Sandal Bergman’s journey from a promising Broadway dancer to an iconic Hollywood star is a remarkable tale of talent and resilience. Known for her unforgettable role as Valeria in Conan the Barbarian,
Bergman captured global attention and earned a Golden Globe. Born in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1951, she began her performing career early, supported by her family and discovered by Tommy Tune during a high school performance.

Despite her success, Bergman’s film career slowed post-Conan, leading her to a quieter life, though she remains engaged with fans through sci-fi conventions. At 73, Sandal Bergman continues to be celebrated for her contributions to both stage and screen.
