'Everything Is Fabulous' or David Cassidy And Carrie Fisher

-

There is a list on The David Cassidy Official Website, with more than 600 David Cassidy's TV guest appearances. It's not a list of videos we have, sometimes there is only info about a program he guest starred, sometimes only the title of the show, often without an exact date, sometimes is just a month and a year. Or some pics which somehow is even more annoying, because that means that a video exists, only we've had no luck. 

And sometimes a miracle happens, as it happened last year when this video appeared after 50 years! I couldn't believe my eyes when I first watched it, because I knew some pics from that program and it was like suddenly those pics started moving..that was truly surreal experience, and it's still so emotional watching David Cassidy on Estelar Del Sabado, in 1973. He was singing live and he looked so beautiful.

It was also a nice surprise, when last year, on DC's birthday, a very short, but priceless for us, fans,  video was published on The David Cassidy Official Website. February 1967. DC was only 16, and of course everybody always knew whose son he was..

And there is one more category. Unexpected finds. Like today. An unknown David Cassidy TV appearance. This one was from September 1987.  Not good quality, but it's not important. The important thing is that DC wasn't the only guest on this program. The other one was Carrie Fisher. I've been always a fan of Carrie Fisher. Star Wars, Blues Brothers, the books she wrote, her marriage to Paul Simon, and her battle with drug addiction and being bio-polar.

It's so emotional watching two of them, both showbiz kids, difficult childhood, younger step-siblings, both started their career on Broadway. Both David Cassidy and Carrie Fisher achieved their biggest success at the beginning, became stars and celebrities at 20.

Watching them together, sitting on that sofa, joking, laughing, flirting, excited like two kids, with the same kind of humor, understanding each other without words. Both in difficult moment of their lives. Carrie Fisher, after divorce, was promoting her book, 'Postcards from the Edge' which was about her own difficult experiences. 

David, after his second divorce, in debt (and with a child he didn't want to pay for), he still performed in 'Time' but his contract was soon to end, and he didn't get a role in 'Phantom At the Opera' as he wanted. David said at the end of this interview that he didn't know what he was going to do..But the show must go on, 'everything is fabulous', and both him and Carrie were lauging and smiling and even more..

  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...
