'A Solid Movie For David'

-

It's Christmas and I'm writing a new entry. Crazy. Not exactly, because in Poland the most important is Christmas Eve, and yesterday my house was full of laughter, young and old members of my family so happy to spend that time together. I'm so blessed, I know.

But I've also returned with a cold from my holiday. When I was in Antalya to see The Aquarium (btw it was awful, a big prison especially for those poor sharks), anyway, that day was sunny but it was also a very cold wind. 

So today I'm left alone in my room and I'm watching tv and writing about David. We still miss him. We, his fans. We'd have loved to know he was happy and healthy, spending Christmas with his family...

Wish you were here.

I'm doing something for the website and reading old newspapers' articles. There are some great ones from 1971,  thoughtful and written with a sympathy for a young teen idol. Btw it's so important  to have all articles, (and all kinds of them), on the website. To have the full picture so to speak. For all the fans to have the opportunity to read them, also for those who are not on social media. 

Don Lechman talked with DC during a break on the set of The Partridge Family. It was the episode filmed in Marineland (of the Pacific, in California). His article was published on several newspapers in December 1971. He wrote :'What is David Cassidy really like? Very warm and friendly, he is 21, but looks 16 and talks more like 30.'

The author was sure that David would succeed, not only as a teen idol, not only because of his looks : 'He has shown extraordinary ability as an actor and who knows where his singing may lead to.'

Even in the article about the business of being a teen idol, about teenage market and new fortunes made because of David, I think the author also believed that the transition was possible. 'They (the DC's agents) already are casting about for a solid movie that will challenge Cassidy's acting ability and elevate him from the teenybopper level..'

  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...
