Two of my favorite stars. Sandra was a tremendous actress - probably underrated who clearly stepped aside out of love for her husband. Bobby was a fabulously talented guy who could do it all, but was racing to get it all done, while he could. It was a different time then. It’s partly sad but then as you pointed out they remained close and raised an exceptional son. Their legacy lives on in real life, on records, in film… they’re both still America’s Sweethearts! We still love them both dearly!
You can't blame everything on the mother. She was trying to raise her daughter the best way she could. The step-father was one thing and Bobby Darin abused her physically. They were in love once but both had a temper.
I never heard that Bobby abused her, I read that sandy was into drugs and he asked for the divorce but they still stayed close. What a good looking couple wish it could have turned out better for them. But they have a wonderful son!
I adored & idolized Sandra through junior high & high school. I had the opportunity to meet her at a book signing in LA with her son Dodd. They were both very kind. She appeared somewhat nervous & unsure of herself, but was her usual beautiful & charming self. They were both very kind. This pop up on my TH-cam made my day & brought back many good memories. Thank you.
@FactsVerse Bobby Darin, Andy Williams, Billy D. Williams, Samuel E. Jackson, Troy Donahue, Peter Fonda, Sandra Bullock, Keanu Reeves and Smokey Robinson. I have plenty more, but that should hold you a while. Lol Love your videos.
I wanted to be Sandra Dee. I was a big fan and A Summer Place is one of my favorite movies. I was sad when I learned about the hardships of her life. When I read about her father’s abuse and the collapse of her marriage, I was very thankful that I didn’t live her life. Sounds very tragic, and she didn’t deserve it. R.I. P. Beautiful Lady.
I saw Sandra Dee on a talk show a couple of years before her death. The show was about her and her life. She spoke of the years of self-imposed isolation she endured after her career stalled. She was deep into a combination of alcohol and drug addiction while also battling depression and severe anorexia. She shared how these problems had taken a toll on her mental and physical health. The decline in her career and the troubles in her personal relationships left her feeling emotionally vulnerable and unloved. James Darren was also a guest. He spoke about how he wished he had known about her situation and the pain he felt as she withdrew from friends. He invited her to reach out and resume rebuilding her friendships. He would gladly support her recovery. The whole show was bittersweet but hopeful. It appears that the result was temporary as she withdrew again and died shortly afterward.
It was both her heinous step-fathers sexual abuse and her mothers tenacious control that messed this sweet womans life. Glad she told Bobby Darrin about what happened and the shame and sorrow it created into her grown up years and their marriage. Love them both.
Bobby Darin’s mother was 17 and unmarried when she had him. She and her mother pretended that she was Bobby’s older sister, and Grandma was Bobby’s mom. He didn’t discover the truth until he was an adult, and it really messed him up.
so sad. they probably did it for the judgment that would surely come their way. they may have thought it was the best thing for the child. I know Ted Bundy was upset about it...amongst other things obviously. And Bobby Darin. I don't know what effect it had on Jack N. edit to say Dream Lover is one of my favorite songs. not my genre normally but it's just irresistible 🎶🎶
@@musicisgoodforthesoul999 The effect on Nicholson is obvious. To this day he doesn’t know which of two of his mother’s lovers (he hated her even when he thought she was his sister) was his father. I suppose he doesn’t care because a DNA test would prove it. The two men were ethnically different.
@@Outlier999 wow I didn't know that. thanks for the info😁edit to add, yeah he's eccentric so I get the connection I just didn't know he hated his mom. sad
Sad she went through trauma with parents like that. Loved her in A SUMMER PLACE. BOBBY AND HER WERE GREAT TOGETHER BOTH TALENTED. IT UNFORTUNATE WITH SAD SAD ENDINGS.
I read an article about Sandra Dee and her mom and it said that Sandra told her mother about being molested by her step father and her mother told her she didn't believe her. Her mother got Sandra into modeling at a young age. It sounded like her mother was a stage mom and used her so that she could have money.
