She and Sonny live in a house in the Corleone Mall. After Sonny's death, she takes her children to live with her parents in Florida.
She is depicted as a large-breasted woman who immigrated from Italy as a child who does not enjoy sex with Sonny, due to his large penis. She is aware, and thankful, that he is unfaithful;. Sonny has a mistress, Lucy Mancini and they have a son, Vincent.
Sandra appears in a deleted scene in The Godfather Part II, trying to gain her brother-in-law Michael's blessing for her daughter Francesca's engagement. Michael approves but suggests that her fiance changes his college studies. In a deleted subplot, Sandra becomes Tom Hagen's mistress, a fact that Michael uses to blackmail Hagen into remaining loyal to the family, despite Sandra urging Hagen to abandon the Corleone family. In the final film, Hagen is depicted as having died years earlier.
