Tonight, my heart is broken I have just found out that Sandra Warner passed away. Not only that, but she passed away 13th March 2022 age 87.

Looking through the archives, it wasn’t posted here at the time and I’m just so sorry for her friends and family that this news didn’t reach the Marilyn community sooner, as I’m sure we would have all showered her memory with love.

Sandy Warner was an actress, model, dancer, and singer, born on May 12, 1934, in Middletown, New York, as Sandra Faye Warner. She was one of a pair of identical twins who were born to a Broadway stage electrician and his ex-dancer wife, Edna Robie.

At five, they sang on local New York radio. “From then on,” Sandra said, “I was hooked on show business. My parents never tried to pushme: they just tried to keep up. They were wonderfully generous with time, patience encouragement —and money.”

At New York’s High School of Performing Arts, Sandra studied music, drama, and dance, in addition to the usual scholastic curriculum. After graduation, Sandra and Sonia they began performing as a dancer duo. After a lengthy tour of hospitals for the American Theater Wing, in 1949, played at Loew and RKO vaude houses. Their biggest hit happened in 1953, when as the Warner Twins they toured for a year with Danny Kaye’s International Show.

Beginning in 1956, when they matured artistically and amazed