Being from Bayonne Sandra Dee was an icon. When she came to town our school ended up in the DeWitt Theatre to see her come out onstage in a beautiful Kelly green velvet coat with white fur trim; she looked absolutely stunning with her beautiful blonde hair glistening off the stage lights. I grew up on the same street Sandra lived with her parents. From what I was told she even played with my cousin when she was little. When she came to Bayonne she spent two afternoons at a hardware store signing autographs but her mother wasn’t far behind. my brother was there and took pictures and her and her mother. She signed autographs and my brother was in 7th heaven.
Oh wow! My mother LOVED Sandra Dee(they were the same age) so therefore my sisters and I did too! They used to play Sandra Dee movies all the time on television back in the day. So sad to hear about her past but she lucked out with her lovely son. ❤❤❤
Dodd Bobby Darin's and Sandra Dee's son is one of the best results of their union. Dodd is kind and well spoken. Here him speak on various TH-cam videos. He's great
I always wondered what happened to them thank you for this video. Again I owe you . For bringing closure to many of life's mysteries. You made my day. They were both treasures iny mind.
I always read and heard that it was Bobby Darin that had many affairs not Sandra Dee. As far back as I can remember and I'm 89 years old I don't remember even dating after Bobby Darin died on the operating table having a bypass I think that's what how it went but she drank heavily and then died at the age of 62 because of kidney disease probably brought on from the drinking but there was never any Scandal about her with another man. She love Bobby Darin very much.
Bobby was very devoted to her - he was not a "womanizer" by any stretch. When things became irreconcilable it was when his world really came crashing down, he found out that his "sister" was actually his "mother" when he was about to help RFK's political run and his "sister"/biological mother thought she had better "fess up" to Bobby as if he started getting into politics, because in the world of politics of course all sorts of things are getting dug up about you. So in his early to mid thirties he learned about his "sister" and this devastated Bobby, who was very disciplined and old school in that his word was his bond -- and he literally made deals with his manager with a wink and a handshake (unheard of today). He had unshakeable confidence, charisma, business sense, brains (he had genius IQ) and credibility that gave him enormous power in negotiations. He truly loved Sandra and it was unfortunately and inevitably a volatile combination of two extraordinary people with extraordinary challenges. But there is no doubt in my mind that he was as faithful as he could be to her until they became separated due to Sandra's substance/alcohol abuse. It was too much, he knew his life was short and so precious and he did not want his life to be further unraveled by the chaos and despair of substance abuse after so many attempts to help her. May they both RIP.

@@sunlight4169 He was faithful to Sandra.According to his son,s biography he was at times brutal and insensitive leaving her in tears.The way he divorced her was brutal.Telling her he did not want to be married anymore.Just because he thought she was carrying on with Warren Beatty.They were at a party Beatty flirted with her she got all coquettish and giggled.He fi divorced just because of this.F Dodd said she was not the girl he married but a woman.He could not handle this.Oh course he later regretted. this.I appreciated he loved her but his selfishness and ego got the better of him. But because of this he made a decision he regretted.Dumping the woman he loved.
@@patriciaotuma3531 Yes, Bobby did have his faults, patience was certainly not his virtue but he was living on borrowed time as well. With divorces and significant grievances of anything for that matter, we often hear of the iceberg "tip" statement/partial rationale one makes about the grievance such as "don't want to be married anymore if you are running around with Warren Beatty", etc. but in reality there is so much more to what is going on beneath the surface. It was so sad all around for Bobby and Sandra. I know they are at peace now though.
I grew up with her movies. I loved her and Bobby. I didn't know about her horrible pain that she had to live through. She was a great actor and she kept me interested in fashions. They loved each other and waited to long to talk about their problems together. Maybe their outcome could have helped them. I miss seeing her. A beautiful girl and woman. She left us to early as did Bobby. Rest in peace both of you....God Bless your son Dodd....
