1925年,3岁“触电”,在米高梅公司的多部默片中跑龙套,由于表现出色,不久就在系列儿童喜剧片《小顽童》中挑起大梁。 1931年,库珀主演喜剧片《淘哥儿》一炮走红,成为炙手可热的童星。他在片中的3段哭泣场面尤为受人称道,使他获得了奥斯卡最佳男主角提名,成为获得这一殊荣的年龄...

她拍过默片,演过几十年舞台剧,拍摄第二部电影的时候距离其电影处女作竟已二十五个年头,此后可用高产来形容。其间曾从好莱坞出逃,重回百老汇。六十年代重回大银幕,事业走向巅峰,《罗斯玛丽的婴儿》使73岁高龄的她成为奥斯卡和金球奖的双料最佳女配角;她除了拍戏,还写作剧本,凯瑟琳·赫本和史宾赛·屈赛主演的《亚当的肋骨》就出自她的笔手。
It would not be easy for anyone to out-do one of American theater's finest thespians, but somehow actress Sandy Dennis managed to even out-quirk the legendary Geraldine Page when it came to affecting nervous ticks and offbeat mannerisms on stage and in film. She and Page had few peers when it came to the neurotic-dispensing department. The two Actor's Studio disciples developed fascinating characterizations that seemed to manifest themselves outwardly to such physical extremes and, like a bad car accident, their overt stylings were capable of both drawing in, and repelling audiences. There was no grey area. Either way, both had a searing emotional range and were undeniably transfixing figures who held up Oscar trophies to prove there was a "Method" to their respective madness. Sandy's signature quirks - her stuttering, fluttering, throat gulps, eye twitches, nervous giggles, hysterical flailing - are all a part of what made her so distinctive and unforgettable. Her untimely death of cancer at age 54 robbed the entertainment industry of a remarkable talent.
