Uncommonly early vintage inscribed blue ballpoint pen signature on a 2.5 x 6-inch light green autograph album page, acquired in-person in 1961, when she was just 19 years old! In good condition. Sunny Sandra Dee was memorable in films like Until They Sail (1957), The Reluctant Debutante (1958), Gidget (1959), Imitation of Life (1959), A Summer Place (1959), Come September (1961), That Funny Feeling (1965), and The Dunwich Horror (1970). Typically cast as innocent ingenues, her image suffered a major blow in 1967, when she divorced crooner Bobby Darin. She barely worked afterward and died of kidney disease at the age of 62.
