| Jack Cassidy had many assets -- looks, voice, etc., but he unfortunately never really became a big star -- certainly not in comparison to his one-time wife Shirley Jones or his sons David and Shaun. He had to have been aware of that. Alas, he didn't really have "later years" as he died tragically in a fire at age 49. Lots of stories about him abound though, from Shirley Jones herself and also legends about his start in the business with the likes of Cole Porter. But Cassidy really had the talent, the whole package (and how! according to Shirley's autobiography), and it's something of a mystery or of show biz's capricious nature of why he didn't become a big star. Yes, he would have been a great Fred Graham. |
