It was an exciting time in
her young life, and perhaps it was seeing her mother up on stage
that influenced her to become a performer herself. When Sandra was
eight, she had her first taste of a stage performance when she played
the role of a gypsy child in a play with her mother. Her mother
Helga says that by the time Sandra was in sixth grade, she had already
set her mind on acting.
Sandra's family moved back
to the United States when she was around ten years old. Sandra was
an ugly duckling, and was teased mercilessly by her schoolmates.
Instead of becoming resentful however, she vowed she would never
treat anyone the way she had been treated, and her generous and
kind qualities manifest themselves in both her personal and professional
lives.
Sandra went on to become
a cheerleader at Washington Lee High, being voted "Most Likely
to Brighten Your Day" by her senior class. After high school
graduation, she continued her education, at East Carolina University,
where she majored in Drama. During this time, she helped support
herself by entering and winning dance contests, a passion that has
stayed with her. Sandra dances at every possible opportunity, and
it has been said that if she ever gave up acting, she could easily
take up dance as a second professional career. After graduation
from East Carolina, it was off to New York with her life savings,
dog and meager possessions to seek her career.
Sandra bartender and waitressed
between auditions and acting classes. Her persistence finally paid
off when she got the lead in the off-Broadway play "No Time
Flat". Sandra received glowing reviews for her work in the
off-Broadway play, and this led to the TV movie "The Bionic
Showdown", opposite Lindsay Wagner. The only worthwhile things
that came from this work, was the professional experience and an
Actors Guild union card. Sandra moved to Los Angeles where she got
the role of a spunky cop in the Sylvester Stallone sci-fi action
film, "Demolition Man". This was a role that drew the
attention of director Jan De Bont, who cast her in the hit movie
"Speed", practically making her an overnight success.
The two mega hits, "The
Net" and "While You Were Sleeping" followed, sending
Sandra on a skyrocket ride to A-list status and a hefty increase
in her paycheck. The success of these films made it possible for
her to start her own cinema production company, Fortis Films. Sandra
appointed her sister Gesine, a graduate law student as executive
vice-president, and her father John, as her business advisor.
