I fell in love at an early age, and never fully recovered.

Every girl I ever had emotions for, was always judged by that standard, which went WAY beyond a fresh, perky appearance and an air of innocence, which she carried all her life.

The true “American Virgin”.

Arrivederci,mi amor.

My father the vaudville magician ran across nearly everyone in his long career. He saw Doris when she fronted a big band and said she had twenty wild dogs whipped like puppies. It wasn't until later that I got that (he was another shot down in flames - LOL). Here's a clip of her given free reign then upstaging James Cagney.

So glad the residual system came in for her as she truly deserved reward for all that astonishing work. It also took true character to love a man as a friend who's lifestyle was the death of him. Then she stepped away from every psycho-altering aspect of "Hollywoodism" to care for needy animals who's honesty could not hurt her like people had. Doris took command of her time and made the world better for it.
