Dear Damien, I'm so very sorry I was not there when you needed me but I didn't know where you were until it was too late. I did stay to comfort your mom Joanna in her cabin for a while until she began accusing me of taking things even though I bought food for her and her dogs. I love and miss you friend and think of you often...of our crazy escapades and of Ed Limato but more than anything our time together on the beach where that old lady asked if we were brothers because of the way we played and our trip to the Renaissance fair...even our all night trips downtown to score. You were my best friend, Damien and I miss you always. You were an Devil that looked like an Angel and together we will one day have more in heaven 💕
Damien Zachary Cord was born Oct 3rd 1968 in Los Angeles, California. He was the son of British actress JoAnna Pettet and her lover Terence Stamp. Damien's mother, JoAnna, married Alex Cord who raised Damien but was not his birth father.
While Damien was Joanna's only child, Alex Cord had 2 children (a boy and a girl) from other relationships.
Damien, who was an actor like his parents, died too young at 26 years old on July 7th, 1995. While his obituary says that he died of "respiratory complications", other sources say that he died of a heroin overdose.
For fifty years I have been a Document Examiner and that is how I earn my living.
For over 50 years I have also been a publicist for actors, singers, writers, composers, artists, comedians, and many progressive non-profit organizations.
I am a Librettist-Composer of a Broadway musical called, "Nellie Bly" and I am in the process of making small changes to it.
In addition, I have written over 100 songs that would be considered "popular music" in the genre of THE AMERICAN SONGBOOK. My family consists of four branches. The Norwegians and The Italians and the Norwegian-Americans and the Italian Americans.
