Connie Stevens Is Homeless !!

Here's Connie in her heyday (L) and more recently when she began frightening small children

Wasn't she Miss Purdy in the Nutty Professor? Her son had brief success in horror movies.

Nope, looked it up, Stella Stevens. Now I'm curious what happened to Stella, and maybe she's the mom of the horror actor I referred to, who knows.

Damn. This would have been the top story if Larry King were still on.

La da dee da da dum

Stella is the mom of Andrew Stevens.

Stella is 80!!!!

"Just panties, what else do I need?"

WHO THE FUCK ARE MIMSY FARMER AND KATHY GARVER??? How hard could it have been to be bigger than both of them?

I knew Andrew Stevens was in The Fury, but I thought he was also in The Fan (Lauren Bacall,) but that's Michael Biehn. Andrew did play a stalker in The Seduction, with Morgan Fairchild.

Kate Jackson complained about the divorce settlement. She had more money.

Eldergays will remember Connie Stevens from Hawaiian Eye, with DL fave Robert Conrad as detective Tom Lopaka. Some may even recall the hunk rowing the canoe in the show's opening footage, a real muscle lord who never appeared in the episodes themselves.

Also, didn't Connie open in the woman lead in Neil Simon's The Star-Spangled Girl on Broadway? Or did she do the movie?

A shame that she's penniless now. She does have a famous daughter, though, doesn't she?

Been there, done that. Hang in there, kiddo.

Sandy Duncan was the Star Spangled Girl in the movie.

Someone hit me, hard, for knowing that.

Ahhh laaaak the way yewww smeyell

The royalties from her Number 4 on the charts hit should have kept her in caviar for three lifetimes.

Forget Domani

I saw Connie Stevens a few years ago at the Philadelphia Film Festival. She was screening the god awful "Saving Grace B Jones" starring Michael Biehn, Penelope Anne Miller, and Tatum O'Neal. She spoke to the (packed) audience about the making of her movie. It was edited terribly! The sound was awful. the story was disturbing. It was based on a true story from her childhood. She was also in town for some kind of Republican fundraiser. This movie screening was a big thing to her. The entire front row was her family and friends- they were all dressed up. Stranger was how the Philadelphia Film Society treated her like she was a major celebrity with film making cred.

She wants that greaser's greasy comb? Hasn't exactly stood the test of time, has it, and you could've said that the minute it fell off the chart.

and Davey Jones sang the theme song before he sang it to Marcia Marcia Macia!!!!

She was John Smegma's half sister!

ba da dee ba da da

She sold the house for $17 million. I'll bet she will be able to find something for those proceeds to shoulder on.

You don't really think she will walk away with $17 million, do you R22? That house is probably mortgaged for $20M

Egads, the decor in that house is horrifying.

We made up before she died. On the QE2.

From the article on the Variety link, she apparently owned other properties as well. She also began a line of skin care products, IIRC. Is she completely broke, or did she just lose this property?

So "Graciela" of Side Show is broke? Her Republican *ss believes in smaller government & personal responsibility so she better not be living at the taxpayer's expense. Practice what you preach honey.

My eyes are having trouble recovering from those house pics. I think I have retina damage.

I know the wealth sites are shit, but could they really be this far off?

And here she tells the real story of what's going on - she's directing!

Don't cry for her. She's fine. She sends her love.

She's tremendous!

I don't understand why her son Fisher Stevens is not able to provide her with some help. But maybe she will remain true to her Republican roots and pull herself up by her withered, 80-year-old bootstraps.

[quote]But maybe she will remain true to her Republican roots and pull herself up by her withered, 80-year-old bootstraps.

She's already violated those roots by declaring bankruptcy and absolving herself of her responsibility for her debts.

I will NOT be mentioned in the same story as that Replublitrash CONNIE STEVENS. Thank you.

Fisher Steves is not her son. Her daughters are Joely Fisher and Tricia Lee Fischer, who unless they married rich or inherited some of their father's money, can't afford to support Connie.

Joely recently moved to Hidden Hills so she's not exactly destitute.

Just don't give her any dairy. Woman's lactose-intolerant farts will peel the wallpaper right off the walls. But I ain't one to gossip, so you did [italic]not[/italic] hear that from me!

[quote] Now I'm curious what happened to Stella, and maybe she's the mom of the horror actor I referred to, who knows.

Stella is still around but is not in a good way these days. Dementia and other health issues have taken their toll.

I had to look up "Mimsy Farmer" because I had never heard of her. She looks cute, but I guess she was only in junk. Any Mimsy Farmer experts on DL?

