The surprising piece was published smack in the middle of Cassidy’s run as Keith Patridge on the wholesome family sitcom, which aired on ABC from 1970 to 1974. At the time, The Partridge Family was a hit on ABC’s Friday night schedule, airing right after The Brady Bunch.
In the article, Cassidy's one-night stand from the night before rated his bedroom skills, then added, “But seeing him doing his act, I can’t believe it’s the same person. This act is so Las Vegas. He’s like a male Ann-Margret.”
Cassidy wanted to change his image—and get back at others who profited off of him
Cassidy, who had the largest fan club in history at the time, admitted he agreed to the photoshoot behind his manager’s back. “I didn’t tell my management I was doing that. They went insane. We shot it at my house in Los Angeles,” he told the outlet
Cassidy once admitted that he posed for the shoot as a clapback at everyone who profited from his Partridge Family image. “It pissed off everybody that was really profiting from the business of David Cassidy,” he said. “[I ]scratched my head and thought, You know, this David Cassidy business has really gotten outta hand.”
In 1998, Cassidy revealed he only received a small percentage of all of the merchandising of his likeness.
Cassidy, who died in 2017 at age 67, also revealed that he didn’t want to be remembered as a “former teen idol.” “Don’t call me a heartthrob,” he said. “Don’t call me a sex symbol. Call me a writer, a singer, a producer, an actor. Tell me I’m bad, tell me I’m lousy. But don’t call me that.”
