Connie Stevens Net Worth $60 Million
Connie was born to musician Peter Ingoglia – professional name Teddy Stevens – and singer Eleanor McGinely, later adopting her father’s artistic last name. She grew up with her grandparents, since her parents were divorced, and attended a Catholic boarding school. However, after being witness to a murder, she was moved to live with relatives in Boonville, Missouri when she was twelve. As both of her parents were musicians, she developed an early interest in music and joined a group called “The Fourmost” as a teenager. Later she moved to Los Angeles with her father, and joined “The Three Debs” singing group, which encouraged her to enroll in The Georgia Massey Professional School in the San Fernando Valley, and continue to sing professionally, steadily building her net worth.
Her interest in acting also developed, and she started working occasionally as a stand-in in movies, which led to Jerry Lewis noticing her and giving her one of the main roles in his 1958 comedy film “Rock–A-Bye Baby”, soon after which she signed a contract with Warner Brothers. Connie also portrayed the role of Cricket Blake in the popular TV series “Hawaiian Eye”, and this was the role that made her truly famous. Other notable roles she played were in the TV series “Maverick”, “77 Sunset Strip” and “Wendy and Me”, but also in movies including “Never Too Late” (1965), “The Grissom Gang” (1971), “Scorchy”(1976), “Grease 2” (1982) and many others. All contributed steadily to her net worth.
When it comes to her singing career, Stevens released her first album “Concetta” in 1958, which brought a couple of minor hits. However, the next year, after appearing in “77 Sunset Strip”, she recorded the hit song “Kookie, Kookie, Lend Me Your Comb” that reached no.4 on the Billboard Hot 100. Her next big hit came in 1960 with the release of “Sixteen Reasons” which reached no.3 on the same list. During the ‘70s she started singing the theme song for Ace Hardware TV commercials. Connie subsequently released a total of eight studio albums.
Her career was quiet for several years, busy raising her daughters, but with them she released the album “Tradition: A Family Christmas” in 1994, and continued to make occasional nightclub appearances, including in Las Vegas. She made her directing debut in 1997 with the documentary “A Healing” which portrayed Red Cross nurses during the Vietnam War, and which she also wrote.
More recently, in 2009 Connie’s feature directorial debut “Saving Grace B. Jones” was released, plus she appeared in “Just Before I Go” in 2014, and “Search Engines” in 2016.
Connie Stevens has Stars on three Walks of Fame – in Hollywood, Palm Springs and the so-called Italian version in Toronto, Canada.
Aside from entertainment, Stevens has developed and marketed Forever Spring – her own skin care product – and opened the Connie Stevens Garden Sanctuary Day Spa in Los Angeles in the 1990s, which have contributed somewhat to her net worth.
When it comes to her private life, Connie has been married twice, firstly to actor James Stacy which lasted for four years until their divorce in 1967. Her second was to singer Eddie Fisher who she married later that year, but divorced only two years later; this produced two daughters, actresses Joely Fisher and Tricia Leigh Fisher.
Connie Stevens is also known for her charitable works. She founded the Windfeather project which awards scholarships to Native Americans, and is a supporter of people battling with cancer. In 1991 she received the Lady of Humanities Award and the Humanitarian of the Year Award.
Connie Stevens now resides in Studio City in the San Fernando Valley, California.

Stacey Dash Net Worth $10 Million
Stacy Dash made her debut in 1982 when she appeared in “Farrell for the People” alongside Ed O‘Neill. Then followed such famous shows as “The Cosby Show“, “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” and “TV 101“. Her movie career started with the Richard Pryor film “Moving” (1988). The 80‘s were actually a really successful period for the young actress, since her other two movies, “Mo’ Money” and “Renaissance Man”, were also big hits. Her real big break, however, was in 1995 when she appeared in Amy Heckerling’s “Clueless” as Dionne Marie Davenport. The comedy, which was based on Jane Austen‘s novel “Emma”, was very well received and grossed $55 million, thus increasing Dash’s net worth considerably. The film also made her and fellow actresses Brittany Murphy and Alicia Silverstone true international stars, probably more so as it was soon made into TV series and Dash reprised her role as Dionne. The series ran from 1996 till 1999, and also featured actress and singer Cher. During that period, Stacy also appeared in films like the crime drama “Cold Around the Heart” (1997) and comedy “Personals” (1999). Naturally all of these appearances enhanced Stacy’s net worth.
Stacey Dash is also known for her appearances in music videos. In 2001 she was a part of the music video for the Carl Thomas song “Emotional”, and in 2004 she appeared alongside Kanye West in the music video for his single “All Falls Down.” At the same time Dash continued to have a successful film career with movies “American Primitive”, “I Could Never Be Your Woman”, “Nora’s Hair Salon II”, “Ghost Image” and “Fashion Victim”. She did not, however, forget television and appeared in the series “Single Ladies” in the role of Valerie Stokes but, unfortunately, she did not return for the second season. She was also a part of the reality TV show “Celebrity Circus”, in which celebrities had to perform circus tricks. Dash was one of the finalists, finishing second after Antonio Sabato, Jr. In addition, she also had guest roles in “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” and “The Game”. All these roles in movies and TV shows helped to increase her overall net worth.
Besides her acting career, Stacey Dash also has her own lingerie line “Letters of Marque” and posed for Playboy in 2006.
In her personal life, Stacy Dash was first married to Brian Lovell(1999-2000), and then James Maby(2005-06).
