Connie Stevens, 83 -$50 Million
Most film stars who identify as musicians will mostly apply themselves to acting and overlook music. Yet, Connie Stevens isn’t that person, as she found that balance quite early in her career. The American actress and singer made her feature film debut in ‘Young and Dangerous’ and the following year released her debut album, ‘Concetta.’
Her portrayal of “Cricket” Blake in ‘Hawaiian Eye’ saw Stevens gain more popularity, which coincided with the star’s musical success thanks to her single ‘Sixteen Reasons.’ While we haven’t heard of any new music from her lately, Sevens’ latest film appearance was in 2019’s ‘By the Rivers of Babylon,’ where she played Meredith.
