Dodie Stevens, at age 13, recorded the #1 hit in the country, "Pink Shoelaces.'. She had international success as well, and toured worldwide. As a teenager, Dodie appeared several times on Dick Clark's '"American Bandstand" and Co-starred with Fabian in her first feature film, "Hound Dog Man". Over the next four decades, she continued to work in television, film and stage with Bob Hope, Harry Belafonte, Jerry Lewis, Johnny Carson, Mac Davis, Loretta Lynn, Boz Scaggs, Frankie Avalon, her dear friend Annette Funicello, and countless others. Currently, Dodie performs songs with her talented daughter Stephanie in "Oldies Shows" from the 50' s & 60's. Most of her time, however, is spent teaching singing and stage performance from her studio in Vista, Ca. Kitty Pretty was conceived and created, by Dodie Stevens for her beloved cat, Ingy. When Dodie began teaching singing lessons, students had to walk by Ingy's unsightly litter box to get to the studio. In an effort to disguise the box, she began experimenting with different fabrics and designs. Inspired from her years of stage performance, she settled upon a "stage curtain" opening for the cat to enter the box. This provided privacy for Ingy , helped contain the odor, and reduced the scattered litter. She knew she had the right combination when, seconds after placing it over the box, Ingy pushed her nose through and entered the box with ease. Dodie's students still do not know they are walking by a litter box and she is pleased that she doesn't have to hide it any- more!
