A Tony Award nominee for best actress in a musical, she also starred in 'Man of La Mancha' and appeared as the Penguin's moll on 'Batman.'
Julie Gregg, who played the wife of James Caan's character Sonny Corleone in the first two Godfather films, has died. She was 79.
Gregg died Monday at her home in Van Nuys, Calif., after a long battle with cancer, her niece Lisa Scalzo told The Hollywood Reporter.
Gregg received a Tony Award nomination for best featured actress in a musical for starring as Laurie Mannon in the 1968 production The Happy Time, directed by Gower Champion and featuring music by Kander & Ebb.
Gregg played Sandra Corleone in The Godfather (1972) and The Godfather: Part II (1974) and portrayed Don Quixote's niece Antonia in Arthur Hiller's Man of La Mancha (1972), starring Peter O'Toole and Sophia Loren.
In 1966, Gregg modeled a succession of bathing suits as Finella, the blond moll of the Penguin (Burgess Meredith), in the first-season Batman two-parter in which the cagey bird kidnaps and brainwashes the butler Alfred (Alan Napier).
She also played Miss Canary Islands opposite Otto Preminger as Batman villain Mr. Freeze in season two and appeared as a chanteuse singing the French love song "Plaisir D'Amour" in a cabaret scene in Batman: The Movie (1966).
In the 1970s, Gregg had recurring roles on two short-lived series: Banyon, starring Robert Forster, and Mobile One, toplined by Jackie Cooper. Her TV résumé also included McHale's Navy, The Farmer's Daughter, Mannix, Bonanza, Baretta, The Incredible Hulk, B.J. and the Bear and Falcon Crest.
Born in New York on Jan. 24, 1937, Gregg, then known as Beverly Scalzo, graduated from USC, where she received a music scholarship.

suggestive hand motions with her friends at Connie's wedding? And was she
actually in the Godfather II, as the article states? I don't remember her,
and Wikipedia only mentions her in connection to deleted scenes.

the woman sharing her surprise with Sonny's...umm...endowment with the
other bridesmaids at the reception.
Not that you asked, but when asked what my favorite movie is I always
bounce back and forth between these two movies. One time it's the
original, next time it's the sequel. For me, they're the best films I
have ever seen.
From http://www.thegodfathertrilogy.com/gf1/transcript/gf1transcript.html
The Godfather
SONNY: Hey Sandra, do me a favor, huh; watch the kids -- don't let'em
run wild, all right?
SANDRA: Well, you watch yourself, all right?
--------------------------------------------------
CUT TO: Sonny's house just after talking to Michael on the phone. Sonny
hangs up. -night
SANDRA: (sadly hugging Sonny)
Oh my God...
[there's a loud crash heard OS from outside the house]
SANDRA: (as the baby, Santino Jr, starts to cry)
Oh! Sonny!
----------------------------------------------------
CUT TO: The Don's bedroom. Vito Corleone is being visited by family
members. -day
SONNY'S TWIN DAUGHTER
I love you, Grandpa.
SANDRA: (carrying a crying Santino Jr)
I'm sorry, Pa -- he doesn't know you yet.
----------------------------------------------------
CUT TO: Kitchen, as Mama and others prepare dinner -day
SANDRA: (background)
...you want all of that chicken cacciatore for you, sweetheart?
(then, to Connie, who's cutting bread)
Oh, hey, that's enough bread!
CONNIE: (background)
But I like bread!
SANDRA: Oh I know, but how much can you eat? (background)
-------------------------------------------------------
CUT TO: The Don's kitchen. Mama Corleone answers the phone with a
Santino Jr in her
arms, who's crying loudly. -day
MAMA: (into phone, as baby cries)
Connie, what's a' matter -- I can't hear you, what is it? Connie, talk
louder -- the baby's
crying.
(then, as Sonny comes in)
Santino, I can't understand -- I don't know -- I don't understand 'er...
SONNY: (towards Sandra who's trying to calm the baby)
Shhhh
(then, into the phone just before the baby screams)
Yeah, Connie...
CONNIE'S VOICE: (on the phone, barely audible)
Carlo... -?- ...now don't you come...
SONNY: (into the phone)
Listen -- you wait there.
CONNIE: (over the phone, barely audible)
SONNY: No no -- you just wait there!
(then, irate, hanging up the phone)
Sonofabitch.
MAMA: What's the matter?
SONNY: (as he leaves the kitchen)
Sonofabitch!
MAMA: What's the matter?
SONNY: (OS)
Sonofa...
SANDRA: (going after him)
Sonny...?

The Godfather II
If it wasn't so late I would copy-and-paste the references from the
second film, but here is the link:
http://www.awesomefilm.com/script/godfather2.html
I used the FIND option under EDIT on the browser toolbar. There's
supposed to be 25 references to Sandra Corleone.
