Such a nice lady R.I.P. The world needs more people like her
I knew her a little when I was in high school, kids teased her something bad on the bus. she was a sweet person.
That's totally wrong...That must of really broke her heart 💔
I knew Sandy when she appeared at Adie's Fantastic Facts and Feats in Wildwood, NJ, during the summer of 1978. The theater was located in the Boardwalk Mall. I was 11 years old at the time, and I spent that entire summer in Wildwood. I can remember walking throughout the Mall with Sandy sometimes, along with other friends, while she wasn't working. As kids, we had the privilege to just hang out with Sandy outside of her show. She truly was very polite, funny, and had such an upbeat attitude on life.
That’s cool I never got the chance to meet her, but what is it like hanging out with someone 7’7
She was really a gorgeous lady in the 60's & 70's, in her teens & 20's. She used to wear glasses way back then. She was very pretty then.
I'd wish she was still alive...RIP Sandy, you will be missed.
This is lady cracks good jokes left and right.
She had a good sense of humor. Rip giant
can u imagine the size of her hands or her hugging someone she was a towering giant miss u mrs sandy
She's in Heaven now! And I'm sure she's no longer a Giantess. But if she is, that's OK, she's not in pain
and she's with tons of people who love her very much 🕊🕊✝✝❤❤🎶🎶✨✨
Amen Gary!!
What a beautiful lady.
i knew her my grandma was friends with her she was such a nice person
Sandy Allen, una gran existencia, también en lo espiritual...
it's funny how giants like her are always so nice n kind and loving
0:35 I love the shots of her teaching at schools in the 90's, it's so nostalgic. I was in elementary school in 97' and would have adored if she came to speak at our school.
Her" It's okay to be different" video is currently uploaded on UA-cam. You might want to check it out while it lasts.
R.I.P Sandy Allen!
I'd ever took a pic with her in 1997 ^.^
Thank sandy.
Rip sandy Allen the lovely sweet lady 😢 🌹🌹🌹
I met Sandy when i was younger she was nice
Incredible woman
She's from my town.
Well, she did have a bad curvature of her spine when she walked. That started back in the late 80's. And all those other health problems caused her to stoop. So, she does look a few inches shorter than her normal 7'7 1/4"...
Woah she was really pretty when she younger!
AmberFaithChloe yes she was in school . we all loose our lookswhen we get older lol
Hi Matthew - I am working on a documentary film that mentions Sandy - any chance there is an original copy of the video clip somewhere?
This is old.Sh ehed that special van towards the end.R.I.P
where did she live in Niagara Falls Canada
After her death, a guy in an interview said he (& others) helped move her into her apartment on Simcoe St. in Niagara Falls Canada. According to Google maps, there are several apartment buildings on the street (the area might've changed some since the 70s). Hope that helps you out some.
@@trueshy I was told she lived in my building. wonder which unit...( lord simcoe apt)
Yes Rose. It was her dying wish to stay as far away from a Trump presidency as possible. Luckily, she got her wish.
She is my 10 cousin
She is my aunt
@@wickitywackjack3749 she had one brother, Mike, who’s now passed. He had no kids. So that’s false
@@rivermarie8500 You should try to et your facts straight there RM. Sandy had another brother & a sister so she was 1 of 4 kids altogether(by all of them having the same mom). She first met her sister when she turned 18 & got her license. It was 1 of the first things she did when she had wheels was to go meet her sister in another town. They were very close & they would meet as often as they could but the sister lived in Florida & Sandy was all over the place (Canada, Indiana, etc.) Sandy has said in interviews that she wasn't close with her other brother (just the younger one Mike). Are you related to Sandy by her sister then Kloey?
@@trueshy I’m going based off what my mom had told me. She’s my aunt/god mother. Mike was my god father. I knew Mike was her brother but as far as sisters my momma told me nothing about that
No I thought she was my aunt but she is my cousin down the line
She's an ocean of mass.
@Baby Girl yes she is she's a Giant
J'ai 21 ans
Je chausse du 43
Je pèse 58 kilogrammes
Je mesure 1 mètres 75
She's not tied for tallest person. George Bell in US is 7'8 and there are 2 8'1 men in the world
if she had lived another 10 years or more she may have really been a giant maybe 8 ft tall or more and she was big not just tall a walkin giant
She stopped growing when she was 22 at 7'7. She wouldn't have gotten to 8 ft
Sandy was 6lb 5oz at birth
She had (sorry)
Tallest woman not man.
she was the giant of all giants
where can you find her book? I loved watching things about her...