R8, Kathy Garver was "Cissy" on "Family Affair."

Don't worry Connie, I hear a nice house will be on the market soon...

[quote]She was a bigger name than Mimsy Farmer and Kathy Garver combined!

I have pledged to use that quotation in a sentence at least once a week this year.

Connie was the center piece of that gang of beautiful girls and more beautiful boys over at the Warner Bros. lot in the late 1950s/early 1960s that included the afore-mentioned Bob Conrad, Suzanne Pleshette, Troy Donahue. Diane McBain, Van Williams and Ty Hardin.

They would throw those kids into all their weekly TV shows, as sidekicks or guest stars and also into every schlocky B movie the studio produced with titles like Susan Slade, Claudelle Inglish, Parrish and Palm Springs Weekend.

As a young gayling I remember reading an interview with her in a movie magazine around 1963, in which she bemoaned the fact that Jack Warner had bought the screen rights to My Fair Lady but was giving the role of Eliza Dolittle to Audrey Hepburn, and Connie felt that as a Warner contract player, she should been considered.

As if that was ever gonna happen!

Like many starlets and models in the 60's/70's/80's, Mimsy Farmer acted in a number of foreign horror movies and giallos. Her best known film is probably Dario Argento's Four Flies on Grey Velvet. It's the third movie in Argento's Animal Trilogy and stars Michael Brandon (who I think was kind of hot at that time). It's worth checking out.

[quote]She was a bigger name than Mimsy Farmer and Kathy Garver combined ” a friend told The ENQUIRER.

I will bet my life savings that the "friend" is a Datalounger.

This is my favorite headline from the Enquirer's current home page:

Captured Drug Boss Orders Execution of Madonna And Sean Penn

what about skeletal Angelina Jollie?

Forever Spring is her gorgeous beauty line.

did you see the Bowie headline?

[Quote] Forever Spring is her gorgeous beauty line.

She use to sell it on QVC and HSN.

Connie's first husband was actor James Stacy, who lost a leg in a motorcycle accident and then was arrested on a female child molestation charge.

Forever Spring was once very successful, did she lose control of the company like Joan Rivers lost her first jewelry company?

Years ago she used to sell that Forever Spring shit on HSN.

r50, see r47.

[Quote] Forever Spring was once very successful, did she lose control of the company like Joan Rivers lost her first jewelry company?

Don't know but yes it was a MASSIVE SELLER!

R49 He stumpfucked a 14 yr old girl. Repug family values.

Is that the house that used to be owned by Sonja Henie?

Confidential memo to directors on HAWAIIAN EYE:

Care should be taken in photographing Steven walking, particularly in long shots. She has a peculiar gait, something like a baby elephant. If at possible shoot her standing still rather than moving from place to place.

[quote]She sold the house for $17 million. I'll bet she will be able to find something for those proceeds to shoulder on.

She had to sell the house, she was filing bankruptcy.

Joey Fisher should've had more post-Ellen success, she was a breakout star on that show like Jeremy Piven. I considered her about on par with Laurie Metcalf on Roseanne.

The famous The John Kerwin Show!

R57 She flirts a bit with John Kerwin. That being said she is a big time lesbian. It seems that everyone who married Eddie Fisher goes lesbo don't they?

Beauty Fades.

Stupid is forever.

r56 She was great as John Goodman's sister on the sitcom, "Normal, Ohio."

But she's one of the top 500 female executives in the country! She said so herself!

[quote]Joey Fisher should've had more post-Ellen success, she was a breakout star on that show like Jeremy Piven. I considered her about on par with Laurie Metcalf on Roseanne.

Maybe if more people remembered that her name is JOELY, not JOEY.

Yes, yes, I was aware I misspelled it, big whoop.

Connie was a star in the early 1960s! Do you realize how long ago that was? How could she possibly have kept money made from back then, well over FIFTY YEARS AGO!

Her stardom waned in the 1970s, ALSO A LONG TIME AGO!

She hasn't acted since! No wonder she is facing homelessness. The Equirer is right!

In the early 1990's, I did a brief stint as a cater waiter. I spent one Christmas eve at her home. Even then it was more than a little tired.The most fascinating room was the butler pantry. Dozens of amazing photographs of Stevens and all her friends and co-stars lined the backsplash. Vegas and Hollywood back in the day. All the old casinos. Pics of her and Fischer. Great black and whites. It wasn't the best caterer by a long shot. Someone from the OC. Even then you could see there was financial trouble. Anyone remember the spa she owned on Robertson? This was LONG before Robertson became an offshoot of Rodeo Drive

I remember Connie did an episodes of Celebrity Ghost Stories - that ugly-ass house was also haunted according to her.

