In 1960, she married Bobby Darin, but her career slowed as the '60s progressed. Despite a quieter career, the 1978 musical Grease made her famous among the younger generation. Sandra battled health issues, including throat cancer and kidney failure, and passed away in 2005.

Did Sandra Dee have grandchildren?

The late actress has two granddaughters, Alexa and Olivia Darin, courtesy of her only son's marriage to Audrey Tannenbaum.

Of the two, Olivia has been praised for having most of her grandmother's physical features. But then, she did not see much of Sandra because she was about four years old when the late model passed away.

Olivia Darin may not have had the chance to have deep conversations with her grandmother, whom she looks so much like. However, she is inspired by the late actress' success in the entertainment industry.
