- Birth nameSandra Lyons
- Sandi Foxx was born in Manhattan. An only child, Foxx grew up in the Riverdale neighborhood of the Bronx and attended an all-girls school. Following graduation from high school, Sandi went on to attend the City College of New York, where she was both a history and sociology major before eventually dropping out. Foxx got married at age twenty-one, but soon divorced her husband after she found out that he had cheated on her with another woman. Sandi worked for a while at a Catholic publishing firm doing bookkeeping and accounting clerical work (she ultimately was fired from this particular job). Foxx became involved in the swinger scene in New York City in the early 1970's. Sandi befriended several people in the burgeoning East Coast adult film industry around this time and appeared in her first hardcore movie in 1974. Among the notable porn directors that Foxx appeared in X-rated features for are Roberta Findlay, Joseph W. Sarno, Armand Weston, Carter Stevens, Doris Wishman, and Shaun Costello. Moreover, Sandi ran a talent agency for adult film performers in the late 1970's with her close friend Darby Lloyd Rains. Foxx decided to call it quits with her talent agency after she had a nasty run-in with the IRS and subsequently got a job working in an office as well as got married to her second husband.- IMDb Mini Biography By: woodyanders & Ashley West - The Rialto Report

- Featured on the back cover photo of the book "10 1/2" about popular East Coast porn actor Marc Stevens.
- [on Marc Stevens] He was a weird and crazy guy. Everyone says Marc was gay but I really think he was bisexual. I never felt like he didn't enjoy sex with a woman. He was fun though. He was up for everything and anything.
- [on acting in porn movies] I hated acting! I'm a terrible actress. That was not my thing. I just ... I couldn't ... Some of the things were so ridiculous you want to laugh instead of delivering the lines. The sex was fine but the acting was not my thing. I never pretended it was.
- [on doing porn in the mid-1970's] It was a hand to mouth existence. All of us were looking for the next job while working on the current one. We did fill-in jobs like still photo spreads, or stripping for cash at parties. This was the era when men's magazines started to emerge, like High Society and Cheri. If you got a nice photo spread in High Society, it could help you command more money on a film set, especially if you were a new actor or actress. Many actresses did escort work on the side. It was sex for money without anyone recording the deed. It was faster and could pay better than films. The working conditions were generally a nice hotel room, and a speedy exit for the gal or guy escort.
- [on Jamie Gillis] An A+ actor. And very kinky. He was up for anything. Anything. Guys, girls, S&M. There were no limits. I was told several stories about young ladies who went home with him, and so I made sure I never did. I'm not into getting screwed with my head in the toilet bowl!
- [on Darby Lloyd Rains] Terrific gal. She was a professional nightclub singer, and she had a self confidence and an air about her. She's a born performer. A super-professional. We hit it off.
