Connie Stevens- Birth, Age, Ethnicity, Siblings, Education

Stevens was born on August 8, 1938, in Brooklyn, New York City, USA, under the zodiac sign of Leo, and holds American nationality. Connie grew up in New York City with her musician father, Peter Ingoglia (Tedy Stevens), and her singer mother, Eleanor McGinley, who was half Irish and half Ashkenazi Jewish, while her father was Italian, Irish, German, Jewish, and Polish.

Her father was largely known by his stage name Stevens, and because she preferred it to her given name, Connie opted to use it as her professional name as well. Her parents divorced when she was quite young, and she was taken to live with her grandparents in Missouri after witnessing a murder in Brooklyn when she was 12 years old. Connie had a half-brother named John Megna, who was born in 1952 but passed away in 1995.

She attended multiple Catholic boarding schools during which time she became a member of The Fourmost music group, commencing her singing career. At the age of 16, she joined The Three Debs music group and enrolled in The Georgia Massey Professional School in the San Fernando Valley, where she graduated.

Connie Stevens- Relationship, Married Life

Connie’s romantic life began when she was about 25 years old. She married fellow actor James Stacy in 1963, and the couple was married for three years until divorcing in 1966 for undisclosed reasons. She married Eddie Fisher, a prominent musician, a year later in 1967, and the two were married for two years before divorcing in 1969 – Eddie died on September 22, 2010. During her marriage with Eddie, Connie had two kids named Joely Fisher and Tricia Leight Fisher, but little further is known about her love life in the years following her second divorce. Connie is still well-known today, with a star on the Palm Springs Walk of Stars in California, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and a star on the Italian Walk of Fame in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

She was elected secretary-treasurer of the Screen Actors Guild on September 23, 2005, and has long been a supporter of the Republican Party, donating significantly to it. Stevens is the recipient of the Founder’s Medal for Patriotism, which was presented to her on June 29, 2013, by Merry Ann Wright, President General of the National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution.

Connie Stevens- Professional Career

Connie had her first major role when she was 19 years old, in 1957, in a low-budget film called “Young and Dangerous.” Connie was praised for her portrayal in the film “Eighteen and Anxious,” which was released the same year, as well as in the TV series “The Bob Cummings Show” and the film “Dragstrip Riot,” which was released in 1958.

She rose to prominence after co-starring with Jerry Lewis in the 1958 musical comedy film “Rock-A-Bye Baby” – her performance prompted her to sign a seven-year contract with Paramount, which paid her $600 per week with the possibility of increasing to $1,500; however, the contract was terminated after only a year. Connie signed a seven-year contract with Warner Bros. for $300 per week as soon as her contract with Paramount was terminated; during that time, she appeared as a guest star on several TV shows like “The Ann Southern Show,” “Maverick,” “Tenderfoot,” and many others.

She landed the role of Cricket Blake in the “Hawaiian Eye” detective series in 1959, and it was this role that made Connie famous – she was a main cast member until the show concluded in 1963. Concurrently, she appeared in the films “Parrish” in 1961, “Susan Slade” in 1962, and “Palm Springs Weekend” in 1963. She appeared as a guest on the television shows “Temple Houston” and “The Red Skelton Show” before landing her first film major part in “Two on a Guillotine” in 1965. Stevens starred as Wendy Conway in the TV sitcom “Wendy and Me” in 1964 and 1965, and then in the film “Never Too Late” in 1965. She received her first Broadway job in 1968 when she appeared in “The Star-Spangled Girl” — she fell in love with live performances and went on to regularly play in Las Vegas nightclubs.

Her following appearances included “Double Duty,” which was shot in 2009, “Just Before I Go,” which was shot in 2014, and “Search Engines,” which was shot in 2016. She has also done some directing over the years, directing the documentary film “A Healing” in 1997 and “Saving Grace B. Jones” in 2006. When she was invited to be a guest on CNN’s “Larry King Live” TV show in 2003, Connie revealed that she was once called by popular artist Elvis Presley, who invited her to one of his parties and promised to pick her up at her house – the two eventually dated for an unknown amount of time. Connie Stevens created her “Forever Spring” cosmetic skin care product line in the early 1990s, and went on to open the Connie Stevens Garden Sanctuary Day Spa in her hometown of Los Angeles.

Connie’s musical career

Connie’s first album, “Concetta,” was published in 1958 and garnered positive reviews, making Connie fairly popular in the music industry — songs from the album that became modest singles including “Blame it on My Youth” and “Spring is Here.” Connie got a chance to record the “Kookie, Kookie (Lend Me Your Comb)” song in 1959, which made her popular – the song was a duet created with Edd Byrnes, and reached fourth place on the “Billboard Hot 100” chart, thanks to her appearance in the “77 Sunset Strip” TV series produced by Warner Bros.

Stevens’s 1960 hit “Sixteen Reasons” remains her biggest hit to this day, reaching the third place on the “Billboard Hot 100” and tenth place in the UK, while some of her other notable songs include “Too Young To Go Steady,” “Apollo,” “Why’d You Wanna Make Me Cry,” and “Now That You’ve Gone.”

Interests and hobbies

Connie has primarily focused on her singing and acting talents over the years, but she has also enjoyed a variety of other activities.
Connie was always a party girl who enjoyed being the center of attention, which is why she adored performing live in Las Vegas since both the audience and the reviewers enjoyed watching her perform.

She has always been interested in conducting charity work and contributing money to those in need, and she has also given money to practically anybody who has asked for it — Connie feels that a person should not have more than he or she needs. Despite the fact that her occupations consumed the majority of her time, she was present when her daughters were growing up, and she witnessed both of them become successful actresses, as well as her younger daughter Tricia Leigh, who is now a singer.

Connie now lives a tranquil and peaceful life, preferring to spend her free time sitting in her garden reading a nice book.

Body Measurements: Height, Weight, Hair color

Connie is now 81 years old. She is 5ft 2in (1.57m) tall with long blonde and brown hair and blue eyes, and her weight is unknown.

Social media

Connie doesn’t seem to be interested in being active on popular social media networks – she has multiple profiles on the internet, but she doesn’t post on them very often. She started her Twitter account in September 2011, and she has about 2,800 followers and has tweeted nearly 350 times since then. Her Instagram account has just about 50 followers, despite the fact that she has uploaded over 60 photos to it — Connie also has a Facebook page, which has nearly 600 fans.
