Part 2 of conversation with Ann Moses,  former Tiger Beat editor and author of "Meow: My Groovy Life with Tiger Beat's Teen Idols."  Ann discusses why David Cassidy seemed burdened by an inner sadness even at the height of his fame, his relationships with Partridge Family cast members, and why we continue to be fascinated with David 50 years after the Partridge Family TV series went on the air in September 1970. 

Ann Moses was a typical California teenager when she began writing about the music scene in Hollywood in 1965. From 1965 to 1972, her job at Tiger Beat made her the youngest editor of a national magazine in the country.  There, she interviewed all the fan favorites -- from Paul Revere and the Raiders to Bobby Sherman, the Monkees, the Osmonds, and of course, David Cassidy, star of ABC's The Partridge Family.  Ann spent hundreds of hours interviewing and observing a young Cassidy on set, witnessing his transformation from a very young, aspiring actor to a world-famous concert artist.
