Doris Day, once called an Actors Studio unto herself, was one of
the twentieth century's greatest entertainers, with a career
spanning 39 films, more than 150 televisions shows, and over 500
recordings. This work covers the life and career of the singer and
star of such films as Pillow Talk, The Man Who Knew Too Muchand
Calamity Jane. The work is divided into four sections, beginning
with a biography of Day's life from her birth in Cincinnati, Ohio,
through four marriages, near-bankruptcy, and her dedication to
animal rights, and concluding with her contented present life. A
filmography lists each film with full credits, synopsis and
reviews, plus her popularity rankings and awards. The third section
lists complete album record releases with notes, single record
releases, unreleased songs and recordings, music awards and
nominations, radio appearances from big bands to solo work, her
seven million-sellers, and chart placements. The work concludes
with Day's television appearances, including synopses and credits
for her five-season run with The Doris Day Show on CBS, the cable
show Doris Day's Best Friends, and her appearances in variety
specials, talk shows, and documentaries.
