Must SeeTop 10 Florida Condos For SalePert and glamorous Connie Stevens is almost as gorgeous today at age 74 as she was when teenage boys and grown men swooned over her teen-oriented films of the 1950s and 60s and her starring role in the hit ABC-TV series "Hawaiian Eye" with Robert Conrad. Later known as the third wife of singer Eddie Fisher, following Debbie Reynolds and Elizabeth Taylor, Connie’s many artistic talents and business acumen have taken her through the tough times of raising her and Eddie’s two children with little help from her husband to the good times as a cosmetic company mogul and owner of the Connie Stevens Garden Sanctuary Day Spa in Los Angeles. She also wrote, produced and directed "Saving Grace B. Jones", which starred Tatum O’Neal in 2009.
Connie’s singing was filled with perky personality that flowed naturally and lead her into film, TV and to Bob Hope’s many USO troop tours. She has earned a number of humanitarian awards from Shriners Hospital and Sons of Italy among others and has a star on three different Walks of Fame. This year she was awarded the Founder’s Medal for Patriotism for over 40 years of work with the USO by the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution. At age 74, Connie is still a stunning beauty, likely still envied by women much her junior.
Connie has started to downsize her real estate holdings. After all, how can one person live in three places? With homes in Palm Springs and Las Vegas, she has decided to sell her enviable two-acre Holmby Hills compound in the middle of one of Los Angeles’ choicest neighborhoods.
The gracious Paul Williams-designed main house was built in 1939 as a brick center hall Colonial. Along with the two one bedroom guest houses, a chauffeur's apartment and a separate recording studio, the estate measures 12,000 square feet.

Grounds include an Olympic-sized pool, pool house, north-south tennis court with viewing deck, fountains, rose garden, gazebo and spa. There is an attached three car garage and carports for up to eight more cars. Dee Crawford of Keller Williams in Beverly Hills and Jeeb O'Reilly of The Agency in Beverly Hills share the listing.
