In 1966 Sammy first met Monkee Micky Dolenz when he made a guest appearance on the show. Micky saw her first in the cafeteria before the show and said he just had to meet her. He set up a ploy to get her to meet him under the guise of some sort of American publicity promotion and after they met for the first time, they were never seen apart for weeks.
She gave up her stint on “Top of the Pops” and her modeling career in England to move to the states with Micky. Micky wrote one of the most famous Monkees songs, “Randy Scouse Git” about his whirlwind time in England and meeting Samantha.
They were married not long after and she gave birth to would-be actress Amy Dolenz (who played many minor characters in 80’s movies, starred on a soap opera and in the movie “She’s Out of Control”).
Micky and Sammy (who was extremely kind to fans) divorced in the late 70’s, sending Micky, who was already reeling from poor choices after leaving the Monkees, into a dark depression. Sammy is quoted as saying, "He was running around quite a bit, and I just didn’t want to become someone who was bitter." For Amy’s sake, and for their own, the two managed to remain friends throughout the years.
Sammy is now a successful writer of home how-to books in England and a breast cancer survivor who works for the cause to this day. On the relationship front, Sammy never remarried...Mick on the other hand...he's working on his 3rd marriage...his current to a perky blonde 30 year old named Donna...what a poo.
Currently, Sammy and Ami are working together making and selling original and antique jewelry. They even have some up on ebay, and it's pretty cool, so check it out....

(Ami's middle name is Bluebell...Micky attributes her middle name to the whole 60's hippie thing...heheh)
