Quotes

“[voice over] Momma was right about music. It opened a whole new world to me, outside of time and illness. The world I could live in.”
“[voice over] Soon I would be old enough to head to New York, but momma had one more lesson to teach.”
“I gotta prove I can sing, I want it all. I want the major leagues. I want nightclubs, Vegas, movies, TV. This album will make it happen all fast, faster than you can imagine.”
“[voice over] Sandy and I just got off on the wrong foot. If I could just get her away from her mother. I mean just imagine: Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee. That's it. I'm gonna start all over, like we've never met. Only this time, I'll romance her the best way I know.”
“[to Sandra Dee] You know, I was right about you. You're gonna be easy to love.”
“May I have this dance, Miss Sandra Dee?”

Walden Robert Cassotto (May 14, 1936 – December 20, 1973), known by the stage name Bobby Darin, was an American singer, songwriter, and actor who performed pop, swing, folk, rock and roll and country music.

Darin started his career as a songwriter for Connie Francis. In 1958, Darin co-wrote and recorded his first million-selling single, "Splish Splash", which was followed by Darin's own song "Dream Lover", then his covers of "Mack the Knife" and "Beyond the Sea", which brought him worldwide fame. In 1959, Darin was the inaugural winner of the Grammy Award for Best New Artist and also won a Record of the Year for "Mack the Knife" at the 2nd Annual Grammy Awards. Three years later, Darin won a Golden Globe Award for his first film, Come September, co-starring his first wife, actress Sandra Dee.
