Sandy Descher is an American former child actress.
In 1954, a news item reported that Descher was "the only long-term contract child in Hollywood," having been signed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.[2]
That same year, she appeared in her favorite film, The Last Time I Saw Paris in which she plays Vicky. The film is based on F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story Babylon Revisited, and stars Van Johnson and Elizabeth Taylor, who play her parents. The movie called on her to speak French and to dance ballet.
Also in 1954, she played a disabled child in the Martin and Lewis film 3 Ring Circus. The same year she played the little girl in the opening scene of Them!, a horror movie featuring giant ants. In 1955, she was in The Prodigal with Lana Turner. Then she played Gregory Peck's 10-year-old daughter in The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit.
Her last movie, at the age of 12, was the cult favorite The Space Children (1958). In 1959, she appeared in the episode "Dark Morning" of CBS's anthology series, The DuPont Show with June Allyson. She guest-starred on The Real McCoys. In 1961, she appeared in the first season of My Three Sons, as Elizabeth Martin, a love interest for Robbie Douglas (Don Grady) in episode 32, "The Musician", and in 1964 again as Robbie's love interest in season five as Marjorie in episode 13 "You're in My Power".
