I liked her best playing opposite Rock Hudson.
Doris Day : Doctor, there's so much I can learn from you.
Rock Hudson : As my father, the philosopher, used to say, "Knock at my door and I shall take you in."
Doris Day : Dr. Tyler, I'm knocking.
Rock Hudson : Miss Templeton, I'm taking you in.

And, oh my God, she was a REPUBLICAN. That’s why the effeminate writer didn’t like her movies.

Three. Who are the three? Peggy Lipton and someone else, now Doris.
Lena Horne passed on May 9.

Thanks. There was another thread just awhile ago, and someone else raised the issue of “they go in threes” and that other person mentioned Lipton, Day and then Lena Horne. I hadn’t come across a Lena Horne story, so I quickly checked Wikipedia. Yup! May 9! Sure thing!
I just completed neglected to notice the 2010 thingy.

A fine lady... today’s actresses needs to take a page from her.

I loved them too, but my favorite was “Send Me No Flowers” - hilarious! And applies to me a whole lot, too.
Actually I love when she really sings. Love the Moonlight Bay series.
And I will put in a bad word for a couple - “Please Don’t Eat the Daisies” was amazingly annoying on one hand and boring on the other, with awful strange treatment of the kids. And “That Touch of Mink” - immoral, and actually also kind of boring. Both these are usually considered top-notch DD movies but after really watching them in the last few years, well, you already read.

While she was great in movies, she was one of the great female vocalists of the 20th century.

Following an argument with her lover, Doris leaves, telling him that she's going to Shanghai--which in 1951 is an odd destination for an American, given its location in a Communist country at war with the US.

She eas a close, platonic friend of Rock Hudson and visited him on his death bed.

Lipton co-starred in the late 60s/early 70s cop show Mod Squad and later on Twin Peaks.

I’m guessing the Guardian was a multicultural heaven in the 50’ and 60’s. Racism is still alive in their reporting though.
To: Fiji Hill
First - when was China at war with US?
Second, I wouldn’t be too nit-picky about the subject. People at that point were still used to Shanghai just being another exotic locale, not a communist territory, which only happened very recently.
