She was big. It’s the pictures that got small.

I always thought that she was a beautiful and talented woman. I enjoyed both her movies and singing.

Her 1954 song, “Secret Love,” spoke to my dreams when I was in the 8th grade and in love with a very pretty girl. She didn’t know it, though, and I never had the nerve to do anything but admire her and occasionally speak with her at recess.

Do you celebrate Doris Day? Or do you just wait for the post holiday sales?

God bless Doris Day and all the wonderful work she does to help animals.

Doris did it up right. She retired from Hollywood relatively young (preferring to be remembered as she was in her heyday) and devoted her life to doing good in the world- using her fame/name/money for a good cause.

She didn't try to hang on to her glory days and become a pathetic parody of herself as some big name stars of yesteryear do. She's done with Hollywood- and they can't stand it. They want her out so they can ridicule, as they did poor Kim Novak. Doris has been called a 'bag lady', 'senile' and worse because she won't play Hollywood's game. She is none of these things. She is still a bright, attractive and active lady.

Another former big star, Bridgett Bardot, did the same, and I admire her. She has a world famous animal help organization, and has fought hard to help keep Muslims from overtaking France. [in vain] She has been fined and jailed for her efforts

Doris Day is a living legend, an American treasure- the likes of which we will never see again.

Over the course of her career, Day appeared in 39 films. She was ranked the biggest box-office star, the only woman on that list, for four years (1960, 1962, 1963 and 1964) ranking in the top 10 for ten years (1951–1952 and 1959–1966). She became the top-ranking female box-office star of all time and is currently ranked sixth among the top 10 box office performers (male and female), as of 2012. She received an Academy Award nomination for her performance in Pillow Talk, won three Henrietta Awards (World Film Favorite), received the Los Angeles Film Critics Association's Career Achievement Award and, in 1989, received the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement in motion pictures. Doris Day made her last film in 1968.

Doris Day has also released 31 albums, and her songs have spent a total of 460 weeks in the Top 40 charts. She has been awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and a Legend Award from the Society of Singers. In 2011, she released her 29th studio album, My Heart, which debuted at No. 9 on the UK Top 40 charts. As of January 2014, Day is the oldest living artist to score a UK Top 10 with an album featuring new material.

She could do it all; sing, dance, drama, comedy- you name it. If you haven't seen her in a drama, see 'Midnight Lace'[the best crier in the movies] and 'Love Me or Leave me'- both outstanding dramatic performances.

Sadly, she has been still been underappreciated. She's never been given an Academy Award. Too normal. Too much of a lady, I guess.

By the way, she laughs about the 'eternal virgin' bit, too. She says it just the way she was always cast.

Happy birthday, Doris- and thank you for all the wonderful entertainment you left us.

Happy Birthday Doris Day.
What a sweetheart. I remember
she called George Putnam’s radio show
years ago on his birthday. I hope she
is well.
