I adored her.
the last time I saw her she was talking about her dogs , she has a sanctuary.

She looked exactly the same, with a little bit of aging.
that was about 10 years ago.

A new biography, "DORIS DAY: The Untold Story of the Girl Next Door" by David Kaufman, is scheduled to be published by Virgin Books USA in hardback on June 10, 2008 and is reputed to tell Day’s "incredible, previously untold story." This book, like a recent one by a former employee, is already proving controversial among Day's fans because of expected revelations.[9]

First film I saw her in was about a Shipboard Romance, but for the love of me I cant remember the name of it. It was her first film.
Thought how lovely she was then, and what a voice.Would have been about 1946 or so.

Thought Rock Hudson was something, so disappointed when I found out he was Gay.

Doris was born to German Catholic parents in 1924. She had a brother Richard, who died before she was born and Paul, a few years older than her. Her father and mother split when she was about eight. At twelve, she had a dance act with a boy called Jerry Doherty, with whom - after winning $500 in a talent contest - she went to Hollywood. On returning to Cincinatti, aged fourteen, Doris was in a terrible car crash which almost ended her dancing career.

At the age of sixteen, Doris then discovered that she could sing and began touring with the Les Brown Band, where she met Al Jorden, who she later married. Al turned out to be a violent man and soon after the birth of her son Terry in 1942, she initiated divorce proceedings. In 1946, after entertaining the troops for a couple of years, she met and married George Weidler, this liason lasted only eight months.

In 1948 she made her first film, "Romance On The High Seas". Whilst filming for Warner Brothers, she met Marty Melcher who became her agent and later on her 27th birthday her husband. In 1958 her brother Paul died and it was around this time that Marty started to make her sign to do films that she did not want to. This eventually led to Doris becoming ill from nervous exhaustion. By the time that Marty died in 1968, Doris was bankrupt and owed thousands of dollars, but she was eventually awarded $22 million by the Courts. She married for the fourth time in 1976 and since her divorce in 1980 has devoted her life to animals.

Son's name was Terry, He died in November 2004 he died from complications of melanoma (skin cancer), aged 62.

She has a son just can't recall his name at the moment

I loved all the Doris Day films, what a voice she had, can't find a recent picture of her on Google though.

Like this one SL ?

When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother, what will I be
Will I be pretty, will I be rich
Here's what she said to me.

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

When I was young, I fell in love
I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead
Will we have rainbows, day after day
Here's what my sweetheart said.

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother, what will I be
Will I be handsome, will I be rich
I tell them tenderly.

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

Once I had a secret love
That lived within the heart of me
All too soon my secret love
Became impatient to be free

So I told a friendly star
The way that dreamers often do
Just how wonderful you are
And why I'm so in love with you

Now I shout it from the highest hills
Even told the golden daffodils
At last my heart's an open door
And my secret love's no secret anymore

[Instrumental Interlude]

Now I shout it from the highest hills
Even told the golden daffodils
At last my heart's an open door
And my secret love's no secret anymore
