Sandra Dee, who at the height of her fame in the 1960s was arguably the biggest female teen idol of her time, has died, leaving a legacy of film roles that includes Gidget and Tammy and the Doctor. She was Gidget, and she was Tammy, and for a time she was young America's ideal, film historian Leonard Maltin once said of her. Dee married another pop icon, singer Bobby Darin. Dee died of complications Sunday morning from kidney disease at the Los Robles Hospital & Medical Center in Thousand Oaks, her family said. She was 62. Steve Blauner, a longtime family friend who represents Darin's estate, said Dee had been hospitalized for nearly two weeks. She had been on dialysis for about four years, Blauner said.
