Achieve At Any Age

It’s never too late to pursue your passions, acquire a new skill or discover new things about yourself and the world around you.

Achieve At Any Age

Sandy Saaiman, proud mother of three children Lee, Carey and local music artist and songwriter Chad – and grandmother to Summer – believes age is but a number. From raising a family to launching a successful corporate career and becoming a fashion-show organiser, she’s always followed her passions. She turned 65 this year, marking the occasion with a TV debut in local series Melody.

“I’ve always wanted to act and I would’ve made it happen regardless of my age. It was Friday, and I was in the hair salon, paging through the community newspaper, when I saw a notice the Bridgetown Theatre Company had posted. They were looking for actors to be a part of a series they were filming in Athlone. You had to be from surrounding areas such as Bridgetown, Crawford and Belthorn Estate. Seeing as I grew up in Sunnyside, I called them. But the newspaper I’d seen the ad in was old. “We’re quite far along,” said the man who answered. They’d already started their auditions months beforehand. But I said, “No. You have to see me.” So, he sent me the lines I needed to learn and asked me to audition the same day.
