But as to the question of how Doris Day could write so publicly about her relationship with a married man, and YIKES...It ends up in Good Housekeeping magazine! Probably the eternal virgin Doris didn't even consider it adultry, since she wasn't married. And hey!! She was already a geezer by the time she did her television show...maybe the whole "affair" thing was just more Hollywood fiction, and in this case, wishful thinking on her part. At least back then, Hollywood heavyweights had to keep their secrets, secret.
(I'll never forgive Esther Williams for writing in her autobiography that Jeff Chandler was a cross-dresser.) Some things, we just don't need to know.
