A free piece of internet advice (comes with a money back gar-en-tee) - If you are 55 and older, talk to your doc about getting a pneumonia vaccine. It is the FIFTH leading cause of death for seniors.

As a teenager, growing up in the sixties, I thought she and her movies were square and out of touch with reality. I’ve grown to admire her and her accomplishments as time went by. Oh yeah, and one heck of a great singer.

One of my all time favorites. I grew up on Doris Day movies, she was talented and gorgeous.

I was wondering why I was not seeing a bigger deal made of Doris Day’s passing. I saw nothing about it on Drudge or Fox.
Then I realized that the majority of people online are not old enough to have made a strong bond with Doris, or other actors of that era. Doris, like host Johnny Carson retreated from the spotlight right after retirement. If you didn’t know about her 30 years ago, chances are, you never would now.

Paul McCartney became a good friend of Doris back in the 60’s. There are things about life that only another extremely
famous person would know, firsthand. They had that bond.

Doris was quite a good singer too.
Semi-bluesy when she wanted to be. Sort of like Adelle is now.

It sounds like she lived a rather lonely life in her later years. Sad for such a lovely and vivacious lady.

I am sad today about the death of Doris Day, one of my all time favorite actor/singers. She was so wholesome and her movies are all good. I just watched Calamity Jane for the first time a few weeks ago. She was the personification of grace and class. When I was a child, I had an album of hers and I would play it on my little portable record player over and over. This song was on it and I would sing along. It's from the 1958 movie Teacher's Pet, a romantic comedy with Day, Clark Gable and Gig Young which has become a favorite of mine. I hope you enjoy the song.

No love for Doris Day on Drudge?

Her death has overshadowed Lena Horne’s, more proof of white privelege. /sarc

Listen to "Secret Love" if you really want to hear a great singer. No auto-tune needed!

There was speculation that Terry Melcher, Doris Day’s son was the original Target for the Manson Murders At The Tate residence where Melcher was had lived just prior to Tate moving in.

Apparently Melcher thought about recording Manson but decided against it and Madison felt highly disrespected enough to target Melcher, but Melchet wasn’t there and the people who had moved into the residence were murdered instead by the Manson cult killers.

There was and will only be one of her. She was the absolute best and her movies with James Garner and Rock Hudson were full of laughs - a person with many talents - all sensational.

AND could she wear clothes - the greatest figure and most beautiful wardrobe in any movie made... Did we watch her for her acting - or her singing - or her clothes? I loved everything about her.

Someone wrote that she sounded lonely - I’m sure she would have taken exception to that as she apparently derived much happiness from her charities and love for animals.
