The Connie Francis Story is an American story. Born into a blue-collar Italian family at the end of the Great Depression, the extraordinary journey of her life saw her experience the highest of peaks and the deepest of valleys - the stuff of both dreams and nightmares. Through her eyes, readers have a front row seat to many of the greatest public and private moments in American history and popular culture. Visiting American Bandstand, the Copacabana, Las Vegas and the Ed Sullivan Show, all at their respective heights, readers will experience the unparalleled achievements in her glorious career. Conquering wildly-enthusiastic audiences throughout the world, Connie's international celebrity, which allowed her to rub elbows with presidents, royalty, the top echelon of the Mob, and every iconic showbiz figure of the era, is one unrivaled by any recording artist to this very day. She is, in fact, the best-selling female artist in history, recording in 12 different languages. She shares with unusual candor the juxtaposition that existed in her personal life. While the love affair with her audience was exhilarating and truly gratifying, fulfilling romantic relationships in her personal life always eluded her...with the exception of her one true love, Bobby Darin - a love destroyed by her domineering father, with whom she had a complicated and often troubling relationship. Though the undisputed architect of her unrivaled career, he was also the source of her greatest personal anguish. Her willingness to expose the most private aspects of her life with extraordinary honesty and often painful reflection is both startling and courageous. She also experienced an endless series of life-altering tragedies. A horrifying rape, the murder of her beloved brother, Georgie, at the hands of the Mafia, four failed and despairing marriages... All are chronicled with unstinting candor, a deep sense of resentment, and even under the most terrifying and unimaginable set of circumstances, her very rare sense of humor shines through. It is truly a joyful, comedic and emotionally disturbing book to read. Far more horrifying than any best-selling writer of fiction would dare to contemplate.
