In Conversation with Competition Winner, Clea Mylonas

Oct 13, 2020

My guest is devoted fan, Clea Mylonas, who won a competition in 1974 to meet David in California. She had to wait until the spring of 1975 to fulfil her ambition, meeting him at the recording studio where he was working with Bruce Johnston of the Beach Boys making his first RCA album, The Higher They Climb.

Clea, who was 22 when she won the competition, raised an outstanding £500 to land the first prize. The competition in aid of The Friends of the Children Society, involved following clues around London.

“I worked really hard for it,” she explained. “Meeting David was the highlight of my life. He never shattered my dream.”

Clea’s story is published in my book, Cherish David Cassidy A Legacy of Love, but here she speaks with emotion and enthusiasm about what being a fan means to her, how nervous she was meeting him, recalls the moment she watched David walking towards her and why she believes he is now at peace.
