From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sandra Will Carradine (b. 1948) is an American film and television actress.

She is an ex-wife of actor Keith Carradine. They wed 6 February 1982, and had two children: Cade Richmond Carradine, born on July 19, 1982, and Sorel Johannah Carradine, born on June 18, 1985. They separated in 1993, and filed for divorce in 1999.

Their bitter divorce led to a scandal and a legal action in Los Angeles involving Hollywood private eye Anthony Pellicano, who gathered evidence to help with her divorce case, and with whom she was romantically involved. On January 6, 2006, she pleaded guilty to perjury for testifying that she did not know about illegal wiretaps that Pellicano placed on her ex-husband's phone. She faces sentencing of up to 10 years in prison, however, Pellicano claims she has been cooperating with authorities to the extent of spying on him during prison visits.
