Doris Day Saved My Life

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

  4. I loved Doris Day movies. My favorite is 'The Man Who Knew Too Much' - or maybe not.

    The profits from her CD (unreleased music recorded over 40 years, with her late son) are going to animal welfare.

  5. 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.

  6. Hmm, 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

  7. I 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

  9. 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.

  12. Hi 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!

  13. I always enjoyed Doris Day...her acting and her music. She was just so darned wholesome, and I found it really appealing.

  16. I'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. :)

  17. I think my husband said he was in love with Doris Day when he was younger. She is really pretty.

  18. Hi Diane! Yes, that is the new CD. I read that it came out in the UK a month before here in the US!
    Yay, another Doris person! :)

  19. Hi Sue! Yes, as a young girl I wanted to BE Doris Day! LOL

  20. Hey Susan! Glad you like Doris, too.

  21. Hi Debora! I loved the clothes Doris wore, too...in the ones where she was a career woman!

  22. Hi 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!

  23. Hi Lynn! I think lots of men were in love with Doris' girl-next-door beauty and in her movies, she was always a virgin!

  24. Oh 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!

  25. Ahhh, Pat, a woman after my own heart! We'll have to have a Doris Day trivia conversation sometime!

  26. My 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. :)

    Happy weekend,

  31. 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 ...
