Sandra Dee, the perennially perky, blond-haired and blue-eyed actress who helped American teenagers of the late 1950's and early 1960's cope with the frustrations of adolescent romance and the temptations of premarital sex, died yesterday at the Los Robles Hospital and Medical Center in Thousand Oaks, Calif.

Sandra Dee was one of the most appealing and extraordinarily gifted young performers to grace the silver screen in the late '50s and through the '60s.
Her real talent was never recognized at the time for what it truly was, for she brought to the screen a freshness, a wholesomeness and an innocence which endeared her to everyone, but which was also taken for granted at the time as being standard for young girls.