Such a shame. Personally, I think ALL of their problems were rooted in their backgrounds. The lies that Bobby was told and the sexual abuse from Sandra's childhood. It ALWAYS stems from their parents. They both will always be remembered as talented young stars that made them legendary. May they both rest in peace.
I loved her in Gidget. I wasn't sure why until I watched the movie again and again. And now I know why I liked her so much in the movie. She was fearless and didn't care what the young men thought of her. Her girl friends were on the shore preening and she was in the water taking a chance on being made fun of. She was, but powered on with her $25 surf board...practicing even on her twin bed. It was her independence I loved but was too young to see past the love story. My friends call me Gidget now. ha!
Verified in many places, Dee’s mother and Natalie Wood’s mom sound like twins. Both controlling, mean and selfish thinking only of themselves as they lived off their daughters. So sad.
@@MTknitter22 I noticed that Sandra's mum was at every function that Sandra and Bobby attended.Does anybody find this a bit much.I am suprised Bobby put up with it.Knowing his nature.
I read that Sandra was actually 17 when she married Bobby. Her mother made her 2 years older when she started modelling and then acting so that she would get grownup roles instead of childstar roles.
I loved Sandra Dee so much! I wanted to be just like her. I think I must have watched Gidget more than 20 times just in High School!! She is just so beautiful. What a tragic life though. Very heartbreaking.
They were both such unique stars. There was no other lovely, innocent and effervescent young actress like her, so I like her more than I like Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn, and there was no other young singer, songwriter, performer and actor like him. They both had short careers and yet they managed to make their mark and be among the most unforgettable stars in Hollywood history. I became a big Sandra Dee fan when I saw Gidget on tv and her movies were among the first movies I watched on Yt until they were removed. We need to have access to more of her and also Bobby's movies. We respect the copyright reason, but I hope their movies will be made available for rent or sale on Yt like other old movies. 🙏❤️
I remember when he died but didn’t realize he was only 37…I was 16 and remember it in the paper. That is so young. She was a great actress but always had sadness in her eyes. Imitation of life is one of my favorite movies. She’s the kind that has a very full face even though she has a very thin body- its understandable why she would have an eating disorder-being a Hollywood actress. Most of them had very chiseled features.
In their son,s book hen said that at times he was brutal to her,but he was faithful.His son was excruciatingly frank about his behaviour.If their was proof that he did cheat he would have mentioned it.
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
Why does this have the anchor for NBC News on it?? I only watched a few minutes but still cannot understand how they could be connected. Someone please tell me! Thanks.
Sandra dee seriously needs a theatrical bio pic. She's more than a song in 'grease'. In 'beyond the sea' the spacey Darrin movie was not enough towards their relationship. I'm surprised that their son dodd doesn't do anything with his parents legacy. I enjoyed Sandra most in her two 'Tammy' movies.
Sandra’s son Dodd wrote and published the book. I've read it. Sandra was alcoholic and tormented by her tragic experience. She couldn't attended Dodd's wedding because she was drunk and passed out. I really felt sorry for her and her son Dodd.
@1019q hi my friend yes I own Dodds book, I still believe Sandra dee deserves a not over exploitive bio theatrical movie. Yes the spacey Darrin pic did as it was suppose to concentrate on Bobby and yet balanced many Sandra life moments. I wouldn't want her trauma illustrated on screen but she deserves the respect for all she gave and yes the true story of her mother and abusive step father. Many blessings
My all time favorite movie star growing up in the late 50's and 60's. A Summer Place is permanently etched in my mind because I used to spend summers with my Mom on Block Island R.I. , much like the fictional seaside place, Pine Island, where the movie took place. It was a gentler time , almost idyllic . I wish I could go back to that era. RIP Sandra Dee and Bobby Darrin.... you are so missed and remembered by legions of fans.
