Not sure if she ever appeared on stage, but really sad news.

May she rest in peace. My mother is named after her.

According to IBDB, there is a Doris Day who performed in 2 plays: Susan and God; and The Women

But I believe this may be a different person from the one who passed away.

I loved all of her movies and her tv show. Kudos to her for standing next to Rock Hudson when he became ill. That might have been her greatest achievement. m

One of my favorite movies she did was Midnight Lace with Rex Harrison which does not get talked about too often.

Kelli O’Hara was great as Doris Day in FOSSE/VERDON for the sequence on the filming of THE PAJAMA GAME.

My mom and I just stayed at the Cypress Inn, Doris Day's hotel in Carmel-by-the-Sea, two weeks ago. It's a warm, lovely place with lots of well-behaved canine guests.

Some of my earliest memories are of going to drive-in with my parents to see Doris Day movies. I was three or four and never stayed awake for a whole movie, but we also have one Doris Day record which I played non-stop.

Didn't it seem like Miss Day just might live forever?

She will due to the magic of film!
