Shaun Cassidy

In the '70s, I had as big a crush on Shaun Cassidy as anyone, but looking back at these pics, I don't even find him attractive. Anyone else still have a thing for him?

All the Cassidys had huge dicks.

Shaun always seemed to have a rather feminine look to me, there were things about him I found attractive but Parker Stevenson was more of a turn on for me. Now Parker Stevenson's look then just seems to be a take off of Farrah Fawcett.

He was so cute back in the day when I was a gayling but now...eww.

I'm several years younger than Mark Hamill who was really my first real crush at 11/12. I am so glad my 12 year old self back had such prescience and good taste. And Hamill still appears to be a good guy after all these years.

He and I made love, but it was so that I could get to and control David, finally.

David, his half-brother, and Shirley Jones, his mom, both had great voices. Shaun’s is nothing special. He was considered cute and wore tight clothes which made him popular. See Leif Garrett.

He really resembles his mother.

Yuck, never understood the attraction. But there was some inexplicable other "heartthrobs" at around that time - Leif Garrett, Henry Winkler, Paul Michael Glaser, Lance Kerwin, Phillip McKeon. Some real "unique" idols from that period of time. And i didn't find David Cassidy very appealing although he had a pretty great smile that made up for it.

I saw the Cassidy (half) brothers in “Blood Brothers” on Broadway with Petula Clark as the mom.

David Cassidy played the poor troubled brother and was a talented dramatic actor. Shaun played the brother who was adopted by a posh family. He had a sweet tenor voice that was quite legit - not as strong as his dad Jack Cassidy but a sweet soulful Irish tenor sound. They were both very good in the show.

There is another brother Patrick Cassidy who has done a lot of musical theater as well.

I had a crush on both David and Sean, in that order. It was only about a year apart, but I was a kid, I had probably already had two or three other crushes in between them. But looking back I think David was better looking - nicer hair and had a great smile, Sean was quite bland.

Pretty sure her dementia is a result of taking chlor-trimeton, a first gen antihistamine which has shown to cause dementia with long term use, for her hay fever.

I knew Shaun back in the 70s. He was dating a friend of a friend ( a much older Playboy Bunny who used to be involved with James Caan.) He was a real prick and homophobic. He and Patrick were both regulars at the Playboy Mansion. I worked with Patrick later. He was nicer than Shaun, not terribly bright though.

Shaun's concert performances (lots of them on Youtube) were and are incredibly hot, close to obscene. Tight jeans, big cock, butt-wiggling, hair-flipping. Arrogant as hell, which is part of the appeal.

I saw BLOOD BROTHERS on Broadway. David came out of the stage door and met fans and signed autographs. Shaun ignored the fans and made for the limo.

It was his long, flowing hair that made Shaun a hottie. We need to bring back that hairstyle.

All I recall about his post-teen idol years is that he successfully produced some television shows. He married a couple of times (once to the older Playboy bunny mentioned upthread) and had a bunch of kids.

Although a lot of the family had fallen out with David in his troubled final years, they were all at his bedside when he died a few years ago. Shaun posted some really moving tweets afterward. Sad.

Zac Efron reminds of David Cassidy -- not bad looking, but not actually sexy, not all that comfortable with what he was doing.

Whereas Shaun clearly looovvvvved being a teen idol.

Shaun Cassidy was before my time so I looked him up and was surprised that he's been a very successful tv producer. From Wiki:
