Quote from They Made a Monkee Out of Me-"My most favourite person who worked for Screen Gems was a nun, and a flying one at that..."
"She lived on Kings Road and I loved on Queens Road-they both led up to the same mountain. I would leave my castle on the hill and rap-tap on her door. We'd talk about the movies we wanted to see, the places we wanted to go, and the lives we wanted to live. We exchanged problems and cried on each other's shoulders."
"She was then, as now, most attractive-like a doll somethimes. Childlike. Yet she could be adult and distant too. I loved to spend time with her. It was a studio friendship which the papers love."
"Fired the tank, blew out the hillside-no problem."
"Deano thought it was great, too. He wanted to buy a whole Panzer Division. Probably has done by now-his dad's not short of a bob or two. And Jeannie (Dean's wife) would always give the kids whatever they wanted. She was great-always treated me like one of the family."
"I got to know them all through Deana. Milton Berle had introduced us at the Whiskey a Go Go one night. I think she could tell I fancied her-I kept getting down and sucking the hem of her dress-while she was dancing. (With someone else!)"
"Nothing came of it though, until later when we had her as a guest on the TV show. She was a fairy princess-one of the girls I fell in love with each week, stars in my eyes, the whole bit. But the stars stayed in my eyes after the show for a while there."
"In show business, or any other type of business that exposes you to the media, when you're seen out with a member of the opposite sex, the press immediately assumes that the next step is marriage."
"So Lulu and the Monkees shared the same bill at Wembley in '67-and later on she visits The Monkees set back in Hollywood and straight away we're supposed to have marriage plans. Ridiculous, really. I couldn't have-my girlfriend would have punched me out."
"Lulu is so sweet. There was two types of entertainment people and she slots easily into the better half."
"We had lunch and dinner and our lips meet-our hearts heat as one for ever such a short time. I was doing what I had to do and she was riding her own wave of success. I felt lonely and very much in need of her kindness and feeling but we were very young and moving in very fast times. We both came from working-class backgrounds and our feelings for each other were so true-very real."
Gillian *pronounced with a hard "g" not "Jillian") and Davy were still a couple in June of 1998. Davy said "I've been seeing Gillina now for about a year and a half. She's an actress, and she's trying to get herself established. She's a super little actress really. She's just had her 28th birthday and she's, you know, just a nice person and she's good company and I like to spend time with her and she likes to spend time with me, and that's about it, you know. We have no other plans further than that. I'm not really seeing anybody else, and she's not seeing anybody else. We met on June 20th (1996) at Universal Ampitheater. Coming up in June, it'll be two years that we met. And (after we met), we just talked for three weeks and wrote letters, and I had a broken leg, and then we got together, and I moved in with her last November, and we shared an apartment for a year, and New Years' we decided it would be best that she had her place and I had mine, so she moved into her own place. There's not much else to say. She's a nice girl. It's been fun, it's nice, and hopefully it'll be something that can go on and be as enjoyable for both of us."
Now Monkee Business Fanzine, and a local paper reported that sometime after this article that Davy and Gillian have broken up. NOT to say they still aren't friends. If anything it was a mutual breakup. So I hope this clears up any worries for all the Davy obsessee's here!
