Beverly Hills - Connie Stevens is perhaps one of the most beautiful women on and off screen. Born Concetta Rosalie Ann Ingoglia, this multi-talented dynamic performer has captured the hearts of millions via Broadway, TV, or as a Recording Artist. She began singing as a teen and was the first artist to be signed to the newly formed Warner Brothers Records. "Sixteen Reasons" exploded on every chart across America and reached number one. It was in the stars for Connie, and Hollywood was buzzing with Tinseltown excitement. Her first big break came when Jerry Lewis cast her in the hit movie "Rock A-Bye-Baby." Once again, Warner Bros was quick to sign the new hot diva. Her role as Cricket Blake on the hit series "Hawaiian Eye," which ran for four years on ABC, confirmed her ability as a diverse actor. Ms. Stevens's relationship with WB became a bit rocky when she was denied a chance to audition for the lead in "My Fair Lady." Yes, a true Italian ego. Her success in the 60's continued and made her one of the most sought-after female stars of her time. She appeared with sexy Troy Donahue in the classic film "Parish" and "Palm Springs Weekend." Although I'm somewhat reluctant to say she was a sex symbol (chuckle chuckle), there is no denying her appeal was universal with the males. Connie was in demand. She would appear in such films as "Two on a Guillotine," "The Grissom Gang," and "Never Too Late." One of my favorites was "Grease 2," starring Maxwell Caulfield and Michelle Pfieffer, and of course, "Back to the Beach," with Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon. An Italian reunion of sorts…nice. But Connie was not just about acting. Her talents gained her international reputation performing for 4 U.S. Presidents at the White House and the Kennedy Center but also her caring dedication to our Troops overseas. Among her charitable works, she founded the Windfeather project to award scholarships to Native Americans. Stevens received the Lady of Humanities Award from Shriners Hospital and the Humanitarian of the Year Award by the Sons of Italy in Washington, DC. Connie developed her own cosmetic skin care product line, Forever Spring, and in the 1990s, she opened the Connie Stevens Garden Sanctuary Day Spa in Los Angeles. Concetta has been a busy babe and still finds time to grace her Italian fans.
