LOS ANGELES - Actress Sandra Dee died Sunday, according to a published report. She was 63.

Her son Dodd Darin, who's father was actor-crooner Bobby Darin, told CNN the actress had been hospitalized to undergo treatment for kidney disease and pneumonia before she passed away on Sunday morning.

Anybody else think she looks a little like Joan Rivers in this pic?
Or do I need new bifocals again?

Very sad to hear of her passing at an early age. Those recent photos do look good, by the way, given her age and situation.

In terms of her birthdate, I tend to believe the earlier birthdate than any later birthdates for Hollywood actresses. I would bet that MSNBC might not be wrong. It's the Victoria Principal syndrome.

Wow, he looks just like his dad!

Sandra's real name was Alexandra and her granddaughter is Alexa. That must have meant a lot to her.

Well, in your defense, it is kind of blurry. :-)

I like the way I look in that picture.

She certainly was a beautful woman.

Did she ever remarry?

[mombonn]

Wow, waaaaaay too young!

[PISANO]

Hard to believe.......we are the same age.......I can't get her GIDGET movie out of my head.........where does the TIME GO?

God speed Ms. Dee and say HI to Bobby D.

A worrisome event for those of us who are 63.

Sandra Dee, in my mind, is forever young....

This is Sandra's 21st birthday party:

In that picture she looks like Shelley Long from Cheers.

If it makes you feel better to think that she deserved this then I certainly won't stand in your way, but she was one of the original Beach-Bikini-Bimbos that a guy would be happy to bring home to his mother's house; people die, you know and sometimes there isn't any need to question why.

I am the worst reprobate I know in my family and my wife's family and I just keep perking along like an old pot on the stove.

I never knew I was old until those clean-livers I grew up with started dying.

She died today, at the age of 62.

Field: Entertainment

Info: Starred in "Gidget", "A Summer Place", and other movies

[Lancey Howard]

You're thinking of 'The Nutty Professor' with Jerry Lewis and Stella Stevens.
Fred McMurray starred in 'The Absent-Minded Professor'.
In that movie he discovered a substance called "flubber".

[Old Professer]

Real life is like those movies; exactly like them since we pattern our lives after that which we admire or detest.

Thanks for the info. I'm happy that she liked it, and I'm sorry that she died so young.
