Sandra Giles

Sandra Giles, born Lelia Bernice Giles, (July 24, 1932 – December 25, 2016) was an American actress and model. She was best known for her film debut role in Daddy-O in 1958.

Biography Giles was raised in Hooker, Oklahoma, but moved to Los Angeles with her mother, who had recently divorced. (Other sources say that she came from San Antonio, Texas, or that she was "born in Oklahoma and brought up in San Antonio, Tex.") Later described by The Hollywood Reporter and other critics as a "blond bombshell", Giles was discovered by a press agent while working at Canter's delicatessen, which began her career as an actress and model. Sylbert wrote that the production of the picture was made contingent on her being cast in the part, as it turned out she was the mistress of a top executive at Avco, the conglomerate that acquired Joseph E. Levine's Embassy Pictures in 1967.

She was married two times and had a daughter, singer Sandra Piller.

Death Giles died in Los Angeles from complications of bullous pemphigoid, an autoimmune disease affecting the skin, on December 25, 2016, at the age of 84. 1958: Daddy-O as Jana Ryan 1958: The Matchmaker as Older Beauty 1959: A Lust to Kill as Belle 1963: It Happened at the World's Fair as Lily (uncredited cameo) 1965: Black Spurs as Sadie's girl 1967: Border Lust 1969: Flareup as Nikki 1972: Black Gunn as Prostitute 1973: The Mad Bomber as Checkout Girl
