Her life with Bobby Darin has been told in the 2004 film, Beyond The Sea. She has appeared on a number of prime-time television shows, starting with Foley Square and several early episodes of Chicago Hope. In 2000 she reported that she had been diagnosed with throat cancer and kidney failure. She followed that role with a longer stint on As The World Turns, originating the role of Margo Montgomery, a character which is still part of that show over twenty years later. She has admitted that for most of her life she has battled anorexia nervosa, depression and alcoholism. In seven months on that show her character survived seven murder attempts and ended up marrying her step brother. Dee's adult years have been marked by ill health.

She got her start in the soap opera The Edge of Night, playing an heiress and former terrorist. Her 1950s persona was the inspiration for the song "Look At Me, I'm Sandra Dee", featured in the film Grease (1978). She was born on May 26, 1957, the daughter of a police officer and a crop duster. During the 1970s she took very few acting roles, but made occasional television appearances. Margaret Colin is an actress. They had one son together, but in 1967 she and Darin were divorced. She was contracted to Universal Studios who tried to develop Dee as a mature actress, and the films she made as an adult, including a few with Darin, were moderately successful.

Her marriage in 1960 to singer and actor Bobby Darin, kept her in the public eye for much of the decade. Her film career flourished, and she became known for her wholesome ingenue roles in such films as Imitation of Life, Gidget and A Summer Place (all 1959). In 1958 she won a Golden Globe Award for "Most Promising Newcomer" (along with Carolyn Jones and Diane Varsi). She progressed to television commercials and then made her first film in 1957.

Born Alexandria Zuck in Bayonne, New Jersey, Dee was a professional model by the age of four. Sandra Dee (born April 23, 1944) is an American film actress.
