Sandra Dee's Age.
If Sandra Dee was born in 1942, and, this Movie was released in 1959, then that would have made Her around 16, or 17 yrs. old. She had the Body of an 11 yr. old, look how that Swim Suit fit on Her, She had no Figure.
shareHer chest developed at a fairly early age and her abusive parents insisted on taping it down. She was under a lot of pressure to not put on weight. One way or another she wasn't allowed to have curves and relied mainly on her face and acting ability early in her career.
Wow.
shareSandra Dee was anorexic for most of her life. She began her career as a child model in New York, and yes her mother taped her chest down. But she began developing early (before she was even 10 years old) because her stepfather was molesting her.
I don't think you meant to imply that the molestation made her breasts grow. Her step father was evil and her mother criminal in letting him get away with it, and the manipulative way she used Sandra.
shareSandra even said herself that the sexual activity that was forced upon her may have had a part in why she hit puberty so early. Her stepfather was raping her, so it's certainly possible. And she started menstruating quite early too.
I agree, her mother was complicit and later denied everything. It was different time, women didn't have as much freedom and opportunities as today, but I still don't know how any mother could not protect her child. It's disgusting.
It is disgusting. Her mother was seriously disturbed.
Mag, Darling, you're being a bore.
