Hot dog! If you give yourself some time to dig, you never know what you'll turn up.

According to Sandra Warner's IMDB page, she was uncredited as 'Emily,' a member of Sweet Sue's all-girl band, in the Tony Curtis, Marilyn Monroe film Some Like It Hot. Grace Lee Whitney, best known as Yeoman Janice Rand in the original Star Trek, was also an uncredited member of Sweet Sue's band in the movie.

When the US Postal Service unveiled the Marilyn Monroe postage stamp, they reunited Tony Curtis with the remaining members of Sweet Sue's band. So, guess what shows up on page 187 of Grace Lee Whitney's book, The Longest Trek: My Tour of The Galaxy: A photo of that reunion circa 1995! Here's that photo. Sandra Warner's on the far right:

More digging revealed discovery of an extra on the Some Like It Hot Collector's Edition DVD: "Memories of The Sweet Sues," in which Warner, circa 2001, reminisces about her time in the production of the movie. So people wanting to see modern video of Sandra Warner need only rent Some Like It Hot.

Even more digging reveals Ms Warner once again reminiscing about the movie in this Facebook blog entry from The Egyptian Theater when they hosted a 50th Anniversary showing of Some Like It Hot. Included with the blog is this photo of the Sweet Sues again, circa 2009. Warner is the one in white.

So, in answer to the question "Whatever happened to Sandra Warner ?," we can say that she's still around and, hopefully, still collecting residuals checks from all the work she's done over the years.
