Inspired By David Cassidy

-

Jessica Chastain, a very known actress and a global movie star, and she is a very successful one, she got an Academy Award in 2022, and also got a Golden Glob, and during her career was nominated  for Emmy and for Tony awards, and many others, she is a real celebrity, anyway, she was on Jimmy Fallon's show on December 16. This year. She was to promote her new film and you should know that around 1,3 million viewers watch The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. And in one moment during her interview, Jessica Chastian has said what and who inspired her to become an actress..

She was born in 1977, and David performed in 'Joseph And Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat'  from March to September of 1983, and later toured the USA and Canada. Her grandma took her to see the show..It has made me feel old at first, but also inspired me, because my younger grandson is a born actor (and a charmer), and maybe it's time to go to the theatre with him. He is only 3,5 years old, the same age when DC saw his father on stage..

Let's listen to the most famous song from 'Joseph'. 'Any Dream Will Do' with live recording.

We know of course that David inspired hundred of thousands of teens, all over the world in the 70s. In many ways, not only to become musicians. I've written about it many times. As Boy George wrote after David had died, 'David Cassidy was the biggest heartthrob of the 70's. Every boy wanted to look like him. His voice was like velvet.'

While searching for something on YT, I've watched this today, it was a pure accident, very moving..David is remembered nearly at the end of this video. 3 wonderful photographs and a fragment of his biggest hit..

  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...