But the Enquirer buried the lead on that story. It should've read "Another Hypocritical Repug Files for Personal Bankruptcy." She's got money stashed away - but she's short on brains and integrity.

BTW, the bitch should stop with the discount plastic surgery post haste - her face is the thing that haunts me.

[quote] How could she possibly have kept money made from back then, well over FIFTY YEARS AGO!

She could have invested it better than she did.

Can they repossess her face lift?

I remember seeing her in Back to the Beach as a young gay in the 80s. Now I know who she is! I'm shocked anybody ever listened to that Kookie song. I know my music history. There was good stuff in the 50s & 60s.

[quote] I remember seeing her in Back to the Beach as a young gay in the 80s.

There was a line in that movie where Frankie Avalon says "this place has gotten a little…effeminate…since the old days."

That Mimsy Farmer/Kathy Garver line is hysterical. It reminds me of an old line in the Simpsons that went something like "Move aside Matthew Modine and Charlene Tilton, there's a NEW star in town."

[R69] ALL of the T.V. teen heart throbs from that era did pop recordings. This weekend is a Donna Reed binge on the Decades channel. This morning I caught the episode where Paul Peterson did the song about the girl not being able to find her key. Later I watched the one with Shelley doing Johnny Angel.

She bought the house from Sonja Henie's estate. Connie claimed on "Celebrity Ghost Stories" that she could hear Sonja's ghost skating in the attic. Apparently, Sonja had a miniature skating rink installed up there when she was alive.

Did she say she heard the ghost skating when she was taking heavy drugs to recover from her bad cosmetic surgery (and that she also heard Ronald Reagan telling her to give good blow jobs like "Mommy" Nancy does)?

Found an old movie mg that unfavorably compared young Connie with Donna Douglas. Donna was not into glamour but had a great figure and was sweet. Connie was trying too hard and already hated. Was around 1963.

She's really very sweet and modest in that interview with John Kerwin. Poor thing!

Btw, who is he? Some LA guy? He looks sort of like a young Chevy Chase but is not very clever.

For a moment there it was all about Connie Stevens and Sandra Dee. Connie had Troy Donahue as a costar in a number of her films too.

"Susan Slade" is one of John Water's favorites.

They sure don't make movie trailers like this anymore....

There was a super-cheap LA cosmetics formulator called La Femme. I remember looking at their old catalog and seeing all her skincare products for a buck a piece. She sold them for substantially more. I thought, how can she live with herself? Price gouging doesn't appear to have helped in the long run.

R76 John Kerwin is originally from Queens of all places. He is based out in LA. Connie Old Dyke Stevens did a good job on his show that nobody watches!

Is there any truth to the rumor that Connie found a 16mm sex tape hidden in the rafters, made by Sonja Henie and Liberace?

I really like blue.

R80 LOL Lib is a gold star gay. What he did with Sonia(bearding) needs a new word...something like cuntfronting. Nothing else will do.

She apparently been liquidating other real estate and had a foreclosure on one property in Wyoming but still has houses in Palm Springs & Las Vegas. Perhaps the bills for all that wretched plastic surgery are coming do.

The Mimsy Farmer remark was funny. Her biggest hit probably was "Hot Rods to Hell".

Like a lot of hasbeens, Stevens did a lot of dinner theater and then she had her cosmetics line.

How did she lose her home in bankruptcy? Your home is suppose to be protected, isn't it.

I don't know when she made millions...I didn't see her work that much...was her manager ripping her off?

[quote]They sure don't make movie trailers like this anymore....

They knew how to make even the most routine pictures look fresh and exciting. Trailers today seem rote and aimed at the ever-declining Lowest Common Denominator.

R84, it depends on which state you live in. In my state you are only allowed $150,000 equity in your home.

According to that Variety article, she had as many as 6 homes at one point (counting the duplex in Pasadena as 2). How could she be homeless now? She went from 6 homes to 0?

[R43] Why waste the bullets? They're both already dead from the neck up.

