"FAREWELL DORIS - Doris Day dead at 97 – Legendary actress passes away after 80 YEAR career as a Hollywood icon" The actress was renowned for her wholesome image and starred in several hit films. Actress And Singer Doris Day, Hollywood's Girl Next Door, Dies At 97Actress and singer Doris Day made nearly three dozen films and more than 600 recordings. At the height of her career, she topped both the billboard and the box office charts. Day died of pneumonia this morning, May 13, at the age of 97. Day remains one of the most successful female movie stars of all time. She embodied the "girl next door" even in her 40s, which is probably why her films with Rock Hudson were so successful. A scene from 1959's Pillow Talk shows a split screen with Day and Hudson in their separate bathtubs, only it looks like they're in the same one — with their feet touching. Kind of risqué for 1959. That was Day at the height of her film success, but her career began as a big band "girl singer," and with Les Brown's big band she had one of the biggest hits of World War II: "A Sentimental Journey." For many GIs, Doris Day represented the kind of girl you'd want to fight for and come home to. www.npr.org/2019/05/13/225446337/actress-and-singer-doris-day-hollywoods-girl-next-door-dies-at-97?utm_source=npr_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=20190513&utm_campaign=breakingnews&utm_term=nprnews

Thanks Virgil...was just coming post that same sad news... Sorry to see her go. Que Sera Sera. Sure, she had some issues with her family, but she presented morality during a time when Hollywood was sinking deeper and deeper into filth. She refused the leading role in the Graduate because she believed that it was not in keeping with her personal values. Thanks for adding the link . . . I forgets!
