![]() ![]() She married shortly after high school, then again in 1960. At birthdays, her parents outfitted her in silk dresses and cardigans and had her pose for photographs, smiling, near multitiered cakes, Gretchen standing at her side. As an only child, Sandy spent much of her time playing with her German shepherd Gretchen and tending to the horses on the property. She was born in 1938 to a Jewish mother and Italian father who operated a popular bakery downtown and eventually built an unassuming shingled house on a windy road called Rock Rimmon, to the north of the city. She spoke with a strange accent, a New YorkâNew England hybrid, and spent her entire life in Stamford, Connecticut. She applied bright-pink lipstick and copious amounts of bronzer. She wore it down below her shoulders, her bangs cut straight across. Throughout her life, Sandy Herold had long, straight hair so black it almost looked wet. ![]()