In Rona Barrett's hilariously tacky memoir "Miss Rona", she talks about the relationship Connie Stevens had with Eddie Fisher. It went something like thing: Connie was pregnant with Eddie's baby, but they weren't married. Lots of rumors circulated, that they were secretly married, that the baby wasn't his, etc. After she gave birth the rumors were that she was going to be kicked to the curb and "re-located." Fisher, who was in "talks" with Kim Novak about starring with him in some property that he'd bought while married to Elizabeth Taylor said to Barrett " why don't you report on tv my secret meetings with Kim for OFF the screen reasons." Rona asked what about Connie and he said "I couldn't care less about her! She's a bore. I can't stand her friends, either. She drives me crazy, but she's the best fuck I ever had!" Barrett said he "went into detail then" but she doesn't report the juicy details. And she called herself a gossip columnist! Anyway, she reported his meetings with Kim Novak, which made Connie "up on arms" because Eddie had told her SHE was the one who was going to star in his film project. Eventually Eddie Fisher and Connie Stevens DID marry...after the birth of their second baby. All these shenanigans were considered pretty hot stuff back in those days. At any rate, I never considered Connie Stevens to be a big star. I saw a couple of movies where her in it and she was a godawful actress.

who!?

I thought that house was bought in the 60's from Sonja Hennie and it was haunted. Seriously. She bought that house for like $65K 50 years ago - I think she's fine. But the haunting was on a TV show - Joely FIsher talked about it too.

no link

I'll bet I'm the only one on here who actually saw the original national tour of Star Spangled Girl when it played Boston with George Hamilton, Jimmy "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause" Boyd and Deana Martin, Dean's daughter, in the cast.

Connie starred in a then controversial ABC Movie of the Week, "The Sex Symbol", in which she played a thinly veiled version of Marilyn Monroe. Controversial because there was a nude scene that was edited for the USA but shown in Europe.

forever spring looks like a cheap assed product loved by poor white trash.

Connie was so fuckable in her younger years. However she now makes the late Joan Rivers look like a supermodel in comparison. It must be all the muff diving she does.

Connie's boudoir.

why isn't her daughter Stella helping her out?

I would LOVE to see this crap-fest!

On Hollywood Squares Joan Rivers was asked:

"FInish this quote: I wish I had a nickel for....."

JOAN: "......every stitch in Connie Stevens' body."

Connie was also on the panel, and she did NOT look amused.

r100 You'd be a lot richer for every stitch in Joan Rivers' body in the long run.

[quote]They sure don't make movie trailers like this anymore....

You mean ones that give the audience the whole story for free?

I just saw Mimsy Farmer on a "Donna Reed Show" episode during this weekend's Decades binge.

Mimsy in her signature role in HOT RODS TO HELL.

[quote]She was a bigger name than Mimsy Farmer and Kathy Garver combined ” a friend told The ENQUIRER.

This is going to replace "she really WAS dinner theater in southwest Indiana" for me, to convey how big a star someone is.

Was Miss Farmer credited with quotes around her first name

[quote]This weekend is a Donna Reed binge on the Decades channel.

Oh how I yearned as a gayling to have soothing, beatific Donna Reed as a mom instead of the shrill judgmental harridan I ended up with! (Sobs.)

But let's get back to scary looking Connie Stevens, shall we?

Forget to sign my post "Lucie".

Has Connie written a biography yet ? If not, she should write one that is a real dishy tell all ....

Has anyone seen Connie in Two on a Guillotine, co-starring Dean Jones and Cesar Romero? It's quite a hoot.

Loved reading John Waters' books. In one, he described 'Susan Slade', the Connie Stevens campfest where her character is caught in a fire and leaves her newborn baby behind in her escape. Waters described how they cut to a scene of the crib where a baby doll was on fire melting.

Didn't believe it, but tracked down a VHS copy on Ebay (I know, I know ....double eldergay) .... and it was true. So funny.

Never heard of her. Who is she?

Back in the late 70s there was a UHF TV station broadcasting out of Lorain, Ohio that showed movies every weeknight at 9. I remember seeing "Susan Slade", "Parrish", "Queen Bee" and "Autumn Leaves" all in ONE fabulous week! The programming director HAD to be gay to schedule that lineup!

My dad heard me laughing so hard he came to my room and asked what was so hilarious and we wound up watching the second half of "Susan Slade " together. For a straight guy he totally got camp. Our other memorable viewing together was "Duel in the Sun".

[quote]Has anyone seen Connie in Two on a Guillotine

I was just wondering how this thread had gone for so long with no mention of that movie (which, BTW, scared the shit out of me when I was a kid).

Turns out there's a DVD and it gets pretty good ratings on Amazon.

Wow, Mimsy was pretty hot in R104.

Just for you, r99.

