"Keep Growing Strong" is a song written by Thom Bell and Linda Creed that was originally recorded by Connie Stevens on the Bell Records label in 1970. The composition later scored a hit when it was released by the Philadelphia soul group The Stylistics in 1972 under its better known title, "Betcha By Golly, Wow".[1]

She always had teeny tiny eyes. Now she looks like she's squinting and missing her eyeglasses.

R36 you can many times just cut & paste the link for the image from the side panel on the new Google image search. But at times that link won't work and you have to go directly to the site hosting the image and C&P it from there. A few times I've even had to save the image to my hard drive and host it on Imgur in order to get it posted here.

It's odd to watch age accelerate. Some of these people just 10 years ago looked great.

I was playing around with google images to try to figure out the new format. I hated it at first but now I'm getting used to it. Meanwhile, look at this gorgeous flower I found while I was experimenting.

It's as fresh and pretty as Connie Stevens used to be. I remember when she was married to Eddie Fisher, he said she was his favorite wife. He was creepy. I don't mind that she looks like an apple doll now, I suppose she's enjoying her elder years, spending time with her descendants and free of Mr. Fisher.

I saw Connie at a cabaret in Studio City a couple of months ago. I was one table over from her. Anyway, she looked pretty good, a lot closer to the way she appears in that talk show than in OP’s awful picture. She was definitely holding court at her table (about eight people). She did not seem stroke-addled at all.

She was there because her daughter Tricia was one of the singers that night. Aa@

by Anonymousreply 72August 16, 2019 10:30 AM

I think that when very elderly people have youthful hair/makeup styles it makes them look worse because it confuses us. Our brains see visual triggers of youth (long, flowing hair/full lips, thick dark hair on men etc) and can’t quite compute the signs or youth + signs of aging so we think “yikes”. With an age appropriate hair style Connie would look like an attractive older women. Dyan Canon is another one with the long blonde hair who would look much better with a new do and a ten pound weight gain. I saw her coming out of Equinox on Sunset once and it took my brain a few seconds to process what I was seeing. Elderly men with dark rugs and blinding white caps have the same effect. I want to giggle.

A friend waited on Connie and DL faves Suzanne Pleshette and Nancy Sinatra once. He said they were having a mock fight over who had the worst first husband and he beat them with the story of the girl he married at 19 back in Tennessee who tried to smother him in his sleep. They left a $50 tip. This was circa 1992.

What on EARTH did women see in Eddie Fisher? He wasn't that good looking. Was it his singing voice that got them wet? Anyway, legend has it that he fucked just about everybody. But in Rona Barrett's autobiography (she had quite a history with him, but was not one of his lovers) she claimed that although he really didn't like Connie (he didn't like her mother and father and her "goombah" friends either), she was, according to him, "the best fuck I ever had!" Seeing as how he fucked everybody, that's really saying something.

"Susan Slade" is on TCM--schmaltzy dialogue! Dumb plot! Natalie Schaefer as the elegant wife! Troy Donahue not acting! Can't wait to see the burning baby.

And next is "A Summer Place" where the plot is advanced by Max Steiner's occasional crescendo so that we know Troy Donahue and Sandra Dee will deliver a key line like "Johnny let's not be bad" with no acting ability at all. Love Constance Ford as the frigid lesbian and Beulah Bondi as the old lady with the great lines.
