I’m going to be seriously pissed if I have that song from _Grease_ in my head all day.

I hope she’s at peace now. I think her story is one of the saddest ones in show business. Check out “Dream Lovers” by Dodd Darrin (son of Bobby Darrin & Dee). Family breadwinner by 7, sexually abused by her stepfather for years. Alcohol & massive food issues. Truly sad.

I definitely will, since there is also a thread called “Cook Like Me, I’m Sandra Dee” in MPSIMS.

Actually, it’s MY thread right here in CS, and had I known at all that the real Ms. Dee had passed on, I would have chosen a different thread title. :smack:
