Constance Towers defies early fire misstep to star rise
New York AP writer HAL BOYLE notes Constance Towers began as a 12 year old popcorn machine fire causing usher, later blossoming into a top TV and supper club singer. She married Eugene C. McGrath, lived in Panama, and drifted among Kennedy circles. Boss Ford mentored her to costar with John Wayne in The Horse Soldiers. In Shock Corridor she plays a stripper, training by watching real dancers at The Pink Pussy Cat and a choreographer. She calls it great exercise and a test of singing while undressing.

He notes state and local revenue gains next year could approach 3 billion dollars.
