Rossana
Tribute to Connie Francis

Rossana has come a long way since she was first discovered at the age of 10 in her home province, New Brunswick. Prior to that, she had attended one of England’s most prestigious stage schools. The Italia Conti in London, where she diligently applied herself to the mysteries of ballet, tap, jazz dance and acting, but it was her incredible voice that won out in the long run.

Following a breakthrough performing at the National Atlantic Exhibition, her family was approached by an established country star and her management, seeking to take the youngster on the road. Rossanna’s parents, wisely, decided that she should finish her education before the bright lights drew her away.
