It (is) just like Sandra to want to live in Hollywood. Do I need to add "is" there?
I assume I should because there must be "to be". But I heard some people saying it without "is" and got worried. Could you please clarify it for me?

Maybe you heard It's just like Sandra... but is or it's must be there

We need "is" because it's the subject of the sentence. Sometimes native speakers when speaking might say "It's just like Sandra...." so it can be difficult to hear that they are using is (it's = it is). Some native speakers may also omit the verb in a sentence but this would be usually in very informal settings and is not considered grammatically correct. In any case, when writing we definitely need to use "is" or we can use the contraction "it's."

Yes, 'is' should be in there if you mean it in the context of Sandra's personality
