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...

Kay Lenz, an Actress

Don't get me wrong, I'm not writing today's blog just to gossip about DC's private life, it's because I always admired that amazing woman, Kay Ann Lenz. She had birthday yesterday. 3 years younger than David, a few years older than a typical DC's fan.  In the 70s I heard quite a lot about Kay Lenz . She was very popular in Poland, like the rest of the cast of 'Rich Man, Poor Man'. That tv series was shown in my country I think in 1978, and everybody watched it, also a lot was written about the cast. So one day I read that Kay's husband was a former teen idol, David Cassidy. There was also a pic and I thought that it was just wonderful, I thought they were the most beautiful couple in the world. There was something very moving about Kay. I thought she was different than typical American actress. Such beautiful eyes, but her beauty wasn't an ordinary kind, not for everybody so to speak. When I was a teen I couldn't put in words what I thought a

They Said I Changed A Lot..

Let's first listen to something which was not released, why they didn't want David singing that song is a great mystery for me. Listening to his young, sincere, innocent and magical voice is one in a kind moving experience. You can just imagine David sitting next to you, with his guitar...and.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PbghG6czuw&t=6s Amazing. And of course we believe in David Cassidy and love songs. When I became a real DC's fan in 2018, there was something I used to discuss a lot with my English friend B. How David Cassidy kept changing. A completely different person in each decade. Or even more often. It was something difficult to understand for me. The many faces of David. Each album different from the previous one, different style and even his voice.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4gvxt1WgaA B. thought there was nothing unusual about how David was changing, and I simply didn't follow his career from the beginning, I didn't grow with him, I didn&#

'I Just Hated Being In The Show..'

Last week someone posted a screenshot of the article from May 1974, unfortunately without the date or the name of the paper. Written by a popular journalist Roderick Gilchrist, I think it was Daily Express. We can read that this interview took place at London Weekend Television's Building, on the day before the DC's last concert in Manchester.  And David said, "I feel like the door to the cage has just been opened. And, any minute now I'm going to be able to fly right away from my prison. I can't tell you how happy that makes me feel because I'll be free again.." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AG0hjhwKx5s His prison..Of course there have been other teen idols in the history of pop culture, but somehow for those from the 70s it was like someone put a curse on them. Nothing David Cassidy recorded later in life hasn't changed a bit that first opinion some people had of him and his music. My FB friend, Laurie Eby has written, "I researched 'New Y
