Members quartermainefan Posted February 8, 2015 Members Share Posted February 8, 2015 I stumbled across this by accident and judging by the 14 views not many people have. Helena Cassadine herself once starred in SHOWBOAT playing Julie, the half white/half black tragic singer. I don't even understand how she got that part but I had to research to see if this was indeed the same Constance Towers and sure enough it is. She had a great voice.

Members DRW50 Posted February 8, 2015 Members Share Posted February 8, 2015 She sang for quite a few years. She was on Ed Sullivan several times, and was the lead female in some small musical with Frankie Laine. She once talked about how she sang "With A Song In My Heart" at Rory Calhoun's funeral (he played her father on Capitol), which was his favorite song. She said she could barely get through it.
