Actress Sandra Dee Is Dead
By THE NEW YORK TIMES

andra Dee, the actress who became an icon for a generation of teenagers in the late 1950's and early 1960's, died today at Los Robles Hospital and Medical Center in Thousand Oaks, Calif. She was 63.

The cause was complications from kidney disease, said Steve Blauner, a friend of the family.

Ms. Dee, a model-turned-actress, often portrayed the girl next door on the brink of womanhood, in such films as "Gidget," "Imitation of Life" and "Tammy."

In 1997, when Ms. Dee was Troy Donahue attended a screening of their 1959 movie "A Summer Place," the writer Olivia Goldsmith introduced them, saying, "They were Doris Day and Rock Hudson with juice."

Born Alexandra Douvan in Bayonne, N.J., she worked as a model in New York. "I used to sign vouchers and sign-out sheets with 'Alexandra D.,' " she said in a 1967 interview. "Somehow it stuck, and when Ross Hunger signed me for my first picture 10 years and 20 pictures ago, 'Sandra Dee' was the name they gave me."

Ms. Dee was married to the singer Bobby Darin, who died in 1973 at the age of 37 and was the subject of the recent film "Beyond the Sea." They were divorced in 1967. Their son, Dodd Darin, chronicled their relationship in the 1994 book "Dream Lovers: The Magnificent Shattered Lives of Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee."

She is survived by her son, Dodd Darin of Malibu, Calif., and two granddaughters.

she was hott.

has anyone seen that Spacey Bobby Darrin movie? i wonder how kate bosworth did with her role.

Whew. I thought this was Gidget the Midget from such porn classics as "Midget Goes Hawaiian" and "Gidget on Milligan's Island".

Christ I thought you meant Sally Field was dead!

All I could think was Oh NO!

As for Sandra Dee, just read something last week about how sick she was. And that she was on dialysis for her kidneys.

hey that reminds me, what's up with the spelling "womyn" that i keep seeing in articles about the L word? that shit is obnoxious. what does it mean?

Oh my god! I loved loved loved Sandra Dee! I watched all those frickin' Beach Party movies with Moondoggie, etc. everytime they showed 'em on TV. Damn, she wasn't that old either...only 63.

then you must be very relieved.

just goes to show how old i am.

it means bullshit.
in the 70's feminists wanted to take the word "men" out of the word woMEN. kind of a womyn identified womyn as opposed to male identified woMEN.

it's dumb and my piss poor attitude got me kicked out of the lesbians. they revoked my membership card and now there is no where in the world i can play softball.

yeah.

Never had a crush on Sandra- guess it was the squeaky-clean image that lacked appeal in that way. Now, Natalie Wood..........

as my roommate in college would say, they like to spell womyn with a MY instead of a ME.

also, i suppose this isn't the appropriate thread to mention this, but I'll be in NYC on April 23rd to play some softball.

No love for "waitron" either?

I'll save you a spot on our softball team. Our womyn suck ever since our all-star female second baseman had a kid and don't play no mo.

yesh...now natalie wood, indeed.

Cueing Suburban Lawns as we speak.
