It was a day to remember, and after 24 hours I'm trying to write down how we, David's fans, all over the world, remembered David Cassidy on a day which would have been his 75th birthday, So many wonderful, truly touching things happened during this last weekend.

Maya James, my FB friend, and dear fellow fan, has put it the best. 'It's wonderful how many Facebook pages are acknowledging David on his 75th birthday and seeing his beautiful face plastered everywhere just like our bedrooms used to be.' Not only Facebook pages. Also on Twitter, Instagram and Threads.

There were a lot of posts, David was remembered by the members of his family, his famous friends, but first of all by fans. Those lucky ones, who'd met him in person or seen him on stage, shared their precious photographs and wrote about their sorrow and gratitude. And also the rest of us, fans from all over the world, remembered David Cassidy on this special day.

Johnny Ray Miller shared especially poignant post. About David's brother, Ryan who phoned him, and their coversation about David, and the future, about 'all the possiblities going forward'. I hope Johnny Ray Miller will have nothing against that I quote a fragment from his post, but it's really something special. "In memory of David, I paid tribute to the idea of possibilities. David believed in his own possibilities, and so many of them came true. David believed in my possibilities, and it changed my life" I never met David Cassidy, but I can say the same.

Jon Provost remembered David ; Anthea Turner and Keith Atack wrote to fans from David Cassidy Great Brtan Legacy Group. Wonderful Denise Ames met with Sam Hyman, and she is also the author of the article which will appear in May issue of ReMIND Magazine, to mark DC's birthday. 'Wearing David Cassidy's Iconic 1970s Jacket'. It's amazing that Sam Hyman kept this jacket we all know so well, safe for so many years.

Fans from Sharron Liddle's David Cassidy Great Britain Group met in London. There were flowers and a memorial book at St. Giles in the Fields Church, Could It Be Forever - A Tribute To David Cassidy Alex and his guitarist Keith performed some David's songs. There was also another meeting organized in the Netherlands by Marjon Hoogendam-Landmeter. In London there were 21 fans, in the Netherlands, 40.

Love Is All That I Ever Needed. A David Cassidy Biography. Chapter 1

Image
  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,...

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...

Two Weddings In Las Vegas

First 'Four Weddings and a Funeral'. The film premiered in the UK 30 years ago, on May 13, 1994.  A low budget film, made in 6 weeks, became unexpected success, all over the world, earned just mountains of money, and made of  Hugh Grant international star. It's also a film with a very strong David Cassidy's connection.  The script was written by Richard Curtis (born in 1956), whose partner (they married after many years in 2023), a popular broadcaster Emma Freud, was (and still is) a DC fan. She gave some interviews about her love for DC and meeting him in person. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ogl0mA_15ys 163 000 views, this one scene. Someone wrote 6 years ago, 'RIP David Cassidy. We know we loved you'. We still do. Two weddings in Las Vegas. Beau Cassidy and his fiance, Stephanie, just got married there. Something different was planned, in Europe, in September. And according to Sue Shifrin, Las Vegas was the last minute decision and that's the reason Dav...
