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...
