She might be dead to us soon.

Too many tasteless references to her body of work to link. Very talented.

Prayers for Connie. She's a legend.

I remember Sammy Davis Jr. being interviewed on one of those ubiquitous talk show in the 80s. He was asked about Connie and he paused and did a quick sigh/exhale thing and said, “Connie has problems.”

It was fuckin’ hilarious.

Like Sammy didn’t?

Comparatively? No.

Unfortunately, at 87 when one is bed bound due to fractures or joint issues, pneumonia and sepsis set in extremely easily not to mention heart issues.

Good.. she hated Dorothy Kilgallen.

>>>>>>>Unfortunately, at 87 when one is bed bound due to fractures or joint issues, pneumonia and sepsis set in extremely easily not to mention heart issues.

So you’re saying she still has a chance?

She was in the first movie I ever remember seeing, at a Saturday matinee at the movie house in the old home town. (Where the Boys Meet the Girls. A sort of remake of Girl Crazy.) I was 6.

Keep reachin’ for the stars, R8.

It's too late, she's gone too far, she's lost the sun, she's come undone.

R8 it’s possible she can bounce back this one time if they caught whatever it is early enough, but the body is trying to shut down. Death will probably be inevitable within a year based on her age and comorbididities.

Her career died at a Holiday Inn.

Guess who r11 is pretending to be

I had no idea she was still alive.

She was just in the news for some newfound appreciation on TikTok for one of her songs.

R16. That and the Bobby Darrin musical on Broadway.

According to a FB post Connie has been moved to a private room. She ain't down yet!!!!

That was Debbie Reynolds

It was originally Tammy Grimes. But after Debbie it was Kathy Bates.

Damn it - I know it is in poor taste - but I can hear the music SWELLL- “WHO’S SORRY NOW????”

I couldn't do it r21

R#22 - Cue the music - “I’M SORRYYYYY!! So SORRRYY!!🎼🎤”

[Quote] According to a FB post Connie has been moved to a private room.

Yes and I can guess why.

When are they gonna make the bio movie starring Dianne Wiest?

I just saw her on TikTok the other day mispronouncing Timothy Chalamet’s name.

She's been dead to me since November 28, 1965.

R26 is trying to scare half of America!

Hang in there Connie! The disco version of "Where The Boys Are" will forever be on my gym playlist!! Right after "Work That Body" by Diana Ross and before "Cruising the Streets" by Cynthia Manley!

I keep forgetting she’s still alive.

It was a Howard Johnson's.

DARIN

Connie and Dionne Warwick toured together recently. Dionne says in this interview that her cousin is Leontyne Price. Her other cousin was Whitney Houston.

And her sister was a lesbian child molester.

You know she will have a marvelous stupendous Catholic funeral attended by the New Jersey "families"

R34 I don’t know about that. I remember in the 80s when her brother George Franconero was killed by mob hitmen in the driveway of his North Caldwell NJ home (setting of The Sopranos for a reason).

I’ve posted before, Connie grew up with my mother and aunt in Newark. She was very good friends with my aunt. They both always spoke very highly of her.

Last I knew she was living very quietly in Essex Fells NJ. I had no idea she was still working.

She hasn’t had an easy life, that’s for sure.

Thanks for your thread, ghoul OP.

Where The Graves Are

Someone Waits For Me

Sam, Jack and I are waiting!

She’s pretty active on social media and said she’s doing better. She’s not bed ridden, she’s using a wheelchair because of her hip pain but she seems to lobe a pretty active life.

Don't tell that to OP, R39--he's already wishing her into the grave.

IDK why lobe popped up instead of have.

It’s criminal that Connie isn’t in the rock and roll hall of fame.

Connie refuses to die before Frankie Valli.

R33 Oh, those poor lesbian children!

[quote]I don’t know about that. I remember in the 80s when her brother George Franconero was killed by mob hitmen in the driveway of his North Caldwell NJ home (setting of The Sopranos for a reason).

On one of her old shows, Martha Stewart mentioned that she once dated Connie Francis' brother.

Jesus—/that Goldfinger cover is so, so bad. Ed Sullivan’s show really knew how to suck the life out of pop culture.
