Stand outside the huge gates to Doris Day’s fortress-like home in California’s beautiful Carmel Valley and you can sometimes hear the sound of the canine companions who share the Hollywood star’s life.
It’s been some years since Day, now 91 and so reclusive many may be surprised to learn she is still alive, used to steal through the streets of the nearby town of Carmel in the middle of the night on a regular basis.
Locals would watch in surprise as she rounded up stray dogs and emaciated cats, bundling them in her car to take home and look after them.
At one time she had close on 50 dogs rampaging through her house, some of them piling on to her kingsize bed to sleep at night. People would leave abandoned pets at the gates and Doris, one of the biggest stars in Hollywood history, never turned them away.
She once refused to tell a interviewer exactly how many animals lived with her — people would think her ‘wacko’, she said.
The pert, fresh-faced and fun-loving blonde won Oscars romancing Rock Hudson in Pillow Talk and for her belting rendition of the song Que Sera Sera alongside James Stewart in The Man Who Knew Too Much.
But after four tumultuous and — in some cases, violent — marriages, she long ago gave up the company of men.
She much prefers her beloved dogs, though friends say she has always lived in fear that one of them might inadvertently knock her over or even bite her, causing serious injury.

Honestly, I don’t know what you are on about.
but Bob Crosby continued being something of a third-tier celeb, and eventually had a daytime tv-show in the early days of television, which was apparently popular for a while...
...I was a kid when TV got popular in the early fifties, and I remember the Bob Crosby show...he was the first Crosby I knew anything about...
Typical Marxist animal rights fanatic.Of course you won’t see her picketing at abortion mills in order to save completely innocent *humans* because then she wouldn’t be invited to any of the Malibu cocktail parties.
...ah, so a person showing kindness to dumb beasts is a worthless Marxist...
...I’m so glad I hang around this forum...just thinking of all the invaluable stuff I learn is so gratifying...
But to me “showbiz” + “50 dogs rampaging through the house” = “Marxist” unless and until I see convincing evidence of serious mental or neurological illness.
...my, my, you are quite the ranter, aren’t you...?
...but you don’t have to wait until someone digs up dirt on poor old Doris to see ‘convincing evidence of neurological illness’...just read your own posts...
