Sunny Sandler

Actor

The daughter of Jewish actor Adam Sandler, actor Sunny Sandler starred in her father's hit 2023 film, "You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah." In the comedic coming-of-age story, best friends Stacy (played by Sunny) and Lydia (Samantha Lorraine) are planning epic bat mitzvah parties but their plans — and friendship — get derailed by a popular boy in their Hebrew school named Andy Goldfarb (Dylan Hoffman), who Lydia kisses even though she knew Stacy had a crush on him. "It was the best," director Sammi Cohen said about making the movie with the entire Sandler family. "The Sandlers made me part of the family. It was this really beautiful thing where everyone had space to do their own thing, but always had support when they needed it. There's a natural chemistry you get with the Sandlers that makes everything feel real and slice-of-life." (Photo: YouTube screenshot)
