2. Which of the following was Sandra Dee's film debut?

Answer: Until They Sail

She made her film debut in 1957's "Until They Sail" which also starred Jean Simmons, Joan Fontaine and Paul Newman. It is the story of the loves and disappointments of four sisters in New Zealand during WWII.

Answer: Come September

They made a total of three films together: "Come September" in 1961, "If A Man Answers" in 1962, and "That Funny Feeling" in 1965. Dee and Darin were married from 1960-1967 and had one son, Dodd. He has written a book about his parents entitled "Dreamlovers".

Answer: Hayden Rorke

She made three films each with Bobby Darin and John Saxon, and two films with Troy Donahue. She and Hayden Rorke were in four films together: "The Restless Years" in 1958, "A Stranger In My Arms" in 1959, "Tammy Tell Me True" in 1961, and "I'd Rather Be Rich" in 1964.

In case you're wondering who in the world Hayden Rorke is, he's best known for playing Dr. Bellows on the television show "I Dream Of Jeannie".

5. Sandra Dee made a film in which her character was unwed and pregnant.

Answer: True

The film was "Doctor, You've Got To Be Kidding" and was released in 1967. She plays a singer/secretary with three suitors, but none of them are the father of her baby. This film did not do well for her but I think it's entertaining and she looks radiant.

6. In which of the following films did Sandra Dee NOT play opposite John Gavin?

Answer: Portrait In Black

Sandra Dee played opposite John Saxon in "Portrait In Black". Released in 1960, this film was about murder and blackmail. It was a far cry from the light, breezy comedies she made later. She did make the other three movies with John Gavin.

7. In which film did Sandra Dee appear with one of "The Brady Bunch" boys?

Answer: If A Man Answers

Christopher Knight, who played Peter Brady on "The Brady Bunch" television show, appeared in "If A Man Answers" as a boy named Richard. This was his film debut.

8. Who played Sandra Dee's father in the film "A Summer Place"?

Answer: Richard Egan

"A Summer Place" was released in 1959, and dealt with adultery and (gasp) pre-marital sex. It was very racy for its time. Constance Ford played Dee's mother, and Dorothy McGuire played her stepmother.

9. What was the name of Sandra Dee's character in "The Restless Years"?

Answer: Melinda Grant

She played outcast Melinda Grant whose illegitimacy has marked her in the small town where she lives. She befriends new kid in school Will Henderson (John Saxon) and when their friendship turns into love, the gossip nearly ruins them. "The Restless Years" was released in 1958, and her mother was played by Luana Patten.

10. Sandra Dee made "Portrait In Black" with Lana Turner. What other film did they make together?

Answer: Imitation Of Life

"Imitation Of Life" was released in 1959, and was a remake of 1934's "Imitation Of Life", which starred Claudette Colbert. Lana Turner portrays Sandra Dee's mother. The film also starred Juanita Moore and Susan Kohner.
