Actor, singer, musician and author David Cassidy has died. Last week, he was admitted in to a Florida hospital due to kidney and liver failure. He was as 67.

In Feb. 2017, Cassidy appeared in an episode of Dr. Phil where he had admitted to having been diagnosed with dementia, which his mother had died from.

Cassidy was best known as having portrayed Keith Partridge in the comedy series The Partridge Family, which ran on ABC-TV from 1970 to 1974. He became a teen idol, whose face was plastered all over female teenagers’ bedroom walls during this time. When he wasn’t starring as Keith, he spent most of his ‘free’ time recording albums and performing in concerts all over the world. Before he got the The Partridge Family role, he had appeared in episodes of Adam-12, Bonanza and The Love Boat.

Cassidy was a great singer and musician. Sadly, I never got the opportunity to see him perform live. I know he’s putting on one heck of a great show in Heaven. Rest In Peace, David. 🎭📺🎤🎸🎵

Here’s one of my favorite DC/PF songs.

Happy Birthday To…

Me. 🎂🙏🏽😃

I went to dinner with my parents, siblings and niece on Sunday, but today was all about me…or so I thought. I ended up having to run errands for my parents and brother, so I didn’t get much ME time today. I’m intending I can make up for it this weekend.

Never Believe What Some People Say

I recently had a friend reach out to me twice in the last two weeks because she knew I was going through a family crisis. She wanted to be there for me and although I told her that “she didn’t have to,” she made it perfectly clear that she wanted to be there. Well, in the end, guess who wasn’t there for me? 🙄

The above quote perfectly sums up how I’ve felt when a friend or acquaintance says they’ll be there for you and to no surprise, they’re NO where to be found. 😠

‘King Of Comedy,’ Actor, Comedian Jerry Lewis Dead At 91.

Posted on by

Actor, comedian, screenwriter, film producer, film director and humanitarian Jerry Lewis has died. He was 91.

Lewis was best known as the funny half of the film and comedy duo Martin & Lewis–along with actor, singer and straight man Dean Martin. They performed on radio and for U.S. audiences, and appeared in various films together, including My Friend Irma (1949), That’s My Boy (1951) and Artists and Models (1955). Martin & Lewis also made several television appearances, including NBC’s The Colgate Comedy Hour and on CBS’s Toast of the Town–later renamed The Ed Sullivan Show

In 1956, after Martin & Lewis broke up, Lewis made a name for himself, including starring in, writing and directing some of the films he starred in, including The Bellboy (1960), The Errand Boy (1961), The Ladies Man (1961) and The Nutty Professor (1963).

He served as the national chairman of the Muscular Dystrophy Association and for 44 years hosted the Labor Day broadcast of The Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon.

Lewis is survived by his second wife SanDee Pitnick, (adopted) daughter Danielle, and by five sons from his first marriage to Patti Palmer–including Gary (from the 1960’s singing group Gary Lewis and the Playboys), Ronnie, Scott, Anthony and Christopher. His youngest son Joseph, from his marriage to Palmer, preceded him in death, in 2009.