I'm glad you mentioned the anorexia. Many years ago I read that she ate a hard boiled egg once a day----and that was it for food. With a diet like that, the poor girl was probably hungry for more than affection.
Interesting life story. A parent should never be controlling in their child's life. Sandra Dee and Bobby Darin really loved each other. Her mother should had stepped out of her life; once Sandra married Bobby.
I know of Bobby Darin mostly from the films Too Late Blues and Pressure Point. In Too Late Blues he sort of plays himself, the pressure point opposite Sidney Poitier he plays a American Nazi who ended up in prison.
Beautiful talented woman and a huge star- made the list of top 10 box office draws five time, finishing number 11 of box office draws for the 1969s. Too bad what her stepfather did destroyed her life.
I think Sandra Dee & Bobby Darin had a great love story with ups & downs, just like Lucille Ball & Desi Arnaz. Both couples had a profound love for each other, but Hollywood/ fame took its toll.. I bet Sandra is with Bobby now in heaven, as Lucy is with Desi. RIP Y'all.
I didn't know that Her mother was like that.When.i was a girl.I loved her in movies I loved Tammy and the DrI remember going to the drive in to see that With some friends ✝️❤️
Everyone has an excuse. Darren hastened his demise with his relentless desire to "do it all while he could." He made his death a self-fulfilling prophecy. In the end, he hated Sandra so much, he left everything in his will to their son, but set it up so he would not receive a dime until he was 65, or Sandra died first. She did.
I watched a program on her on " Sally Jessie Raphaele", there dhe said she just eat canned soup for years after Bobby Darin died She was depressed. She also said she only had one sexual relationship in her life and that was with Bobvy Darin. Sad Bobby Darin died so young.They were a sweet couple. She was a true beauty!
Marlene, I suspect history would surely have repeated itself . Two souls with significant trauma in their young years are never a good match for "Happily Ever After" unless they've come to terms with their childhood.They both would have to have settled with the past and put it behind them. I know Sandra was unable to do that. Her drinking spiralled downward while Bobby continued to strive for fame. I adored them both but Life isn't all in black and white.
Poor girl. Well both of them. But I have to say, celebs lives aren’t any different than the rest of us growing up, or being married🤷♀️ just sayin’. I do recommend the book by their son.

Did she have an affair???
Throughout my life, I have always thought that Sandra Dee was the most beautiful woman of all the stars.
She was one of my favorite actresses. I've seen all of her movies.
I loved her as Gidget and the Tammy movies.

She was my favorite during my teen years. I saw all her movies and wanted to be just like her.
Adorable Sandra Dee!!
It is so surprising to hear of her destructive family life. How does a person so poorly treated have the confidence to be a movie star?
The mother lost her daughter when she did NOT protect Sandra. Mothers duty is to love & protect their children
Makes ya wonder if Sandras mom was afraid of losing Sandras money more than Darren stealing her from her childhood.. come on she was 19 after all..
Verified in many places, Dee’s mother and Natalie Wood’s mom sound like twins. Both controlling, mean and selfish thinking only of themselves as they lived off their daughters. So sad.
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
@@MTknitter22 I noticed that Sandra's mum was at every function that Sandra and Bobby attended.Does anybody find this a bit much.I am suprised Bobby put up with it.Knowing his nature.
I read that Sandra was actually 17 when she married Bobby. Her mother made her 2 years older when she started modelling and then acting so that she would get grownup roles instead of childstar roles.
I loved Sandra Dee so much! I wanted to be just like her. I think I must have watched Gidget more than 20 times just in High School!! She is just so beautiful. What a tragic life though. Very heartbreaking.
We're very happy to know that you're a fan of Sandra. Thank you so much for sharing your life story. What other types of video would you like to see?
Sorry to hear about their tamalutous relationship. They're were both talented, beautiful iconic Stars.🤩
*tumultuous
Immortalized in the song from Grease, "Look At Me, I'm Sandra Dee".
