She was my favorite when I was little. I loved her in Gidget and everything else after that. She was so beautiful.
She voiced Gerda in the 1959 English dubbed version of the Soviet Animated film “The Snow Queen” along with Louise Arthur, Tommy Kirk, and Patty McCormack
She was so sweet and unassuming....I pray she is with angels. RIP Sandra
Me too
I remember the movie, "imitation of Life". She and Lana Turner and others gave great performances. Sandra had the sweetest voice and was beautiful.
I have watched that movie many times and it's just a fabulous movie.
I remember "Come September" which was released in 1961. She was so beautiful.
Love that movie.
Amazing movie! She was a sweetheart in that movie.
How could you not love Sandra Dee -- full of fun and so full of live!
I feel so bad for Sandra. That was a scary, confusing, and traumatizing childhood. What a sick and twisted man her stepfather was. I wish I could go back and protect her.
Hello Stephanie
How are you doing today?
I always thought she was so adorable!! I never knew her life story...so tragic!! May she rest in peace.
Rest in heavenly peace, Sandra Dee
She received an amazing welcome from the audience!
Sandra Dee and Annette Funicello were my true loves when I was a boy; They don;t make em like that any more! RIP Gidget!
They don’t make men like William Holden anymore either.
Ditto. Loved them both like real girlfriends but never met them in person. Both lovely ladies, sadly, had difficult lives.RIP
I love the interview. Sandra Dee was a wonderful, beautiful person. I'm so sad that she had so many problems.
She was molested as a child and struggled with anorexia and bulimia for years
Sandra Dee was a beautiful girl and woman.
Still love her so much. She was my idol growing up. Her mother was a Monster!
Sandra Dee, such a sweet girl. She didn't deserve such a life...nobody does.
Isn't it strange how superstars often have a tragic life. I appears as though there is a price for everything. Sandra was a fantastic actress...she had class...wow
Tremendous respect for this lady.
Sandra Dee's is such a beautiful woman and inside as well. R.I.P.
she was still a stunner in this interview.
The softest, most beautiful girl/woman, what a tragedy this had to be the outcome. At least she leaves an amazing legacy and lives forever with us.

I so loved Sandra Dee! An incredible actress, mother & woman who died much to young. She looks as beautiful as ever, in this video. We miss her so terribly much! May She Rest In Peace! I sooooo loved Sandra Dee!❤️
Hello Karen
How are you doing today?
I would also have loved to meet Sandra Dee I loved Summer Place back when I was a teenager. God bless Sandra sorry for the pain you must have suffered because of your Dad.
RIP Sandra Dee
When I was a kid (2 years younger than Sanda Dee) I had her picture all over my bedroom walls. I couldn't get enough of her. I saw A Summer Place a dozen times.
When she married Bobby Darien I was heart broken. I was equally saddened to learn of her death. To me, she will always be special. RIP Sandra.
I met her when she was in the hospital in Los Angeles, I did her nutritional assessment. She was heavily medicated but she saw my name badge (Sandra is my name too) and she smiled for a second.
SMAOKA awwww
Have you heard of HIPAA because you just violated it?
markm0nk She said nothing about her medical condition, and saying she was under heavy medication is very vague.
@@A-FrameWedge I would suggest that Sandra contact her licensing entity and show them her post and ask if it's a HIPAA violation and see what they say.
@@KabobHope That's going to be a little difficult for Sandra to do since she passed away in 2005 you dip sh!t
Poor girl! Her parents killed her slowly but surely even though she only gave light and joy to her world fans. R.I.P beautiful lady.
She died of kidney failure from years of anorexia, and chronic alcoholism
I love this lady, I watched Gidget the movie which was so adorable and even though I am a millenial (only 27) she is one of my role models, as a teen and young woman now I love to look and be like Miss Sandra Dee. She's beautiful inside and out especially when she was a blossoming young woman.
She’s so sweet, I have always loved Sandra Dee, awesome spirit, RIP ❤️❤️❤️
Sandra seems so nice here and from what I heard she was always really nice and down to earth.
Her face was eternally beautiful! :-)
I loved her in "Imitation of Life" (formerly called "I Passed For White"). A drama about white and black families in the 1960's and about a young black girl that could pass as a white girl & didn't want her black mother to hold her back. During the 60's this was a huge film. Even today when I watch this film, I cry.
If you ever get the chance, watch it!
THAT WAS GREAT!!!!!
"I Passed for white" was a different movie.
Myra Hilton Great minds think alike Myra my favourite film ever
Jim Stark But the original didn't have the the Late, Great, Gospel Singer/Legend: Mahalia Jackson, singing in the remake starring Lana Turner, Sandra See and Juanita Moore.
