Sandra Caron

Sandra L. Cogan (27 August 1936 – 1 September 2025), known as Sandra Caron, was a British actress. Born in Stepney in east London, she trained at the Aida Foster Theatre School. She took her stage name in honour of Leslie Caron in part to avoid accusations that she was trading on the popularity of her sister, Alma Cogan, who The Guardian described in 2002 as "the most highly paid woman in British show business in the 1950s and 1960s". and appeared in the films The Bliss of Mrs. Blossom and Carry On Camping. She married American actor Brian Greene in 1985 and made her final on-screen appearance in Agony Again. She also appeared on the Channel 4 game show The Crystal Maze. and was performing Fifty Million Frenchmen at the Royal Opera House in London with Jessica Martin in June 2002. After hearing from Martin that the planned BBC Radio 4 series Stage Mother, Sequinned Daughter – which did not mention Caron but did depict Alma as a drunkard and their mother as overbearing – she consulted with her barrister cousin Sir Ivan Lawrence QC, who advised her to seek an injunction to halt its broadcast. The injunction was unsuccessful on the grounds that it did not devalue Cogan's estate, Caron moved with Greene to Los Angeles in 2015 and died at that city's Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on 1 September 2025, six weeks after being hospitalised following extreme weight loss and several falls. unless cited otherwise Title Year Role Not Only...
