Why Stuart Whitman was never invited to be in the American pop music video of 10cc's "I'm Mandy Fly Me"

American actor Stuart Whitman was never asked by British pop band 10cc to be in their American pop music video of "I'm Mandy Fly Me" . They never sent him an invitation. They had no extra money. They never flew to Hollywood, California. They couldn't afford to do it in a Woman Hunter Version just like in the 1972 TV film with Barbara Eden and the late Robert Vaughn . Instead, 10cc wanted themselves alone as a band in the original video with too many bad abstract parts ruining the goodness in a British style when destroying The Woman Hunter Version of this song.

I made a comment on YouTube and said: The serious ballad version of "I'm Mandy Fly Me" would have been better without the speed changes and also without the false intro "You'll never get up in one of these again 'cause what goes up must come down" that made no sense. It also would have been better without too much wordplay that spoiled up the goodness. Sorry that British pop band 10cc never flew to America to get Hollywood's biggest stars Barbara Eden, the late Stuart Whitman and the late Robert Vaughn to be in their American pop music video of "I'm Mandy Fly Me" as The Woman Hunter Version, so all they wanted was the band alone.

Here is the real story beh...

Sorry to tell you that the whole world lost Stuart Whitman . He passed away on March 16, 2020 from skin cancer. He would have loved some softer pop music of 10cc , especially his favorite pop ballad part of "I'm Mandy Fly Me" without too much wordplay. He would have liked it with more meaning. He also would have liked it without the quirkiness. He would have been in the American pop music video of "I'm Mandy Fly Me" by 10cc with the late Robert Vaughn & Barbara Eden in 1976. Here is the story: American leading man Stuart Maxwell Whitman was known for his rugged roles. He was born in San Francisco, California, the elder of two sons of Cecilia (Gold) and Joseph Whitman, a realtor. His mother was a Russian Jewish immigrant, while his paternal grandparents were Polish Jews. His family moved often. He graduated from high school in Los Angeles and spent three post-war years with the Army Corps of Engineers. In the army, he won 32 fights as a light-heavyweight...
