Doris and friend in 1941


Rest in Peace, Doris Day. And thank you.​
 
RIP Doris. Say hi to all the greats!
 
Rest in peace.
 
97 years full of life worth celebrating. Don't rest, have more fun, continue to do good for others, live well in whatever comes next.
 
Beautiful woman in a lot of respects. RIP.
 
For several years in the Sixties she was the top female film star with one hit comedy after another. She had a great life and a great career. She will be missed.
 
Rest in Peace, Doris.

 
I am surprised by how little reaction there has been to this.

She was huge.

But I only found out about it just now as an afterthought when I mentioned to my husband that Tim Conway died. He said, "So Antenna TV just said ... and apparently Doris Day also."

Like Mayor Pete said, I think it’s a generational thing; she was 97.

I was a movie theater ticket taker, (remember them,) when “CAPRICE” was playing. She was cute. That will give you a clue as to my generation.



EDIT: Tim Conway in “McHale’s Navy” and as the Swedish office mgr on “The Carol Burnett Show” was very good!
 
Doris Day obituary
Actor and singer whose wholesome image made her one of Hollywood’s top box-office stars of the 1950s and 60s

Doris Day with Ronald Reagan in the baseball movie The Winning Team, 1952.​

Doris Day, who has died aged 97, was a singer who came out of the big-band boom of the 1940s to become one of Hollywood’s top box-office stars throughout the 50s and 60s. She had a honey voice, short, buttercup-coloured hair, a sunny smile – and as many scruples as freckles. If Marilyn Monroe was the “girl downtown” at 20th Century Fox, Day was the archetypal “girl next door” at Warners.

Day was first seen as a spunky but naive showgirl in more than a dozen candyfloss Warner Bros musicals between 1948 and 1955. Then, from 1959 until her retirement from the big screen in 1968, she became a sophisticated urban woman defending her honour and independence in a series of glossy, sex-battle romantic comedies for Universal Studios.

I too am surprised by the negligible reaction, as reflected here in our forum as well.

Oh, well. Sic transit gloria mundi, I guess. "Thus passes the glory of the world."

I had a massive crush on her at one time, I'm sorry to see her go.
 
No matter what role she played her acting made you feel good. Miss Doris Day is a neighbor you like to have living next door.

Well said, my friend. Doris Day was the girl next door, then the woman next door. Sincerity wafted from her like a pleasant scent.
