Connie Stevens – 1938

Through her stellar appearance in the television series Hawaiian Eye, Connie Stevens proved her acting prowess time and over again. Born as Concetta Rosalie Ann Ingolia, Stevens had survived a relatively difficult childhood. After her parents’ separation, she was taken in by her grandmother, who, unfortunately, passed before she even reached her teenage years. It is also worth noting that Stevens, at 12 years old, had already witnessed something unthinkable that deeply scarred her for life. However, her bravery cannot be overstated; she moved on and started a singing group called The Foremost.

With her outstanding singing skills, Stevens eventually penetrated Hollywood and was cast in the film titled Rock-a-Bye Baby. After taking a step back from the industry, she made investments in cosmetics and launched her own skin-care brand.
