Among the many stars that the world lost last year, David Cassidy is remembered as the iconic superstar of the 1970s. The renowned actor passed away in November 2017 at the age of 67.

During his final days, he remained hospitalized, and among the close friends and family who stood by his side towards the end was his only daughter Katie.

As reported by People, Katie was born to Cassidy and popular former model Sherry Williams. After the couple split owing to familial differences, Katie was raised by her stepfather, Richard Benedon.

That said, Cassidy revealed in a 2009 interview that he was always open and non-judgemental towards her.

The superstar stated that he never had to be an involved father to Katie since she was too young when he and Williams separated.

Her famous father had a special place in Katie’s life, and she had expressed in a candid interview that she felt completely free to talk to him about anything without any inhibitions.

She added that Cassidy was more than just her biological father – he was her friend.

In Cassidy’s opinion, one should take up work for the sake of the opportunity it presents. He also asserted that every role should either be played whole-heartedly or not at all.

Eventually, the father and daughter seemed to drift apart and pursue their busy lives. Even though Cassidy had not spoken to Katie in a long time, he did not shy away from praising her for the woman she became.

Despite the ups and downs in their relationship, the love between the parent and child stood the test of time, as Katie dropped everything to be by her ailing father’s side in his final moments.
