Connie Stevens leaves Craig’s Restaurant
Connie Stevens is facing complete desperation! The perky beauty — best known for playing Cricket Blake on the ’60s series “Hawaiian Eye” — has lost her last home to bankruptcy, according to court papers obtained by The National ENQUIRER. “It’s hard to believe Connie was once one of the wealthiest women in showbiz — and now has nothing!” a friend told The ENQUIRER. “Connie grew up poor, and like many people from disadvantaged backgrounds, when she became successful she splurged on herself. “She made millions, but she spent millions, too!”

Connie, 77, built a $50 million fortune selling her skin care line, Forever Spring, on HSN in the ’90s. “But after the economic downturn took a toll on the line, she overextended herself,” said the source. Sadly, she’s been forced to dump her beloved mansion in Holmby Hills, Calif., for $17 million as part of a bankruptcy proceeding. Court documents show Connie still owes more than $8 million on the property.
Eddie Fisher and Connie Stevens
When her ex-husband Eddie Fisher (pictured with his then-bride) filed for bankruptcy in 1970, Connie stepped in to take control. She had also been generous to her daughters with Eddie — Joely, 48, and Tricia, 47. But in the past few years, she’s dumped a slew of real estate, including a $6.8 million log cabin in Wyoming, and a $7 million spread in New York City. Added the source: “It’s a real Hollywood tragedy that Connie is down and out!”
