Susan Dey..on the LA Law Reunion

-

 

I've thought I would not write about Susan Dey's birthday. She will be 70 on December 10. 

We know everything, but on the other hand nothing about her, she is a very private person. But of course we love writing about Susan and David. They were so beautiful and there was such chemistry between them on the set of TPF. The way they looked at each other. After all these years they became a truly iconic, romantic couple from the 70s, there are still quite a lot of articles about..you know. But of course this is not our business. Only Susan and David knew how it really was.

Her mother died when Susan was eight, she started her career as a model in the late 60s, and she became a role model for many teenage girls. She looked so gorgeous, and e.g. wasn't afraid to take part in one of the first campaign encouraging girls to use tampons. The campaign was also educational,  called 'Getting To Know Yourself'. 

Laurie Partridge, she was Susan's alter ego. No character in the show has changed as much as Laurie. But from the beginning she was always ready to fight for a good cause. It's fascinating to watch how  Susan Dey kept changing on the set, at first Laurie is just a younger sister, Keith feels so responsible for her, but later we can see different Laurie, strong and independent, ready to confront her older brother, and it's usually Keith who loses. We also know about her anorexia, she was painfully thin on the Season 2, in 1971.

Her acting career..I think she was great as Jo March, in the tv adaptation of 'Little Women' from 1978. With Meredith Baxter Birney as Meg..She retired in 2004. Susan Dey serves as a board member of the Rape Treatment Center at UCLA Medical Center. 

So why I have changed my mind? Because I've learnt that 2 years ago Susan Dey took part in online LA Law Reunion. It was during pandemic, and it was to gather money for people in need, for Actors Fund, the money wasn't just for actors, so that was the main reason Susan took part in it. 

The reunion is rather long and I've watched only fragments of it, because I didn't watch LA Law when it was on our TV. What can I say..Susan looked great and she was obviously very happy to meet with the members of the cast. To meet with her friends...

  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...
