Michael Sands

Michael Sands (December 14, 1945) is a former fashion print model^[1] and actor,^[2] turned media consultant,^[3] representing clients such as President Reagan's son Michael Reagan,^[4] fashion guru Mr. Blackwell,^[5][6] Buffy the Vampire Slayer actress Kristy Swanson^[7] and Britney Spears' ex-husband Kevin Federline.^[8] Sands has acted in various roles, including in the Dennis DeYoung Music Video "Don't Wait for Heroes", and frequently discusses celebrity images in the national media.^{[9][10][11][12][13][14]} Through producing CelebrityDoctor.co in the late 1990s, Sands pioneered the trend for live TV/web screenings of face-lifts, most famously with Arabella Churchill.^[15][16]

Sands' work is unusual for straddling the worlds of security and entertainment. He told Fox News that the death of publicist Ronni Chasen sounded like a "hired hit job".^[17] When his client, the screenwriter Gary DeVore (screenwriter) went missing in 1997, Sands pushed the investigators to consider that DeVore had been involved with the government intelligence services and that his fate was somehow connected with this role. DeVore's body was finally found submerged in the Californian aqueduct - an apparent accident - and the tip-off came directly to Sands' office.^[18] Sands is an approved Department of Defense contractor and has worked with the CIA handling the entertainment industry and other areas^[19]. In 2011 he was approached by the Utah family of Wassef Ali Hassoun over a $1m book and movie deal about the Marine corporal charged with desertion who allegedly faked his own kidnapping in Iraq.^[20][21][22]