" lousy with virginity " 😝
They were both such unique stars. There was no other lovely, innocent and effervescent young actress like her, so I like her more than I like Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn, and there was no other young singer, songwriter, performer and actor like him. They both had short careers and yet they managed to make their mark and be among the most unforgettable stars in Hollywood history. I became a big Sandra Dee fan when I saw Gidget on tv and her movies were among the first movies I watched on Yt until they were removed. We need to have access to more of her and also Bobby's movies. We respect the copyright reason, but I hope their movies will be made available for rent or sale on Yt like other old movies. 🙏❤️
I remember when he died but didn’t realize he was only 37…I was 16 and remember it in the paper. That is so young. She was a great actress but always had sadness in her eyes. Imitation of life is one of my favorite movies.
She’s the kind that has a very full face even though she has a very thin body- its understandable why she would have an eating disorder-being a Hollywood actress. Most of them had very chiseled features.
Love Sandra talented always ❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂
Glad to know that you're a fan of Sandra. Which of her roles appealed to you the most?
Bobby Darren loved her but he was never faithful to her 💔
Sad but true. In your opinion, what is Sandra's finest role?
In their son,s book hen said that at times he was brutal to her,but he was faithful.His son was excruciatingly frank about his behaviour.If their was proof that he did cheat he would have mentioned it.

Love Miss. Sandra! God bless her!
Her mother's influence was a major obstacle in her life 's relationships and personal growth!
Tragic ending . They were adorable❤
Why does this have the anchor for NBC News on it?? I only watched a few minutes but still cannot understand how they could be connected. Someone please tell me! Thanks.
Sandra dee seriously needs a theatrical bio pic. She's more than a song in 'grease'. In 'beyond the sea' the spacey Darrin movie was not enough towards their relationship. I'm surprised that their son dodd doesn't do anything with his parents legacy. I enjoyed Sandra most in her two 'Tammy' movies.
Sandra’s son Dodd wrote and published the book. I've read it. Sandra was alcoholic and tormented by her tragic experience. She couldn't attended Dodd's wedding because she was drunk and passed out. I really felt sorry for her and her son Dodd.
@1019q hi my friend yes I own Dodds book, I still believe Sandra dee deserves a not over exploitive bio theatrical movie. Yes the spacey Darrin pic did as it was suppose to concentrate on Bobby and yet balanced many Sandra life moments. I wouldn't want her trauma illustrated on screen but she deserves the respect for all she gave and yes the true story of her mother and abusive step father. Many blessings
He did write a book about his parents.
Wow ! I think she was subjected to intense
MK Ultra Mind Control.
How worse than sad for this lovely woman !
Beautiful couple. Sorry it didn't go right.
So what did this have to do with Lester Holt? I no longer respect “facts first”.
My all time favorite movie star growing up in the late 50's and 60's. A Summer Place is permanently etched in my mind because I used to spend summers with my Mom on Block Island R.I. , much like the fictional seaside place, Pine Island, where the movie took place. It was a gentler time , almost idyllic . I wish I could go back to that era. RIP Sandra Dee and Bobby Darrin.... you are so missed and remembered by legions of fans.
Strange I have never seen a movie with them both in it on tv.
Loved both of them. They made an adorable couple. So sad that he passed at a young age. They were both so talented.
Did mot know they had a son.
Us too! Thanks for bringing back memories. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
@@FactsVerse I am not understanding what you are trying to push off here. No Thanks.
I do not need to see adult movies.
@@idamarsillo7327The owner of this channel is simply asking you what other stars you are interested in seeing videos of.
Dodd was a wonderful child. R.I.P. to Bobby and Sandra ❤❤
I always enjoyed watching her she was a beautiful woman you don’t see that many actors like them anymore
Chemistry on screen, too! My parents era. Luv her dresses.
America wasn't perfect but it was pretty darn good,thanks for the memories.
