A Year To Remember. 2025

-

Of course since David Cassidy has passed away each year is important. Time is not on our side. Fans all over the world work hard and do everything what is possible to keep David's legacy alive. No one help us. We are on a mission,

All projects and initiatives commemorating David Cassidy, like plaques in the places he performed as an actor or a singer (not only in London), or the plaque in the Queens departure longue at Heathrow, benches in London and Saratoga Springs, a time capsule in London, his star in Las Vegas or the bricks in Liverpool, and many more, all of them were created thanks to the effort and persistence of the fans. Yes,  some David Cassidy's friends or people who knew him or worked with him always give their support, but it's mostly verbal.

In May 2025, Denise Ames, beautiful, amazing woman, so full of positive energy, so in May Denise for the second time organized the celebration of Sam Hyman's birthday. This year  his birthday was special, the 75th. Sam Hyman is just a few weeks younger than his famous friend, David Cassidy.

Thanks to Denise and fans who came for this special celebration (also from Australia and the UK) and who published a lot of videos and pics, we could all indirectly took part in this one of a kind, extraordinary event. Denise Ames made Sam Hyman our dear friend. What a kind, generous, witty, loyal man. What a great sense of humor. And how he misses David, just like we do. That's the most touching

Thanks to Sam we could admire David's famous jacket, it looked so beautiful and after half of century surprisingly like brand new. What an experience for girls who came to California from afar to touch the jacket or even try it on. We also heard some wonderful, amazing, moving stories, Sam Hyman shared his precious memories with us.

The most important event of 2025, and probably it was the most important celebration of David Cassidy ever organized by his fans, took place at the end of July. In West Orange, New Jersey. 

The scale of this event so professionally prepeared, the fact that West Orange Mayor took part in it, the sheer number of fans, the amazing guests who along with fans gathered at  Colgate Field to honor David Cassidy with a new historical marker. David's family was present, both his children and his cousins. His close friend, a famous photographer, Henry Diltz. Johnny Lee Miller who wrote a book about Partridge Family, the show and its music. But there was more, and now we have David Cassidy Way in West Orange, and since July, David's brothers Shaun and Patrick visited West Orange and thanks to social media who knows how many people have got to know about the marker. Shaun Cassidy's post alone has more than 42k views and was shared nearly 900 times.

Already in July, in West Orange, we all felt that we are taking part in something extraordinary, special and magical, for 2 days David Cassidy's fans rocked West Orange, we took David home and now we have a place where David will be honored and cherished. It took Barb Schlamp-Collentine and her wonderful team more than 2 years to organize this amazing event, and it's the one thing to have an idea and quite another figure out how to achieve it and see it through to the end. We are forever grateful.

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.   I was truly sorry and 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, The Monkees. But we for ever 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, she said about David, "He is just marvellous and really knows how to handle his success.(..) We hit it o...

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...
