Biography
Sandra Giles, born Lelia Bernice Giles, was an American actress and model. She grew up in Hooker, Oklahoma, and later moved to Los Angeles, where she studied dramatics at Los Angeles City College. A press agent discovered her while she was working at Canter's delicatessen, which led to her careers in acting and modeling. Her best-known role came in her film debut, as Jana Ryan in Daddy-O (1958), in which her character beat Dick Contino's character in a drag race. That same year she also appeared in Lost, Lonely and Vicious, A Lust to Kill, and The Matchmaker, and she showed her dancing in Lost, Lonely and Vicious. Her later film work included Black Spurs (1965), Flareup (1969), and Black Gunn (1972). She also made guest appearances on television series such as Columbo and The Odd Couple. The Hollywood Reporter and other critics described her as a blond bombshell, and a Life Magazine spread helped bring her publicity.
