The song also earned Sandra second place at the Tokyo Music Festival in 1986. The follow-up single, 'In the Heat of the Night', continued her international success, reaching number two in Germany and top 10 positions in many European countries. Her first album, The Long Play (1985), reached number 12 in her home country of Germany and was a top 10 success in Scandinavia. Sandra won international success in 1985 with a song '(I'll Never Be) Maria Magdalena', which topped the charts in 21 countries worldwide and reached top 10 in further five. The single, however, performed poorly on charts at that time dominated by disco mania. The impromptu performance gained considerable recognition and led to the release of her first single, which was a children's song about a pet dog, 'Andy mein Freund'. She was only a member of the audience, but when all participants had finished performing and the jury was discussing the results, Sandra walked onto the stage, persuaded the DJ to put on the German version of a song made famous by Olivia Newton-John and started singing. In 1975, at the age of thirteen, Sandra went with her mother to see Young Star Festival, a Saarbrücken talent competition. Sandra showed an early interest in music and dancing, starting to learn classical ballet at the age of 5, which she would continue for ten years, and receiving guitar lessons when she was 10 years old. She also had an older brother, Gaston, a paraplegic who died in 1995. Her father, Robert Lauer, who owned a wine store in Saarbrücken, is French and her mother, Karin ( née Eltern), who worked in a shoe store, is German. That’s where I’m going to be for a while,” she added.Sandra Ann Lauer was born in the German town of Saarbrücken, close to the French border. “And I just want to be 24/7 with my babies and my family. The film icon also shared that committing to doing new films is a “24/7” job.

“I take my job very seriously when I’m at work,” she said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight in March 2022. While Sandra’s acting career has been nothing short of remarkable, the Oscar winner revealed that she planned on taking a step back from Hollywood to focus on her family. “They’re raising two great kids, and it’s a testament to both Sandra and Bryan’s down-to-earth parenting skills,” the insider explained. The Academy Award winner especially loves raising her children with her longtime boyfriend, Bryan Randall, whom the source noted is a great influence on Louis and Laila. “There’s not an ounce of brattiness, what you might expect from Hollywood kids, and that’s because Sandra is nothing but a mom to them.” “Louis and Laila are two of the most polite and well-behaved children I know,” the source added at the time.
