To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of one of the
most successful actresses and singers in the history of show
business,Hermes Press is proud to announce the publication of DORIS
DAY - IMAGES OF A HOLLYWOOD ICON, featuring rare and previously
unpublished photographs from the late star's personal collection.
Born in Cincinnati, Ohio on April 3, 1922, Doris Mary Anne
Kappelhoff had dreams of becoming a professional dancer before a
near-fatal car accident during her teen years left her bed-ridden
with a shattered leg for over a year. While listening to the radio
during her recovery and becoming entranced by jazz vocalist Ella
Fitzgerald, Doris embarked on singing lessons for two years,
resulting in her becoming a local radio star and joining big bands
-- where she adopted the stage name of "Day" -- leading to a plum
position with the Les Brown Orchestra. While touring cross-country
with Brown, Day had several hit records with the band, culminating
with the end-of-World-War-II anthem Sentimental Journey. After two
failed marriages and giving birth to her son Terry, Doris relocated
to Los Angeles where she was discovered by famed film director
Michael Curtiz (Casablanca) and signed to a contract with Warner
Brothers. Starting with the 1948 Technicolor musical Romance on the
High Seas, where she introduced the Oscar (R)-nominated hit song
It's Magic, Day quickly ascended to the top of the most popular
stars in Hollywood. While continuing her recording career, she
moved effortlessly between song-filled, nostalgic features such as
Calamity Jane - introducing the Oscar (R)-winning hit Secret Love;
gripping film noir (Storm Warning); musical biography (Love Me or
Leave Me); a Hitchcock thriller (The Man Who Knew Too Much) and
modern romantic comedies with Rock Hudson (Pillow Talk), Clark
Gable (Teacher's Pet), Cary Grant (That Touch of Mink) and James
Garner (The Thrill of It All). Despite not making a film since
1968, Day still holds the record as the number one female
box-office star. Her many honors include the Cecil B. DeMille Award
for outstanding contributions to the entertainment industry, the
Los Angeles Film Critics Award for Lifetime Achievement, a Grammy
Lifetime Achievement Award, an Academy Award (R) nomination for
Pillow Talk and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Her films and
recordings continue to appeal to audiences all over the world. The
iconic Oscar (R)-winning hit Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be Will
Be) was not only the theme to her top ten television series The
Doris Day Show but has resonated globally with several generations.
A lifelong animal lover and pioneering animal welfare advocate, Day
focused her later years on her heart's passion--making this a
better world for animals and the people who love them. Her
celebrity voice has been instrumental in reducing shelter
euthanasia, introducing spay/neuter initiatives, lobbying for laws
that protect animals, and many other programs. Since 1978, the
Doris Day Animal Foundation has grown into a national non-profit
animal welfare leader and continues to carry on Day's legacy. DORIS
DAY - IMAGES OF A HOLLYWOOD ICON offers hundreds of photos,
including glamorous publicity portraits, behind-the-scenes images
with famous friends and colleagues, and glimpses into her personal
life. Longtime fan Paul McCartney has contributed a Foreword.

picture and singing careers, respectively. A complete filmography
and discography are also included.