Since we're all about "Grease" today, let's not forget that Edd "Kookie" Byrnes (see R15) played Vince Fontaine in the movie version.

Scorchy looks like a real gem!!

In SCORCHY she looks like a 35 year old suburban mom attempting to tackle an action film.

[quote]Here's Connie 'undercover' as narcotics agent Jackie Parker ..... "She's already been beaten, slapped around, run 3 miles in high high heels and made love to four men.....and the night IS JUST BEGINNING !!!"

She's looking more & more like the illegitimate daughter of GINGER ROGERS as she ages.

She must have been constantly confused with Connie Francis back in the day.

R121 They looked nothing alike. One was blonde; the other brunette.

Connie Francis was raped by a black man. Connie Stevens likes getting it from black men.

I always got Connie Haines and Connie Hines mixed up.

I always got Connie Stevens and Connie Lingus mixed up.

She seems a bit "special"

Bitches, all of them!

Hey -- is this a Connie reunion thread?

Joely Fisher had a series called Til Death that I really enjoyed. She does musical theater - she was in Cabaret on Broadway. She can sing like nobody's business.

[quote] She could have invested it better than she did.

There aren't that many better investments than buying and holding Holmby Hills real estate.

R99 who is that whore from years past...many years past LOL

SCORCHY just misses being a camp classic. It's not nearly as over-the-top as you want it to be.

from THE SEX SYMBOL ........

CONNIE as MARiLYN MONROE

Stevens' single Sixteen Reasons was a big hit in the USA and UK in the 1960s.

Forty years later Sixteen Reasons was prominently showcased in David Lynch's 2001 film Mulholland Drive with actress Elizabeth Lackey whose character lip-syncs to the Connie Stevens track.

I was under the impression that Mimsy Farmer was originally cast in the role of SCORCHY.

I remember watching her in THE SEX SYMBOL as a kid . My Dad and Uncle were watching and found Miss Connie quite appealing . My Dad asked my Uncle, "how would you like to put one in your ear and one in your mouth and play telephone?" As funny as I found it and still do, I wanted to crawl under the couch.

DL must be slipping. All these posts and no mention of her most famous role?

I liked Stella Stevens and Inger Stevens better.

Rumors of an affair between Connie and Arizona Senator John McCain have circulated for years. Surely, he could dip into his allowance from wife Cindy to pass on to her.

Inger Stevens had a life that is more convent ially sad and a bit transgressive for its time (secret Black husband), but she was a decent if not exceptional actress. Connie was perky and survived but I'd guess her personal life (a pedophile and past his prime Eddie Fisher as husbands, ecch!) life was equally messy and she was a barely competent singer and a pretty incompetent actress.

Inger's husband was so secret that after her death even he couldn't produce a document showing proof of marriage.

R137

I'm with you baby !!

[quote]Here's a clip of STELLA & DEAN MARTIN from 1966.

As they say in this article, Connie Stevens now looks like Connie Wildenstein. If you Google, you can find even more photos of her ghastly face. WTF? Debbie Reynolds looks 30 years younger - she must have really enjoyed watching Connie turn into a hideous freak.

This really is an almost perfect DL thread.

And to think all this time I thought Connie was a brilliant business woman due to her Forever Spring millions. La Femme, Really? Though they did make some great long lasting tacky feel lip gloss I would kill to find now.

Scorchy--she'll give you a scorchy case of herpes!

I don't think Connie looks thaaat bad. I want to say about Palm Springs Weekend, why did Tina Cole have a visible role AND lines and didn't even get a credit? I mean not even "hostess of party".

Tina was part of Hollywood Royalty - the King Family. She didn't need a credit.

I bought Tricia Lee Fischer's 1990 CD.

I'd do her.

So, Connie stole Eddie Fisher from Debbie after Liz stole him first, or what?

Did Debbie and Carrie hate Connie? (gosh, every name in this story has an "ie" at the end..) Did they interact with her much?

I remember a tv movie that had Debbie and Connie in it, in the 70's - and they seemed to get along fine.

That Sex Symbol clip was hilarious.

I'd love that Henie mansion but it needs serious rehab. A total money pit. I'd feel like Neely O'Hara getting smashed by that pool.

First that bitch Suzanne Somers took her Ace Hardware commercials now this.

Connie is sometimes down but never out. This article was just written in October of this year.

R149 Eddie left Debbie for Liz who in turn left Eddie for Richard. I doubt Debbie and Carrie cared about Connie one way or another.

r154 Debbie had nothing but praise for Connie and the way she raised her daughters in her biography, "Debbie: My Life."

