Anna Sandor Dead: ‘Hangin’ In,’ ‘Miss Rose White’ TV Writer Was 76

Anna Sandor, who co-created the long-running CBC series Hangin’ In and earned an Emmy nomination for writing the lauded 1992 NBC telefilm Miss Rose White , starring Kyra Sedgwick and Amanda Plummer, has died. She was 76.

Sandor died Nov. 1 of complications from melanoma at Scripps Green Hospital in La Jolla, California, her family announced.

“She was spunky and she was sharp,” her daughter, Rachel Sandor Stone, said. “She was strong-willed, warm and kind, but unfiltered. And she was selfless. One of the last things she said to the palliative care team before she passed was that everyone has a story; the vp of a bank and a homeless person both have stories worth learning.”
