# | Fact |
---|
1 | According to a TV Guide article published during her role on The Greatest American Hero (1981), she was fond of playing bizarre practical jokes, usually involving faking her own suicide or death. Reportedly, then-husband Gil Gerard, got so used to coming home and finding her lying in a pool of fake blood, he developed a critiquing system for her. |
2 | Best remembered by the public for her role as Christine Francis on Hotel (1983). |
3 | Auditioned for the titular lead in Galaxina (1980) and was seriously considered by the filmmakers as an ideal choice to portray the role. 1979 "Playboy" Playmate of the Year Dorothy Stratten ultimately got the part in the long run. |
4 | Friend of Teri Garr. |
5 | Prior to her second marriage to John Tesh, they had a traditional courtship, no sex or living together until their wedding night and dated seriously for 2 years. |
6 | When she first met her future husband John Tesh, he had never watched her TV series Hotel (1983), but he had seen every single episode of The Greatest American Hero (1981). |
7 | Former lingerie and fashion model. |
8 | She has two children: son, Gib Gerard, with ex-husband, Gil Gerard, of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (1979) fame; and daughter, Prima Tesh, with husband John Tesh, composer and former co-host of Entertainment Tonight (1981). Prima, who was born in 1994, was named for Connie's late father, Primo Sellecchia. She's of Italian origin. |
