Sandra McCoy(I)
- Actress
Sandra McCoy was born and raised in San Jose, California. Her mother,
Madeline McCoy, was a high school P.E. teacher, tennis coach, and
aerobics instructor. Her father, Gary McCoy, was the director of
database management at the county Sherrif's Department and a private
pilot. Her brother, who was two years her junior, enjoyed playing
basketball and wrestling. All three passed away in the fall of 1993 in
a tragic airplane accident that left Sandra as the sole survivor.
Thanks to the values, aspirations, and love for life that her family
had instilled in her, Sandra managed to endure with flying colors. She
had trained in dance and gymnastics since she was eight years old, and
moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in show business after
attaining a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Santa Clara
University. Though her first attempt at Hollywood success, a four-girl
pop group, fell through, Sandra has continued to to enjoy several other
successes in the film industry as both an actress and a dancer. Her
first real break into the business was booking the lead role in the
NSYNC "Pop" music video, from which she will forever be known as the
"Dirty Pop" Girl. In addition, she also cheered for the Los Angeles
Lakers in the season of 2002-2003, and appeared in Music Video Beauties
of 2004, her calendar debut. She currently resides in Los Angeles
pursuing an acting career. In her spare time, Sandra enjoys hanging out
with her girlfriends, jogging, watching movies, doing volunteer work,
and eating chocolate!
