Connie Sawyer was born Rosie Cohen in Pueblo, Colorado on November 17, 1912. After graduating from high school, she moved to New York City and started to perform in vaudeville and nightclubs. In 1948, she made her Broadway debut in Hilarities. Her role as a tipsy society lady on Broadway's A Hole afficher plus in the Head in 1957 lead to her reprising her role in the film version in 1959.

"I Never Wanted To Be A Star - And I Wasn't", by… par Connie Sawyer
My friend Connie Sawyer is 104 as I write this, and as such, she is one of the oldest actors working in Hollywood. She was born in 1912 and has worked with everyone from Sophie Tucker to James Franco, and in venues from vaudeville to "Dumb and Dumber." In this slight but vivid autobiography, she touches on the major points of her 90-year career and, as a true vaudevillian, always leaves the audience wanting more. It's a delightful book written by a delightful woman.
