David As David Greeley and a 'Technican In Hamburg'

-


'The Night the City Screamed' was first aired on December 14, 1980, 42 years ago. On ABC.

While searching for some info I looked at the DC profile on IMDb. Nice David's pic and those dates 1950-2017. Will I ever get used to it..This is so strange, I mean we know that DC is dead, but..

Anyway, what a surprise, nothing important, but do you know that David has an uncredited role in a film from 1975 called 'Rosebud'. With Peter O'Toole, a film about terrorism, also with young Isabelle Hupert and Kim Cattrall (that was her debut, she was just 19). It seems DC appeared there as a 'Technican in Hamburg'. There is a trailer on IMDb, rather awful, and a review ('the film is horrible'). And one other surprise, the soundtrack consisted of a song, wrote by the DC's friend Harry Nilsson and sang by..Kim.I wonder if anyone knew something about it. 

But let's return to 'The Night The City Screamed'. A lot of familiar names. Mel Swope, The Partridge Family, David Cassidy-Man Undercover and Police Story's producer. he also directed 3 The Partridge Family's episodes. Larry Brody who wrote Police Story and created Man Undercover. And of course Vic Tayback, very known film and tv actor, 3 times on TPF. And Raymond Burr, he met very young David on the set of Ironside. Hollywood village, everybody knew each other..

'The Night The City Screamed'. The DC's role wasn't very important, he wasn't even mention in the promo.

It was rather an ambitious tv movie, recreating what had happened just 3 years previously in New York, when on July 13, 1977 all the power in NY went out. The city stayed dark for 25 hours, there were a lot of looting and vandalism, and more than 1000 cases of arson. We have the film on the website, but I prefer watching it on YT. I just love the comments, so different opinions. I think the film is..of course old, that world doesn't exist anymore, but it's not bad, good acting, and David..not a teen idol anymore, but of course so gorgeous, he always was, young or old, with or without mustache. He did what he could with his role. At the time he needed any work..

  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...
