Connie Francis

(born 1938) Born Concetta Rosa Maria Franconero, this darkhaired, upbeat singer became a favorite among early 1960s youth. Her hits “Who’s Sorry Now?” (1958) and “Where the Boys Are” (1960) revealed a desirous but bubbly femininity. She became a film star with the rise of 1960s teenage/beach films, and appeared in Where the Boys Are (1960), Follow the Boys (1963) and Looking for Love (1965). She won a $3 million suit in 1974 against a motel in one of whose rooms she had been raped; the highly publicized episode left her emotionally scarred and she put aside her career until 1993.
