Actor Born: April 23, 1942 in Bayonne, NJ Death: February 20, 2005 in Thousand Oaks, CA Biography:American actress "Sandra Dee" began her career as a model at age 12, and later moved on to TV commercials. Her film break came when producer "Ross Hunter" balked at "Natalie Wood"'s lofty salary demands and decided to use a newcomer to play "Lana Turner"'s daughter in "Imitation of Life" (1959). The result for Dee was a long-term contract at Universal, although one of her biggest moneymakers was the 1959 Warner Bros. film "A Summer Place". In 1961, Dee married singer/actor "Bobby Darin", with whom she appeared in three lightweight but money-making comedies. After her divorce from Darin in 1967, Dee could no longer convey her patented perky-teen charm, and her career began a downhill slide, although the decline was occasionally slowed a bit by such curious highlights as the pseudo-hip sex comedy "Doctor, You've Got to Be Kidding" (1967) and the nail-biting psychological scare film "The Dunwich Horror"...
