Sandra Dee
Encyclopedia
Sandra Dee was an American actress. Dee began her career as a model
and progressed to film. Best known for her portrayal of ingenues
, Dee won a Golden Globe Award
in 1959 as one of the year's most promising newcomers, and over several years her films were popular. By the late 1960s her career had started to decline, and a highly publicized marriage to Bobby Darin
ended in divorce.
She rarely acted after this time, and her final years were marred by illness; she died as a result of renal failure
.
. Her parents divorced before she was five. She was of Polish
and Carpatho-Russian ancestry and was raised in the Russian Orthodox Church
. Her son Dodd Darin wrote on page 27 of his biographical book about his parents Dream Lovers that Sandra's mother, Mary Cymboliak, and her sister Olga "were first generation daughters of a working class Russian Orthodox couple." Sandra herself recalled on page 30 "we belonged to a Russian Orthodox Church, and there was dancing at the social events."
Alexandra would soon take the name Sandra Dee. She became a professional model
by the age of four and subsequently progressed to television commercials.
There has been some confusion as to Dee's actual birth year, with evidence pointing to both 1942 and 1944. According to her son's book she was born in 1944, but since Dee started modeling and acting at a very young age, she and her mother falsely inflated her age by two years so she could find more work. Therefore 1942 was listed as her birth year in official studio press releases, leading to that year being considered truthful in verifiable sources. If Dee was indeed born in 1942, she was 18 when she married the 24 year-old Bobby Darin
in 1960.
In a 1959 interview, Dee recalled that she "grew up fast", surrounded mostly by older people, and was "never held back in anything [she] wanted to do." During her modeling career, Dee attempted to lose weight to "be as skinny as the high fashion models", though an improper diet "ruined [her] skin, hair, nails - everything". Having slimmed down, her body was unable to digest any food she ate, and it took the help of a doctor to regain her health. According to the actress, she "could have killed [herself]" and "had to learn to eat all over again."

and Diane Varsi

roles in such films as The Reluctant Debutante
, Gidget

In 1994, Dee's son Dodd Darin published a book about his parents, Dream Lovers: The Magnificent Shattered Lives of Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee, in which he chronicled his mother's anorexia, drug and alcohol problems and her disclosure that she had been sexually abused as a child by her stepfather, Eugene Douvan.
