As I blog hopped the other day, I came across one that really intrigued me....but do I remember whose it was, or how I got there? Of course not. One of the things I liked about this particular blog was that in her Profile, she said she loved Doris Day movies. But it's not because of Doris or any of her leading men. I think it had something to do with the furniture decor in the 60s, and she may have mentioned Doris' costumes, too....but I'm not sure.

When I first saw the name "Doris Day," I thought, OMG, another Doris Day fan! But it wasn't the case, and that's okay. I won't hold it against her!

Just last night I read an article about Doris releasing a CD this Friday. What a surprise, because she chose to walk away from the Hollywood lifestyle many years ago.
And as far as Doris saving my life.....I can honestly say that she did, in more ways than one. A chapter in my memoir explains it all.
Welcome to my newest followers, Laura Barnes & Cheryl. I hope you'll stop by often and always enjoy what you read and see! Thank you!
Que sera sera
Whatever will be will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera sera
Every time I read one of your posts, I like you more! I LOVE Doris Day! I did not hear she was going to be releasing a CD - I am definitely going to check into it though! Thanks for brightening my day! Again :)
ReplyDeleteOh Becky, how sweet you are! And I must say, you certainly just brightened my day, too!
ReplyDeleteI adore Doris Day...both her movies and her music. She's on my top 15 actress list!!
ReplyDeleteHope you're doing well!!
Love,
Patti
I loved Doris Day movies. My favorite is 'The Man Who Knew Too Much' - or maybe not.
ReplyDeleteThe profits from her CD (unreleased music recorded over 40 years, with her late son) are going to animal welfare.
Hi Patti and Kim! Wow, I have lots of Doris buddies!! And yes, I read about the proceeds going to one/some of her animal rights charities.
ReplyDeleteHmm, how Doris Day saved my life. Where does the line form to pick up your memoir? Seems like yesterday I was a kid of 12 fancying that the buckskin blond singing "Once I had a secret love..." was singing of me. rb
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you will believe this - now she didn't save my life - but when I was younger - must have been really young - I had that same song and played it on my record player forever - it meant a lot to me and my situation. Love, sandie
ReplyDeleteI heard about her new CD release on the radio. I love that she's willing to return after so many years. Hope she does well with it.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to find out how she saved your life.
Hey Robert! What a great comment! Thanks much, but the line won't be forming any time soon. I'll be sure to let you know, though. Ahhh, that song. I sang it constantly, dreaming of my unrequited love, grade-school-boy who I was in love with for YEARS.
ReplyDeleteHey Chatty! I just love this...so many of my blog friends have a connection with Doris! Of course, I believe you!
ReplyDeleteHi Myrna! I was certainly shocked to hear about it, too. And I can't wait to have my book finished, so you CAN read all about it! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Becky. Well, guess what! I just love Doris Day! I downloaded a new Doris Day CD a few months ago, and the album was called My Heart, so I don't know if this is the same one that you were talking about. I really love it!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoyed Doris Day...her acting and her music. She was just so darned wholesome, and I found it really appealing.

Hi Becky....I like Doris Day, too. Thanks for the memories. Thanks for your visits and comments, too. Susan
ReplyDeleteI like Doris Day too, and I especially love the clothing and the houses in her films. She saved your life, did she? I'll have to read that memoir!
ReplyDeleteI've always been a fan of Doris Day also. I used to look for her movies on Saturday TV--I bet I watched them all. Funny, though, the one that comes to mind first is Calamity Jane. :)
ReplyDeleteI think my husband said he was in love with Doris Day when he was younger. She is really pretty.
ReplyDeleteHi Diane! Yes, that is the new CD. I read that it came out in the UK a month before here in the US!
ReplyDeleteYay, another Doris person! :)
Hi Sue! Yes, as a young girl I wanted to BE Doris Day! LOL
ReplyDeleteHey Susan! Glad you like Doris, too.
ReplyDeleteHi Debora! I loved the clothes Doris wore, too...in the ones where she was a career woman!
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa! I've seen all of Doris' movies, I'm sure....and way more than one time each! I loved the song from Calamity Jane...A Secret Love. I think the first movie that comes to mind is Pillow Talk. Loved it!
ReplyDeleteHi Lynn! I think lots of men were in love with Doris' girl-next-door beauty and in her movies, she was always a virgin!
ReplyDeleteOh Becky, Doris Day is one of my all time favs. I own most of her movies and never tire of watching them. She was the queen of romantic comedy, an awesome singer, and a beautiful lady both outside and in. She left the Hollywood life years ago, and to this day actively rescues and works with animals. She established the Doris Day Foundation which educates and funds animal welfare projects. A few years ago an unauthorized biography was published on her. DD fans really knocked it because Doris is a very private person and did not want the book published without her approval. Of course I had to buy it. I loved the book, because I love knowing more about her!
ReplyDeleteAhhh, Pat, a woman after my own heart! We'll have to have a Doris Day trivia conversation sometime!
ReplyDeleteMy Mom used to sing that song often! We loved watching Doris Day movies. Now my daughter and I enjoy them. Thanks for reminding me of sweet memories. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend,
Karen
Hi Karen! I just love how many of us have fond Doris Day memories! Thank you for sharing yours, too!
ReplyDeleteMemories!

Doris Day was one of my favorites as a young girl, I still love her today. A cd would be wonderful to listen to. Hope you're doing well darling. hugs ~lynne~
ReplyDeleteHi, Becky,
ReplyDeleteChecking in after too long an absence, enjoying your old family photos, Thanksgiving table and yes, Doris Day! It's good to be back!
When I was in high school, there was a contest where if you were the first to know who sang Que Sera Sera, you'd win a 10-speed bicycle. I knew, and I won! Thanks for the memory ...
ReplyDeleteBecky, I always enjoy your posts. I never know what to expect! Can't wait to learn how DD saved your life.
ReplyDeleteNamaste..........cj
Hi Joyce! Thanks for stopping by and I'm glad you liked the memories!
ReplyDeleteHi Lynne! Thanks so much! I hope you're doing well, too. I haven't been to your blog TOO often, but I HAVE been there! Just haven't left comments! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Jeanie! Oh, I certainly understand about being away for awhile! No problem, but it sure is good to see you again!
ReplyDeleteHey Joanne! That's incredible!! What an awesome prize, and Congrats on winning!! That is definitely a great memory!
ReplyDeleteAwwww, CJ. That's very sweet of you! I never thought about my blog being eclectic, but I guess it is. So glad you enjoy it! Thanks!