I'm glad you mentioned the anorexia. Many years ago I read that she ate a hard boiled egg once a day----and that was it for food. With a diet like that, the poor girl was probably hungry for more than affection.
Loved them!
Sad for both of them.
Interesting life story. A parent should never be controlling in their child's life. Sandra Dee and Bobby Darin really loved each other. Her mother should had stepped out of her life; once Sandra married Bobby.
A beautiful woman
Abuse when a girl or boy are young never leaves them and leaves a huge scar….
His last name is spelled with ONE “R”: Darin.
Sexual abuse can ruin your life.

Why do you have Mr. Chester Holts picture on your thumb nail😑
She was the most beautiful woman to ever walk amongst us mortals.
I once saw her movie Gidget. It was a really cool beach movie
One of our favorites too, you've got taste! What other types of video would you like to see?
I know of Bobby Darin mostly from the films Too Late Blues and Pressure Point.
In Too Late Blues he sort of plays himself, the pressure point opposite Sidney Poitier he plays a American Nazi who ended up in prison.
Really liked her in movies along with her husband
Bobby was in love with Connie Francis. He wanted to marry her, and she him, but her father would have no part of it.
Beautiful talented woman and a huge star- made the list of top 10 box office draws five time, finishing number 11 of box office draws for the 1969s. Too bad what her stepfather did destroyed her life.
She was a great actress and loved all her movies…It’s a shame she never got the right help…
Sad sad story. Both tried real hard.😢😢😢😢
their only son is the dead spit of bobby darin and his 2 daughters one of them is the deadspit of her grandmother sandra
Another money hungry mother was Shirley Temples's mom.
I was fiends with her brother Kenny in Bayonne NJ when we were children....7-8 years old.
My last name then was Jancewicz
I think Sandra Dee & Bobby Darin had a great love story with ups & downs, just like Lucille Ball & Desi Arnaz. Both couples had a profound love for each other, but Hollywood/ fame took its toll..
I bet Sandra is with Bobby now in heaven, as Lucy is with Desi. RIP Y'all.
I didn't know that Her mother was like that.When.i was a girl.I loved her in movies I loved Tammy and the DrI remember going to the drive in to see that With some friends ✝️❤️
where do you get your facts? make them up?!
Actors are a breed of there own ..there not stable. Fame Fame Fame
Too much of a generalisation. Actors are not a breed of their own ... they're not all unstable. They are human just like everyone else.
Everyone has an excuse. Darren hastened his demise with his relentless desire to "do it all while he could." He made his death a self-fulfilling prophecy. In the end, he hated Sandra so much, he left everything in his will to their son, but set it up so he would not receive a dime until he was 65, or Sandra died first. She did.
Did he write his own songs ? That would be very unusual for a "vocalist" at that time.
I don 't know a whole lot about Bobby Darrin or his background but surprised he hated Sandra .... really sad.
@@LannieLordI doubt it. He sure didn’t write “Mac the Knife.”
patrick, and you know this how?
@@LannieLord He did write Dreamlover and 18 yellow roses and others
Th movie Come September, also starred Rock Hudson, Sophia Loren
I watched a program on her on " Sally Jessie Raphaele", there dhe said she just eat canned soup for years after Bobby Darin died She was depressed. She also said she only had one sexual relationship in her life and that was with Bobvy Darin. Sad Bobby Darin died so young.They were a sweet couple. She was a true beauty!
Marlene, I suspect history would surely have repeated itself . Two souls with significant trauma in their young years are never a good match for "Happily Ever After" unless they've come to terms with their childhood.They both would have to have settled with the past and put it behind them. I know Sandra was unable to do that. Her drinking spiralled downward while Bobby continued to strive for fame. I adored them both but Life isn't all in black and white.
Sandra Dee was so Beautiful!
Poor girl. Well both of them. But I have to say, celebs lives aren’t any different than the rest of us growing up, or being married🤷♀️ just sayin’. I do recommend the book by their son.
Beautiful lady
