Jack Cassidy– Katie Cassidy

Multiple Tony Award nominee Jack Cassidy was an actor who gained fame for his work across TV, film, and theater. Jack was also awarded a Grammy for his excellent work in Broadway’s musical, She Loves Me. His career on TV was highlighted by him becoming a guest star on Match Game, Get Smart, and That Girl, among others. He was also the father of David Cassidy.

He never got to see Katie Cassidy, his granddaughter, as she was born in 1986, while the actor has passed a decade earlier. However, if he did, we are sure that the elder Cassidy would be proud of what she has accomplished. Katie received her breakthrough role in 2012 in the CW series Arrow and has since appeared on several TV shows and movies. Though she never dabbled in theater, like her grandfather, she has received credits for her work in music videos, games, and web series.