Myra Hilton••••The movie 🎥 takes place in
1947☺️
Turner Classics just showed "Summer Place"...She was so beautiful and such a great actress...LOVE HER FOREVER....
This woman was amazing. What an actor! Back in the good ole days
We all loved Sandra Dee.
Hello Cheryl
How are you doing today?
When Sandra died I sent a sympathy mail and received a reply from Dodie, I still have it.
*****
Soapbxprod claims to own TH-cam, really, he's that deluded. "Do you know who I am?" he proclaims like the idiot he is. He's not only as short as Napoleon, he thinks he is Napoleon.
I had a picture of Sandra on my bedroom wall too, right next to one of Doris Day. She went on the play "Tammy" although I only saw the "Debby Reynolds" version. He'll take this comment down because of the coward that he is, I know. Short in height and short on moral fortitude and any talent whatsoever..
I have you on block shorty. Please stop sending me any messages at all. You are clearly a fake. I don't converse with fakes.
Its a rule I have.
Dodd sounds like a class act!
Isn't it Todd ... or am I confused?
Their kid was Dodd Darin.
R.I.P Sandra, I don't know you but I give you a big hug !
Me too! ❤
Loved her. She was a teen goddess.

Her "personal" life story is shaking me - the parallels with my life are uncanny.
Am sadden to think about these tragedies happening to others - this moment.
Am sad to understand her guilt so well - it never really leaves ya -
RIP Sandra D.
The guilt, shame, self loathing doesn't belong to you or anyone that has been sexually abused as children, it belongs to the perpetrator and the ones that turned their back and left you alone to deal with the devastation. Been there, decided to love myself unconditionally, place the blame, shame & guilt where it belonged. Loving life.
What a sweet girl who grew up to be a lovely lady.
she was so very pretty and sweet when she was young something special about her
I loved Sandra Dee. She deserved a wonderful life but had so many trials to deal with. She was one of a kind.RIP
Thought she put in a great performance in A summer place.
It was a much underated movie.
Absolutely love that movie. Love the beach house. Always reminded me of childhood in Santa Cruz. At a time when folks could afford to live in a house on or near the beach.
I recently bought the DVD!!
Sandra Dee was the standout young actress of her era along with Natalie Wood. There were Diane Varsi (who stopped acting in 1959 until the late 60s), Hope Lange, Carol Lynley, Susan Kohner and Tuesday Weld, too, but my favorite was Sandra. She was THE Teen Queen back then. It's so sad to hear that terrible things happened to her. RIP Sandra Dee.
Loved Sandra Dee, RIP sweetheart...
A beautiful woman and the idol of teenagers.. We all wanted to be Sandra Dee..
I still have the movie poster from "A Summer Place" that I "acquired" when working for a theater, and that was 58 years, ago. When I heard that she had died, I cried. I decorated the theater poster with cut-outs of her I found in various magazines. For some strange reason, I never wrote her, which I regret. Rest in peace, dear Sandra.
A Summer's Place with Troy Donohue What a gal

i was in love with her. the way she got treated is sickening.
What a precious little woman
Wow you can see how terrified and scared she is being up there. What a sad story.
I have Summer Place on DVD, I saw first at the cinema when I was a teenager,love the film, also watched Gidget at the cinema, you see the lovely Sandra Dee and never for a moment would you imagine how sad her life is, how incredibly brave to speak about it all the years later, RIP beautiful lady ❤
Hello Susan
How are you doing today?
What surprised me is that she said her mother knew about the abuse, but she did NOT blame her (for allowing it to go on). That she figured her mother was afraid that the creep would (so rather than chance his straying she allowed him to abuse her little girl from age five to eleven! UNREAL!
She was a child star , into adulthood . Her mother was her manager. She got alot of notoriety when she married Bobby Darin, She was pretty and very popular
her parents destroyed her..they should have both gone to jail immediately
They would have today, so in ways our country has gotten much better.
MOTHERS !!! Don''t let your kids be molested just so your husband won't leave.
You should never be a mother if you are too weak to protect your children.
💯😢😢
amazing that this needs to be even stated :_(
All too common.
How sick is that, weak mother's, in denial 😱😱😱
How right you are! So tragic that her mother allowed this to happen & makes me ill to think a mother would allow this but I realize it happens, even today! Sandra Dee had everything but yet, had nothing, because inside this poor young girl was destroyed by her stepfather molesting her! May God Rest Her Soul! May she find the peace finally in death that she could never find in life! Five yrs old to be molested, is absolutely inconceivable!!!! Her mother , allowing her poor sweet baby girl to be molested, sleeping between them in the bed, fills me w/ revulsion & horror.... furious anger too that how could any mother allow this, turning a blind eye to this. I feel she is equally to blame, as her illustrious, perverted, stepfather! Poor Sandra Dee had no one to protect her or watch out for her. Such a courageous, extraordinary woman!❤️
Sandra had such a tragic life, and she deserved much better. In a time where abuse, depression, eating disorders and alcoholism were not discussed, she must have felt that she had nowhere to turn. I'm sure this kind of thing has happened and continues to happen more than we know. People looked the other way, and apart from Sandra's stepfather, her mother Mary was the most guilty in the situation. Their relationship was extremely complicated. Mary made Sandra dependant on her for everything. Sandra had no clue what it was to have a normal life, and she never really experienced the teenage rites, like dating, which makes it all the more sad that she never found love again after Bobby Darin.
ryan Israel You must be a lot of fun at parties.
