BEAU Gary Clark escorts Connie on a tour of Disneyland. He is leading man in her private life.
Five of her own and five adopted ones
will satisfy the bright new star of "Hawaiian Eye"
any time she decides to marry
By HELEN LOUISE WALKER
TThIS IS THE strawberry blonde . . . the one with the dimples and the creamy skin . . . who is embellishing the "Hawaiian Eye" TV series these nights . . . the one with the cute hats. You are hearing her and loving her on records, too. This girl can sing.
She is beautiful, she is in love ("well, sort of," she says), she is one of the most luscious things Hollywood has seen in a long while.
She admits that she has dated most of the eligible men in Hollywood . . . "but for two years Gary Clark (a personable freelance actor) has been the one I have wanted to see on weekends. We have relaxed times then. We ride or picnic or sit in the house and listen to music. Or we talk. Oh, we talk a lot.
"I'm not quite sure whether you call this 'serious' or not. But we do like one another. We have fun together."
Does she have marriage on her mind? Connie is a Catholic and takes her religion and marriage seriously. "I wouldn't marry unless I thought I could make it stick," she says, solemnly. "I've seen so much in Hollywood . . ." She means it, even though at 21 some of her friends are beginning to needle her on her single state. That's not bothering Connie. She is making up her own mind. Besides, she has a flourishing career.
Only five years ago she waited two hours outside New York's Paramount Theater, hoping to get Jerry Lewis's autograph. The crowd was so great that she didn't get it. Two year? later, she found herself Jerry's leading lady in "Rock-a-bye Baby".
This little charmer, whose real name is Concetta Ann Ingolia, was born in Brooklyn. N.Y., on August 8, 1938, and is of Italian-Irish extraction. When she was 15, her parents separated and she came to Hollywood with her father, a musician and night club entertainer known professionally as Teddy Stevens. Connie did some odd jobs in show business, TV commercials, bit parts in pictures and so on, and then she learned that girls were being interviewed for the Jerry Lewis picture. Lots of girls. Some of them fabulous and famous like Debbie Reynolds, some of them quite as unknown as she was, herself. A lead in a Lewis picture is always much sought-after. She wangled an interview.
