by EUNICE FIELD What with illnesses, accidents, her Warner Bros, feuding and the death of her beloved pooch, Connie Stevens would just as soon wipe 1962 off her slate. To cap the pile-up of bad breaks, her "big romance," Gary Clarke, recently forgot to close the door of her convertible. A truck came by and side-swiped the new car. But Connie is still keeping her sunny side up. "One bright spot in 1962," she smiled, "was my dad's success in talent managing. He just signed Eric Matthews, twenty-two and six-feet-two, and when I met him, all I could do was stare and the fast-starting new series have scheduled six shows without guest stars to concentrate on the brotherly theme. . . . Night clubs coast to coast are willing to wait for a 1964 booking, so great is the demand for George Maharis now that his records have hit the heights. . . . Lazy Tommy Kirk is hung up on California's latest fad, body surfing. Says Tommy, "You ride the waves, but with nothing under you but yourself. It's the only sport in which I can remain in my favorite position— horizontal."

In a scene for Disney's "Summer Magic," he had to drive an injured Burl Ives away. The director pointed to the pickup truck circa 1909 and told Eddie, "Drive right, just miss that tree, and then off the set." So Eddie, aiming to "just miss" the tree, stopped every heart on set by just missing it by three inches at fifty miles per. . . . Newsome twosomes: Johnny Crawford and Lori Martin, Bad breaks: Gary Clarke and Connie. Wedding : Chuck Connors and Kamala. say 'Man, like wow!' " Watch for Eric! Sign at Revue calls "It's a Man's World" the "BBBC." Reason? In honor of stars Ted Bessell, Randy Boone, Mike Burns and Glenn Corbett. An English visitor thought there must be some link with the BBC of England "until they opened their mouths and then I knew they weren't from Blighty. But after viewing them on the set," she added, "I'm convinced BBBC stands for Big, Beautiful Bachelor Corps." . . . Earl Holliman and Andy Prine so good as "brothers" on the preem of "Wide Country," the producers of about ex-girl Kathy Nolan's engagement to Richard Heckenkamp, actor's agent? . . . They say a yell can cause a landslide, and Radio Station KM PC nearly started one when they announced on their "daily bundle" that Mr. and Mrs. Richard Chamberlain were parents of a newborn girl. It took four deejays a week to abate the wires, phone calls and letters, asking if it was "our Dr. Kildare." Apologetic answer: No! . . . Bob Marcucci signed three more to his stable of singers: Dean Randolph, 16; Mark Valentino, 20; and Rod Lauren, 24. Same Tommy Kirk and Annette Funicello. . . . For her show, Lucy has been rounding up the most attractive men in town, like Dick Rowan of Rowan and Martin, Frank Aletter of the old "Bringing Up Buddy," Del Moore, Chris Warfield and William Windom. . . . One of TV's most gifted producers, Bob Herridge, slated for "The Fighters," new weekly series dealing with great Americans of integrity. Dateline: 1963. Chuck Connors and Indian beauty Kamala Devi have set the date for February. It's a case of East meets
