Sandra Mozarowsky

A thinly-veiled, apparently very specific explanation of the events from an unofficial point of view is offered in Escrito en un libro, authored under pen name Tom Farrell—shared by Kevin Costner's character in No Way Out, ostensibly a nod to the circumstances surrounding the death of Sean Young's character in that film. According to this book the assault on an actress, called "Sara Wagnerowski" and pregnant with the King's child (Juan Carlos and his family do appear with their names intact), was orchestrated by one "Néstor Colomer, Barón de Andújar" (arguably a fictionalized version of Nicolás Cotoner, Marquess of Mondéjar, chief of the Royal House at the time). According to this version, "Andújar" arranged the ambush with the intent of causing the actress a miscarriage but the injuries sustained in her defenestration were too serious. The story draws heavily from what seems to be a first-hand account of a rookie Royal House security staff member. This confidante allegedly stood near the woman's street level doorstep and witnessed her fall minutes after his immediate supervisor accompanied two other men (speculated to be Marseillais or South European thugs on a shady payroll) upstairs to her flat.

Sandra Mozarowsky fell off her fourth-floor balcony, spent twenty-two days in vegetative coma and finally succumbed to her severe injuries on September 14, 1977. Her death was officially ruled to be suicide, but some news reported she was watering flowers at the time of her fall, which took place around 4AM.

Mozarowsky's death was featured in the September 1977 issue of tabloid Garbo, wherein personal friend Inma de Santis said that her death was not simply a consequence of her obsession to be thin—she did want to lose weight—but she didn't think that Mazarowsky was fat, "because the type of films being made in this country requires you to do these things". De Santis blamed the profession for this. All Mozarowsky ate in a day, she alleged, was a banana with a cup of tea. She also took pills to kill her appetite, plus other pills for her mood.

Sandra Mozarowsky was born in Tangier, Morocco to a Russian father and Spanish mother. In 1969 she made her film debut in Spain, in El otro árbol de Guernica (The Other Tree of Guernica), when she was ten years old, acting alongside Inma de Santis. Until her death in 1977, Sandra was one of the "Lolitas" of the coproduced Spanish Genre and "exploitation" cinema of the late seventies. Sandra's film credits include La noche de las gaviotas - the fourth and final film in the Blind Dead series, El colegio de la muerte (School of Death), Cuando el cuerno suena (When the Horn Sounds), Beatriz, and Call Girl: La vida privada de una señorita (Call Girl: The Private Life of a Lady Well).
