Actress Doris Day has died at the age of 97, her foundation says
American actress Doris Day, whose wholesome screen presence stood for a time of innocence in '60s films, has died at the age of 97, her foundation has said.
Day's lilting voice, wholesome blond beauty and ultra-bright smile brought her a string of hits, first on records, and then later in Hollywood. Tributes to Doris Day So sad to hear that Doris Day has died. While working for the Duke of Bedford I discovered their family motto is Que Sera Sera, which was sung by Doris Day in the film the man who knew too much. - Que Sera Sera - https://t.co/Sn5HWU3wq9pic.twitter.com/ZWyaw1lzLV
The running joke, attributed to both Groucho Marx and actor-composer Oscar Levant, was that they had known Day "before she was a virgin."In"Pillow Talk," released in 1959 and her first of three films with Rock Hudson, she proudly caught up with what she called"the contemporary in me." In recent years, she spent much of her time advocating for animal rights. Although mostly retired from show business since the 1980s, she still had enough of a following that a 2011 collection of previously unreleased songs,"My Heart," hit the top 10 in the United Kingdom.
Day began singing in a Cincinnati radio station, then a local nightclub, then in New York. A bandleader changed her name to Day, after the song"Dayafter Day," to fit it on a marquee. She followed with"The Thrill of It All," playing a housewife who gains fame as a TV pitchwoman to the chagrin of obstetrician husband James Garner.Her first musical hit was the 1945 smash,"Sentimental Journey," when she was barely in her 20s. Among the other songs she made famous were"Everybody Loves a Lover,""Secret Love," and"It's Magic," a song from"Romance on the High Seas," her first film.
Her dramas included"Young Man with a Horn," with Kirk Douglas and Lauren Bacall, and"Storm Warning," with Ronald Reagan and Ginger Rogers.
