Sandra Dee quotes:

I could run for Congress. Why not? Good heavens, if Ronald Reagan can be president, I ought to make a great secretary of the treasury.

The reviewers tear me apart. I bleed. I'm a favorite target. They go along for six months looking at movies, praying for rain, and then a new Sandra Dee movie comes out, and their eyes open, and they lick their lips. Before they've ever seen it.

My first year and a half in Hollywood, I did three films. Then in 1959, I was in 'Gidget,' 'Imitation of Life' and 'A Summer Place.' After that, I was a star. It was fun.

In December 1988, my mother died of lung cancer. I died too. I couldn't function.

Sometimes I feel like a has-been who never was.

Me, I'm good at nothing but walking on the set with a pretty dress.

I used to sign vouchers and sign-out sheets with 'Alexandra Dee.'

I don't know about making a passionate love story, even if it's appealing for an audience to see a husband and wife make love on the screen.
