New Updates. The Articles

-

 

I've read all new (old) articles Jane has downloded on The Official Website of David Cassidy to mark April 12, 2025. Some of them are not new, we've had them for years, published on other newspapers, but it was an interesting read. The articles are mostly from the early 70s and 90s, it's a shame nothing new from 1985, when DC played his UK tour. 

March 1972. A lot of notes on upcoming DC's concerts and how much he earned on them. We can read that MSG concert grossed $130,972, and because David also performed the next day, on March 12, in Bangkor, ME, he earned that weekend $172,218. Poor David, they counted (and envied) him every single dollar. 

June 1972. That was interesting. It happened that David and Jack were working at the same studio at that time. DC filming TPF, and his father guest starred in another TV show. According to the article they met for the first time in 10 months. Jack Cassidy, "We've both been so busy that we hadn't seen each other since I hosted a Merv Griffin show last August and Davd guested with me.". And what more, they planned a movie together..

This one interview (August 1972) is amazing, showing how David was aware of his situation as a dream boy for millions of girls. He must have thought about it a lot. "The artist on stage is so safe. The adoration of his fans is a threat only to himself". He was only 22..

In August 1972 there were articles about filming the show in Kings Island, DC surrounded by security and police, he was mobbed by fans. The pic is from one of these articles.

There are also a lot of new articles from 1991 about David's tour in 1991, how important it was after 'Enigma' label filed for bankruptcy and couldn't promote David's self-titled album. He said, "Somebody coined a name for it the other day. They said it was kind of like my credibility tour. Okay, I'll buy that." I've chosen this one article to show you because it has slightly different and unknown to me David's pic. The number of interviews with DC from 1991 and 1992 is really impressive.

From 1993 to 1995 we've got new reviews of DC's book and his role in 'Blood Brothers'. This one is a very detailed review of the play, and interview with Petula Clark and David Cassidy.

And at the end we've got an article (actually I read it in 2017, but it's good it's on the website now) published on November 29, 2017. "A Day To Remember With David Cassidy..'

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...
