She began her career in 1957, making her feature film debut in ''Young and Dangerous'', before releasing her debut album, ''Concetta'', the following year. She had a supporting role in the musical comedy ''Rock-A-Bye Baby'' (1958) opposite Jerry Lewis, followed by the drama film ''The Party Crashers'' (also 1958) opposite Frances Farmer.
Stevens gained widespread recognition for her portrayal of "Cricket" Blake on the ABC TV Warner Brothers series ''Hawaiian Eye'', beginning in 1959 opposite Robert Conrad and Anthony Eisley. She garnered concurrent musical success when her single "Sixteen Reasons" became a national radio hit, peaking at number 3 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart and the UK Singles Chart in 1960. Stevens continued to appear in film and television throughout the 1970s and 1980s, as well as performing as a musical nightclub act.
Stevens' later film roles include in the comedy ''Tapeheads'' (1988) and the drama ''Love Is All There Is'' (1996). In 2009, Stevens made her directorial debut with the feature film ''Saving Grace B. Jones'', which she also wrote and produced, based partly on elements of her own childhood. Provided by Wikipedia
