David Cassidy Cut Katie Out Of His Will

David Cassidy was careful to leave his daughter Katie out of his will — as the former teen idol deliberately disinherited the "Arrow" actress!

As revealed by TheBlast.com, David's will specified that his son Beau was the only “child or children” referred to in his will. She had rushed from a fan convention to be at her estranged father's side on his deathbed. Katie still isn't seeing a dime of David's assets — estimated at approximately $150,000.

As revealed by TheBlast.com, David's will specified that his son Beau was the only “child or children” referred to in his will. She had rushed from a fan convention to be at her estranged father's side on his deathbed. Katie still isn't seeing a dime of David's assets — estimated at approximately $150,000.

Katie, however, can take comfort from her own Hollywood success. After spending six years on the hit superhero series "Arrow," her own estimated net worth is considerably more than that of her troubled father. That's despite David first starting a family feud by trying to keep Katie out of showbiz!

David's two-year affair with model Shirley Benedon lasted longer than many of his marriages. "I wasn't allowed to meet Katie until she was 12," David once complained, "but I have never once not been there for her financially. I've quadrupled what the court asked me to pay for her maintenance for many years, because I wanted to do the right thing." But that ended when Katie tried to start a showbiz career!

The former teen idol was accused of turning his back on Katie in 2004. He had refused to support her showbiz career at the age of 15 — when a manager tried to get her to cover "How Can I Be Sure," which had also been a hit for David. "I don't want my daughter ending up like Michael Jackson," David said at the time, "who seems a lost human being with no concept of reality."

Katie also had to hear David boast about parenting Beau, who was only two years younger than his daughter. " I learned to be a great father by doing everything my own father didn't do," he explained. "My father wasn't around for me, but I make sure I'm always there for Beau."

The actress later admitted that she was "a little bit pissed off" about starting her own career without any financial support. Still, she was by her father's deathbed to report his final words — "So much wasted time" — and had already forgiven her dad. "Moving to Hollywood on my own was scary, initially," she had said, "but it’s one of the greatest things my parents could have done!"