R155 did they even know each other? Hollywood is a small town. So maybe .

Nothing was softer and sweeter than her playing Personality with Marty Allen. Carousel is big in vogue now, and when Carrie says "Say something soft and sweet," instead of "Boston cream pie," Mr. Snow should have said, "Playing Personality with Connie Stevens." And so it goes…...

[quote]did they even know each other? Hollywood is a small town. So maybe .

Why would they not know each other? Their children were all half-siblings.

Can't she move into Debbie's house?

Mimsy Farmer was also in SPENCER'S MOUNTAIN as James MacArthur's love interest. Kathy Garver was on FAMILY AFFAIR as Cissy.

R156 Debbie would babysit Connies kids. The two ex wives were close. Debbie and Liz became friends again. I don't think she became friends with Eddie.

I loved all those show biz, Vegas, sex kitten babes and broads from the 1960s...Connie Stevens, Joey Heatherton, Raquel Welch, Ann-Margret (although Raquel is pretty good actress, and A-M is a great actress). They performed at places like the Sands and the Flamingo, hung out with the Rat Pack and were exciting additions to the glitz and glamour landscape . What's not to love?! They had personality and pizzazz. Those were the days. The B- and C-list of today doesn't hold a candle. Those broads could be guests on a talk show and entertain simply by the chatter and presence. They were show biz, and it was oh so glamorous. The B- and C-list wanna-bees of today don't hold a candle to the girls of the yesteryear.

Debbie Reynolds was very friendly with Connie Stevens. In the mid- to late-1990s when Debbie would take some time off from performing at her Vegas hotel, "Debbie Reynolds' Hollywood," she would call up her old-time show business pals, Connie prominent among them, who often performed for the Vegas visitors. Mel Tillis and Don Rickles were also among Debbie's fellow performer friends.

Scorchy?

I honestly thought she died.

Eddie Fisher said she was the best fuck he ever had. Considering he fucked (or claimed to have fucked) just about everybody, that's really saying something.

To piss off Sinatra, Mia Farrow planned to elope with Eddie Fisher. Roddy McDowall stopped them at the last minute. Connie was so upset she cut off all her hair like Mia but appeared in public with frosted blonde wigs that became her signature look.

R18, "Kookie, Kookie, lend me your comb" became a catchphrase for a generation!

She was a homewrecker. Mom was all set to get back with dad, till SHE came along.

Ingers Stevens had a tragic life. Some really horrific events.....unfortunately she tried to straighten herself out with the same quack psychiatrist that did Marilyn in, Dr Ralph Greenson. There is a biography about Inger and it hints that she didn't kill herself, but somebody was in her house at the time of her death and forced her overdose..........(this is Inger I'm talking about, not Marilyn.) Some people jumped to the conclusion, Burt Reynolds, boyfriend at the time as the culpret, but my guess was the very very hunky black husband who was rumored to be a real ass and had a volatile on and off relationship with Inger. At her autopsy it was determined she had had sex right before supposedly killing herself, as there was a diaphram still in place that had just been used, if you get my drift....who does that if they are going to off themselves? Why worry about getting preggers? Also, her assets/ estate disappeared completely and the estate never went thru probate..... and most of it was in the husbands name.... .......... there was a lot of $ involved and Stevens had told the hubby recently she wanted a divorce.......interesting case, you do the math. The LA cops did zero investigation. PS, Connie Stevens is in her 80 s for god sake......that is what being in your 80 s looks like folks, my mom is the same age.

What resurrected this?

Why did anyone think she was homeless? She had extensive properties worth quite a bit. Properties cost a lot to maintain and she probably just couldn't keep up all the costs and taxes etc. But I am sure she made out like a bandit when she sold them. She bought the Henie house for $350,000. I doubt any lender gave her a huge second mortgage on it. Plus the article said she gifted her daughter, Joely, one of houses.

As a child it was a treat for me to be allowed to stay up on Wednesday nights to watch Hawaiian Eye from 9 - 10 cause I liked Robert Conrad and the whole Hawaiian theme going on. It all seemed rather magical. With that pool in the middle of the hotel and their offices surrounding it. Super cool.

Connie does not look as crazy as that Wildenstein creature. No way. I remember how scandalous the Connie Stevens-Eddie Fisher thing was back in the day.

And, for the record, Joely Fisher was the best thing in Ellen. Funny and talented. Some of the Ellen seasons were very funny once it found its footing. And before it became too preachy.
