Connie was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and relocated to Lynchburg, Virginia, at the age of seven with her family, including her fraternal twin sister. Her parents applauded her theatrical efforts while she was growing up, and encouraged her to continue her acting in college at Dartmouth while majoring in Asian studies. She even spent a term in Beijing learning Chinese. "Practically, it never comes in handy, not even in a Chinese restaurant," she says. "But I'm so glad I did it, because it's important for an actress to have an extensive vision of the world." Upon graduation she moved to New York, where she spent two years at the Neighborhood Playhouse studying with Sanford Meisner, and an additional two years performing in regional theater and off-Broadway productions.

After the success of "The Brothers McMullen," Connie moved to Los Angeles and quickly signed with an agent. During that year, she worked on "Ellen" as Paige's too-perfect sister, as well as pilots and movies for television. In her free time, the bi-coastal actress loves to hike, bike, run and do volunteer work. She resides in New York and Los Angeles with her cat, MacDougal.
