Connie and Tony were too young to build a strong family. Soon they divorced. After that Connie turned back to Tennessee. There she attended a nursing school. Having got an education, Connie turned back to LA with her son Quentin. The young attractive woman soon met another man, who made her happy and cared about her son. He was very close with Quentin and supported the boy’s interest to the cinema. He took small Tarantino to the movie theater very often.

Connie’s marriage to Curtis ended in 1973. The musician made a great impact on Quentin. Curtis Zastoupil remained his friend. But he was not the last Connie’s husband. She went down the aisles for the third time with Jan Buhusch. They had been married during 8 years. But their family life ended with a divorce too. Currently Connie is single. She works as a movie producer.
