About this user

Walden Robert Cassotto was born May 14, 1936 in the Bronx, New York.
Childhood rheumatic fever damaged Bobby Darins heart. Born during the Depression, his family was one of millions on welfare, in dire hardship. But unlike other kids, at the age of 13 he overheard the doctor telling his family Bobby would not live past 16. He knew someday hed need high-risk open-heart surgery, but delayed it for years hoping for medical advancements. This cruel sword over his head sparked Bobbys frantic work ethic and tireless ambition, his quest to be the best ever. He attacked life and career knowing he had so little time.

Bobby's "Horatio Alger" rags-to-riches story is one of exceptional drive, ambition, rare courage, moving human drama, intense personal tragedy. It spans an epic period from the late 30s to the early 70s. Bobbys life was filled with the cruel knowledge he was "running out of time." Had he lived, Im confident the gifted, dynamic entertainer would today be a superstar. He was so alive, full of energy. His music improves with age like fine wine.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bobby had an amazing rare and unseen talent, he was the first a last of a dying breed.

Here, his memory will live on through his career.

Actress, model. Born Alexandra Zuck, on April 23, 1942 (some sources say 1944), in Bayonne New Jersey. She was the only child of John and Mary Zuck, who divorced when Sandra was a toddler.
Sandras first modeling job was for Girl Scouts Magazine, which enabled her to eventually sign with a modeling agency. At the age of 12, the actress was discovered by producer Ross Hunter. Hunter launched her movie career and persuaded Universal Studios to sign the young actress to a seven-year contract. It was during this time that Sandra Douvan adopted the stage name Sandra Dee.
In 1960, while filming Come September (released in 1961), 18-year-old Dee co-starred and fell in love with teen icon Bobby Darin. The two were married in December of 1960 and had a son, Dodd, the following year. The couple would also star together in If a Man Answers (1962) and That Funny Feeling (1965). The marriage lasted seven years and abruptly ended in 1967 concurrent with the end of Dees film career.
