Connie Stevens is an American actress and singer whose performance in TV series ‘Hawaiian Eye’ brought her lot of accolades. Born as Concetta Rosalie Ann Ingolia, IN New York, she had a difficult childhood and faced a lot of challenges. Her parents divorced when she was very young and she went to live with her grandmother. Her grandmother passed away when she was eight years old, and Stevens found herself alone again. As a 12 year old she became a witness to a murder in Brooklyn and this incident deeply traumatized her. However, she was a brave girl and moved on in life. Her father was a jazz musician and her mother a singer, so singing was very much in her genes. As a young girl she formed a vocal quartet called The Foremost, where she was accompanied by three male backup singers. She eventually ventured into Hollywood and got noticed by the legendary comedian Jerry Lewis who cast her in his film, ‘Rock-a-Bye Baby’. Later on she gained fame and recognition for her portrayal of Cricket Blake in the ABC's detective series ‘Hawaiian Eye’. Meanwhile she also released several hit-singles and albums. After acting and singing, she ventured into the cosmetics industry as a businesswoman and launched her own skin-care line known as Forever Spring. Now she devotes her time to various philanthropic and humanitarian causes
