Modeling and music[]
Sandra Warner was the cover girl on Martin Denny's 1957 album Exotica, which reached no.1 in the Billboard charts, and on the album's first 11 sequels. Denny recalled, "She was a stunning model, extremely photogenic. She posed for at least the first dozen albums I did. They always changed her looks to fit the mood of the package."[2] She also appeared as cover girl for other artists such as Mickey Katz's The Most Mishige.[3]
In 1959 Warner released Steve Allen Presents Sandy Warner: Fair & Warner, one of a series of albums presented by Steve Allen, for which Martin Denny wrote the liner notes. The album was rereleased by in 2014 Edberg & Smith Records with the title Crazy Kisses.
