Connie Cezon (March 28, 1925 – February 26, 2004), was an American film actress. Born in Oakland, California, Cezon made over 30 film and television appearances between 1951 and 1966.
Modern viewers will remember Cezon as a perfect blonde "gold digger" in several Three Stooges films. Her flair for physical comedy helped, and made memorable appearances in such films as Corny Casanovas, Up in Daisy's Penthouse, and Tricky Dicks. After leaving the Columbia shorts department, Cezon had a recurring role as 'Gertie' on Perry Mason between 1957 and 1966.
After retiring from the screen, Cezon operated and ran a cat-boarding service in Los Angeles called Connie's Kitty Castle [1].
Though her surmane was spelled 'Cezan' in the Stooge films, it appears 'Cezon' in all her other appearances. Cezon confirmed that the correct spelling is the latter [2].
Cezon died of complications from breast cancer surgery on February 26, 2004.
