Sandra has been slowly making her way back into the entertainment business and the public eye since

August 2023, when her longtime partner

Bryan Randall died of ALS.

A source told Us Weekly that Sandra is

“excited about the future” and “ready to play again.”

The last time Sandra was seen was on

July 12 in Beverly Hills, smiling at the photographers.

She turned 60 on July 26.

Sandra stopped acting after saying in March 2022 that she would be taking a break.

She was in over 50 movies, including

“Miss Congeniality” and “The Blind Side.”

Sandra is now set to star with N

icole Kidman in Practical Magic 2, the follow up to the cult classic Practical Magic.

Someone who knows Sandra said that she is

“really excited” about the project and can’t wait to spend time with Nicole.

Sandra is “open to the possibility”

of dating again in the future,

but she is still focused on her kids and getting better after Bryan’s death.

She is slowly getting back to the life and career she loves, even though it has been hard at times