Thx so much for explaining all this esp about Sandra's mother.
+LoveFlatfootin1 No doubt he has sex with himself. Takes himself to dinner, plays footsies with himself under the table, goes to a movie, holds his own hand, goes home, invites himself in for a drink. . . then the lights go down. . .
+LoveFlatfootin1 Give her a break! Forgive you mean person!
Muirmaiden
after seeing her in "a summer place" I just fell in love with her as most men did. she was such an innocent lady. what a class act. i'll always miss her.
"Summer Place" is one of my favorite movies. I thought Sandra and Troy would have made a great couple but she married Bobby Darin. As the years went by and I got older I decided that Richard Eagan got better looking!!💞
She was used, exploited and destroyed!
Shame on her parents! They killed her!!
Sounds like Lindsay Lohan's story.
Kidney failure
Sandra Dee was one of the biggest stars of the late 50s early 60s she was typecast by her studio Universal and never really became a major adult star ..But like many in Hollywood her life wasn't the movies ..So Sad ...
so glad you had the chance to work through some of your demons. As a survivor of incest I agree it is very important to talk about it
That's how we received stars in all their glory, in the old days/. She was an icon and a lovely human being.
She was soooo beautiful.
Hello Linda
How are you doing today?
Heartbreaking. RIP beautiful Sandra.
I can relate to her pain. So glad she felt comfortable enough to tell her story.
Thanks for sharing this video. I have been a fan of hers since day one. Saw all her movies, joined her Fan club. She sent me a picture of her after writing her. Use to wear my hair like her. Tried to dress like her in High school. Had her records of the songs that were deleted in summer place. She also had a song in the Snow Queen movie that was a 45"
Love her..... RIP beautiful Sandra Dee
She was famous before my time but of course I had heard of her. She has the most beautiful eyes. I feel this wig is too big for her but I really applaud her candor.
That was not a wig
Jeana Members how do you know?
Geeese!!
Jeana Members q
Everyone had big hair, lol this was almost the norm
When moondoggie sings to her ,she has the most magnificent look in her beautiful brown eyes👀💦🌧❗❗❗
Oh my, bless her heart. R.I.P. Sandra Dee.
With the recent scrutiny of talk show hosts taking advantage of vulnerable guests, such as Diane Sawyer's interview with Britney Spears, Sally Jesse Raphael conducted this with sensitivity, asking permission along the way. It sets the tone for the audience too, to listen with compassion with the hope that the story may help others.
THANK YOU for a GREAT Upload!!!
i love her and i love dori day my two fav women ...i always love classic tv and movie born in the 70 i guess but i love the 60 40 50 movies they sre great
Thats Sally Jesse Rafael- who was bigger than Oprah- in the 80's. She was famous for her Red glasses
Chris Fox she let people talk and was far more interesting than winfreak ever was.
Davin Dx I'm sure the 20 yrs the show was on air and her own channel that your opinion don't matter
Chris Fox I always liked her interviews. I would watch this show as a teen.
Sandy Dee always tried her best. RIP Sandra. TY for this informative session, Mr. John Fun.
Ramfis Trujillo Jo
Wow!!! TY for this podcast.
She was an amazing actress. Beautiful and down-to-earth, who I truly believed lived with a broken heart. I loved her and all of her movies. I most definitely understand and can relate to her life. ❤
Poor Sandra Dee! I enjoyed her movies when they were on tv. RIP
Sandra Dee was my favorite
The voice always took me back a step, her performance as Molly in Summer place, she says I bounce when I walk do I do I, RIP DEE.
what a true beauty, God bless you Sandra dee!!!!
Hello Laurie
How are you doing today?
I absolutely loved her so much….Her movies were my youth and my happiness 💜
Grew up watching her movies. They played a lot of older movies on one of the stations in my native country, Costa Rica. Always loved her.
Someone wrote that this is what addiction looks like but actually- this is what years of childhood trauma, parental negligence and control and an adult child (Sandra) protecting their parents by denying to themselves that said parent allowed their exploitation - looks like. Addiction is a symptom of deeper issues.
it is classic that the victim feels like the guilty party
Sandra dee is awesome, a true inspiration, and human testimony, of bouncing back...jersey born and raised myself, her and bobby darin, did the nightclub circuit in jersey clubs...along with connie francis, another jersey celebrity...kudos, for your strength, sandra...
