Farina surfaced in a coast-to-coast talent search in which Pepper director Michael Schultz interviewed some 1,500 women for the part of Strawberry Fields. In the funky tradition of dreams come true, Farina got her shot because a Stigwood executive happened to have his car serviced at a gas station owned by a friend of the Farinas. Besides the unleaded gas, he got a tape of Sandy. Impressed, he flew her to L.A. for an audition. “Her voice stood out,” explains Schultz of his eventual choice. “Also, she had a genuinely naive country look that none of the other girls had.” -People Magazine 8/21/78
