… Read Full Bio ↴Connie Stevens (born August 8, 1938) is an American actress and singer.
She was born Concetta Rosalie Anna Ingoglia in Brooklyn, New York, a daughter of Peter Ingoglia (known as musician Teddy Stevens) and singer Eleanor McGinley.
Connie adopted her father's stage name of Stevens as her own. Her parents were divorced and she lived with grandparents. Coming from a musical family, she formed a singing group called The Fourmost, the other three vocalists went on to fame as The Lettermen. In 1953, Stevens moved to Los Angeles with her father. When she was sixteen, she started another singing group, The Three Debs. She enrolled at a professional school (Georgia Massey's School of Song and Dance in Los Angeles), sang professionally and appeared in local repertory theater.
Stevens then started working as a movie extra. After appearing in four B movies, Jerry Lewis saw her in Dragstrip Riot and cast her in Rock-A-Bye Baby. Soon after that, she signed a contract with Warner Brothers.
She played 'Cricket Blake' in the popular Television detective series Hawaiian Eye from 1959 to 1962, a role that made her famous. In a televised interview on August 26, 2003, on CNN's Larry King Live, Stevens recounted that while on the set of Hawaiian Eye she was told she had a telephone call from Elvis Presley. She didn't believe it, but in fact it was Elvis, inviting her to a party, saying he would come to her house and pick her up personally. They dated for a time and she says they remained lifelong friends.
Her first album was titled Concetta (1958). She had minor hits with the songs Blame It On My Youth, Looking For A Boy, and Spring Is Here. She appeared opposite James Garner in a comedy episode of the TV western series Maverick entitled "Two Tickets to Ten Strike," and after making several appearances on the Warner Bros. hit TV series 77 Sunset Strip, she recorded the hit novelty song Kookie, Kookie, Lend Me Your Comb, a duet with one of the shows stars, Edward Byrnes. She also recorded the hit single Sixteen Reasons (1960). It hit the top five in both Billboard and Cashbox.

That song was on the "Palm Springs Weekend" movie record album in late 1963, it's not 1966 as said there.Though the song was sung by Connie Stevens on that movie album of songs, it was not sung in the movie by Connie, which was a flop at the box office.This data was reported by Psychic to the Stars John Cohan who is quite the "Authority" on Connie Stevens, past and present.Quoting John Cohan Celebrity Seer "Palm Springs Weekend" (1963) was a bad takeoff of the Hit 1960 movie "Where The Boys Are" set in Florida with Connie Francis, who to this day,Her recording of that "Where The Boys Are" song is Eternal.The only big difference in "Palm Springs Weekend' was its locale being Palm Springs Calif......Thumbs Up to Connie Francis and Thumbs Down to Connie Stevens who in "Palm Spring Weekend" was so-so childish for her age, then Connie Stevens was 25 years old when she did that movie in 1963.In the Industry Connie Francis is known as the "Belter" for her beautiful powerful voice,She is a Singer's Singer.Connie Stevens is known the "Chirper" her voice never reaches the back of any room.Thank You Celebrity Seer John Cohan for this enlightenment of truth...
