Actress Evelyn Ward, who appeared on Broadway as well as on TV and film frequently from the 1940s-1960s, died December 23 of Alzheimer's disease at the age of 89.

Ward's Broadway credits included Early to Bed, Billion Dollar Baby, Heaven on Earth, Along Fifth Avenue, and New Girl in Town. Her many TV appearances included Mike Hammer, Perry Mason, Dr. Kildare, and more.

Ward was born in West Orange, New Jersey to Ethel Laurinda and Frederick Ward. In 1948, after several years performing in New York, she married fellow actor Jack Cassidy, with whom she had one child, actor and musician David Cassidy (The
Partridge Family), before their divorce less than 10 years later.

She is survived by son David Cassidy.

I'm sorry she passed, she must have bought joy to many and will be missed.

But, I never heard of her. Her son David; just two words to describe him, dream-y!

Search images for pictures of young David Cassidy and you'll see why every twelve year-old girl knew who he was. Now compare pictures of him today. What happened?

Why is it every teen idol from my youth did not age well? I don't want to name names (initials are B.G.s), but there are no good looking teenagers who grew up to be goodlooking men.

Compare that phenomenon to good looking men who became good looking old men. Clint still looks good, and Tom Selleck is still attractive.

Very few good looking youth become good looking adults.

Interest" <wilm...@gmail.com> shouted from the highest rooftop:
On the other hand we have the female child actresses (so politically
incorrect) and performers who have developed into stunning adults.

Elizabeth Taylor is the first name that comes to mind. But I'm sure
there are more.