I love you "Gidget"
She's only 51 here in this interview...but she looks like she's 70. Her addiction really did damage. May she R.I.P.
Wow, I've gotta disagree with you there. I think she's still quite a looker! And I don't think she looks 70!
Her demons from her whole past childhood is what Drove her addiction! Soooo Sad that she is the one who payed the damn price for her own mother and step-fathers crimes against her!!😓💔
Frankly I am truly astonished that Sandra went on to do so very well in her career, considering she carried around such extreme heavy emotional damage for all those years and years........
I'm 60 and she looks a yummy 40 something
I think it’s her hair. Otherwise I think she looks forty something.
I saw her in 'A Summer Place' with Troy Donohue and Ronald Reagan. I forgot who the other stars were, but she was adorable in that movie. Very, very cute. A lot of black eye shadow though, but somehow it looked good on her. Platinum blonde hair and all. Poor woman. She didn't have the best life.
Chita Braithwaite It was Eleanor Parker but I do not think Ronnie played in that movie,
You're right. It was Richard Egan, not Ronald Reagan. My bad.
Chita Braithwaite It was two fabulous actors Richard Egan and Dorthy McGuire...
Ronald Reagan was not in Summer Place
Sandra Dee was one of my favorite actresses! I truly believe people put her on a pedestal and that was just to hard on her ! No one could live up to that ! (BRENDA CONSTABLE)
I was born in 1954 and grew up watching all her movies - she seemed to be the most adorable, charming All American Girl. I think she actually had potential as a serious dramatic actress but was completely typecast by the Hollywood studio system who pigeonholed her into the Tammy pictures and Gidget. I wish her true talents were used by the film industry and if she had been given serious dramatic roles she would have truly flourished in her career.
Now that she has revealed the source of her alcoholism, depression and mental health issues - I have complete compassion for her.
As a child and teen I thought Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee were the "Charmed Couple" they clearly loved each other so much and it was a real tragedy about their divorce and his death at such an early age. THeir son is the spitting image of Bobby Darin and looks so much like his dad!
I remember when she went on the Mike Douglas show in the late 1960s and she spoke about being sexually abused as a child and how she was basically the Cash Cow financially supporting her parents as a child star.
Great memories from my young years, troy was every girls dream. Thanks for the memories .
Sandra dee was a very sweet and everyone loved her beach movies. She will not be forgotten.
Wow , she is really amazing . I have always loved her movies .
Still beautiful and feel sorry she had a tough life too. Rest In Peace sweet Sandra dee🙏
She didn't blame her mother, she ate it all, she could laugh, play, have fun.... Unbelievable!
The father tells her she was making it up. She really couldn't tell whether she is lying or not. Mom doesn't want to know.
Dodd.
God bless you Sandra. I loved her and Bobby Darin together. So sad they were both damaged people. Wish they could have worked it out.
Always loved Sandra Dee for the sweet person she was, She had such promise for a wonderful life. I am so sorry all this happened to her and hope she is at peace with Bobbie Darin.
Hello Kathy Lopez
I would have liked to have met her.
the show must go on
Her mother did like mine, and it sure as hell is their fault. My mother has been dead for over 40 years, and I still hate her and everything she stood for.
I wonder if the writers on "Grease" regret the song about her now.
Applepiebetty I don't get what you're trying to say, you don't like sandra dee's mother? or you don't like sandra dee?
ennui blue She is telling everyone that her own mother did the same thing to her and even tho she died 40 years ago, she still hates her. It does not have anything to do with Sandra’s mother other than the fact she compared the two initially.
@@ennuiblue4295 It's pretty easy to understand, she went through the same thing as Sandra. She's talking about her feelings towards her own mother.
ennui blue Her statement was pretty clear.
It was a mean song and unnecessary I thought.
I was first introduced to her in the movie “Summer Place”, and I thought she was so pretty. All the true talent and real beauty was from “old Hollywood”, in my opinion. I’m not from her generation but my mother loved to watch these old movies and that’s how I learned who she was. 🙌🏻🎥🍿🎬
Such a sad life for such a beautiful, talented lady.
I use to watch giget in the 80's and I loved her and still do
She said,
Bobby Darin's first words he ever spoke to her were
" I'm going to marry you"
those would have been my first words to her as well 💎💍💞🌷⚘🎂⛪😙💑
But I’m a man and would have never let her go.
She should have lived the storybook life. So sad.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED HER MOVIES, SHE WAS ROM MY ERA. RIP SANDRA
She was beautiful and a GREAT ACTRESS!!
Loved Sandra Dee. She was adorable. Miss her.
