Sandra Giles

Lelia Bernice Giles


   American born actress Sandra Giles was born in 1932 in Hooker Oklahoma. Sandra ran away from home at the age of twelve and later came to California to be with her divorced mother. While working at Canter's delicatessen in Los Angeles she got noticed by press agent Shelly Davis. Sandra started her acting career in the movie titled 'The Matchmaker'. The studios were molding her acting to be the next Marilyn Monroe for the studios as she had the look and the figure for a "Blonde bombshell" (She sometimes had 'red hair' too.) Sandra dated many actors including Elvis Presley, Omar Sharif and Frank Sinatra. Danced in a few Rock and Roll/ Cult films doing West Coast Swing / Jitterbug in the movies titled 'Daddy-O and Lost, Lonely and Vicious.' Was the model for the Las Vegas 'Fremont Hotel "lady of chance" portrait painted by Phillip paval in 1956.

   Was named "Miss 8-Ball" by the Los Angeles Press Club in December, 1956. Sandra boasts she had a Pink 1957 T-Bird and that the interior was Pink Mink and exterior was covered in synthetic Pink Fur. Sandra is a lovely lady who avidly promoted West Coast Swing dancing along with Leba Shana who headed up the 'shows' for Sandra in the Hollywood and Beverly Hills area of southern California and you almost always saw a Hollywood movie star hanging out with her as well at her dance socials. Sandra hosted weekly dances in the southern California area from the early 1980's almost till she passed. Sandra died peacefully on Christmas day in 2016.
