Gina Lollobrigida and Nita Talbot

-

I've met with my youngest daughter today, and during our conversation mentioned  Gina Lollobrigida. My daughter is 32 and has never heard about Gina or the movie 'Fanfan la Tulipe'. I've showed her the DC's pics with fruit taken by Gina, and my daughter's wishpered : 'OMG'. Exactly. 

What an amazing woman Gina L. was. Last year someone took a picture of her. She was so small and fragile, but in an elegant skirt and high heels. Strong personality, she could have made much bigger career, but was stubborn, didn't want to live in America, refused many roles, her private life is the story itself.

Gina and David. In 1974 the press around the world asked : 'whether they..?'. We have some articles on the website, also interviews with Gina.

And those pics? They are amazing. Henry Diltz talks about them in that short interview.

Gina was 95, her death and her age has made me think about Nita Talbot, also more than 90. She played Doris Stevens on the first episode of the last Partridge Family season. 'Hate Thy Neighbor'. The first episode with Ricky Segall. Let's see David and listen to 'I'll Never Get Over You'  from it.

Nita Talbot is 92. She was born in New York in 1930, and started her career in modelling when she was 18 years old. When young she was so beautiful, looked like Lauren Bacall. A popular actress (153 credits), not a star, but someone who could stand out even in a small role. I'm a huge Columbo fan, and I remember watching her in one of the Columbo episodes in the 70s. What a pity that Mrs Stevens (and her daughter) appeared in only one episode. Instead we got Ricky.

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...

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...
