Doris Day & Friends talk about the real Doris Day

[TinaB1990]

I just finished watching It Happened to Jane starring Doris Day and Jack Lemmon...such a great film :)! I love how Doris always portrays intellectual, hard working and independent women (for her time, anyway). She is so great at that. Also, I just love all the films she did with Rock Hudson and The Thrill of it All with James Garner is absolutely hilarious! She truly is a Hollywood gem of a leading lady :).

[debbiausten1]

@TinaB1990 I love those movies too!

[TinaB1990]

@debbiausten1 I have to attribute Netflix for encouraging my classic movie addiction haha.

[dogboy4u]

she had it all, talent, beauty and the human frailties that made her special. And in her younger days, a hot ass. I lover her

[bowler8]

It's so sad she didn't find happiness, other than with her animals, she lost her son, she was treated badly by her husbands, she really doesn't deserve it.

[kingusmcgee]

Doris Day - a classy lady in every respect. Love her speaking voice, too. Wish I had a chance to have known her at some point in her life.

[pelicanus11]

LOVE THIS



[thr33wisemonks]

A wonderful brilliant woman. I love her character 'Calamity' in the movie 'Calamity Jane' singing the song The Black Hills of Dakota along with Howard Keel.

[ladyyuna2000]

Terry Melcher passed away on November 19, 2004 from a long battle with melanoma

[MMfan1997]

I would love to meet her one day......... I just have to keep on wishing

[mismestera]

she wasn't a beautiful actress, but more like the girl next door type

[MMfan1997]

@mismestera na she was beautiful!

[ispeakczech]

@mismestera I am sorry to disagree, but I think Doris was beautiful inside and out!!!

[boazsenator]

of course we love her. Generous in life, Generous at art

[tonkatone1]

I have loved Doris Day since when I was a child and loved all her films and music (I am now 66). I understand that Doris has recorded a new album this year (2011) - I just hope that this is really true and that we can enjoy her music once again.

[HelenHish]

I love DORIS SO MUCH!

[Guinepigsrock]

I want to meet her.

[JeniBurton213]

Anyone know where I could write her? She's always talking in her birthday interviews how she reads ALL her letters...any chance I can get that addy?

[irish89055]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MS DAY!!! 4/3/2011

[sseklof]

Isn't today her birthday? Thank you Doris, for all the joy and sunshine you gave in the movies I watched. Thank you also for all the help and love you have given to animals. You are a great, great lady.

[polaroyds]

love love love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[selket51]

She has always been one of my favourites!

[PureSoapCleans]

One of the greatest Star and best Actress of all time. She is wonderful!!! She can do anything and always with real talent and beauty. I miss her and it is a pity that she is not doing any more roles. A great singer too. I do love her. God Bless Her!

[PuddinRing69]

One of my best friends is the only grandchild of Doris Day and son of Terry Melcher. His father, Terry, her son and only child, passed away a few years ago and when he did, his current wife, who is not the mother of my friend, had him so jacked up on pain meds and cancer pills she convinced him into giving her his entire estate. My buddy told me that he wasn't even allowed to see his dying father even while on his deathbed because of her lies. Even Doris denies her only grandson due to her lies.

[KURISUCHRIS99]

i love her to death

[toemeraldcity]

LOVE HER!!!

[NFitalianGuy]

I always see Doris Day with a huge smile and she genuinely seemed the eternal optimist.. :)

[OneKewpie]

Doris Day's Aunt, Nellie Day Harris was my son's 5th grade teacher in Saticoy, California. She was a wonderful teacher and a wonderful lady. Love Doris Day.

OneKewpie

[JeniBurton213]

I also wish she'd make some public appearances. I'm only 28 years old. Only reason I know about Doris Day is because of my mother. A lot of new generations have no idea who she is and they are missing out. It's really sad...really sad that there aren't more people like her in the world today. Love You Doris!! <3 <3

[JeniBurton213]

I LOVE you Doris!! You are my inspiration!

[babygyalk]

she is a darling and i dont think there is an actress today who posesses an ounce of her star quality - but yet she was still down to earth and seemed to be the perfect individual although im sure she had her faults, but she is just perfect to me lol x

[JeniBurton213]

I love Doris Day and I'd give anything to meet her!! It's impossible...but it's ok to dream, right?

[MOE5577]

Doris is an amazing woman, she could show a few "stars" of today a thing or two about class, and being a respectable lady. She outshines most starletts today, cheers to you Doris!! Enjoy the peace and quiet you so deserve,

[MOE5577]

Doris is an amazing woman, she could show a few "stars" of today a thing or two about class, and being a respectable lady. She outshines most starletts today, cheers to you Doris!!

[JeniBurton213]

I can't stand people who get bothered by a neighbor having too many animals. Seriously, what is their problem? I hate when they try to make other people's lives miserable. Jeez!!!!

[2002ibiza]

I have recieved another letter from Doris. I have four now. She is such a kind person. Anyone would have difficulty to come even close to her today and she has time for every day people like me. Ive met people in television that have half her talent but are not as humble as her. She is one very special lady. A gift from God. She is always in my heart

[waynebrasler]

I always love when Doris says if she became a star anyone could. There was no one like her even by the time she was a teenager. She was just overflowing with talent, energy and good will. I think she really did want that nice sweet home and hubby and family back home in Ohio but there's no doubt she also wanted to entertain. She was doing it, after all, at an unusually young age. The movies I think were inevitable and they found her. She was looking for them.

[Shesnoin]

No one could ever have carried out the role of Doris in Calamity Jane as she did - been to three stage versions now from London to Dublin and nothing and no actress can pull off the humour or the effort she put in. Hey when she got pulled up on that rope she did that - every movement every action she did it with her heart - some may say others are more talented - yeh whatever - only voice I've ever wished I had and only person in hollywood I would have ever wished to meet.

[Ladyrants]

She was a phenomenal singer and actress. She could do comedy, she could do drama, she could sing musicals. A real talent. She seemed like a nice person, too, which is the most important thing of all. I say all this in spite of the fact that she and I have canceled each other's vote over the past 30 years.

[melikemusicalot]

damn i like her.

[irishsetterarchie]

SUCH AN AMAZING TALENT AND WONDERFUL, CLASSEY, SMART, WARM, WITTY AND MEMORIBLE HUMAN BEING!!!! i LOVE HER MOVIES AND HER MUSICAL TALENT. SUCH A CLASS ACT. I WILL REMEMBER HER ALWAYS.

[melodyworks]

Love this video...how lovely that her son Terry is saying such lovely things about his mother..makes a change from others I can mention!

[melodyworks]

Love this interview!

[MrTolentino83]

I BIG KISS FROM ITALY

[Ilovecats112233]

I'm only eighteen and I think she's lovely too. At the end of Primary School I dressed up as her for the leaver's play and sang Que Sera Sera.

[DA90027]

So sad, her son looked older than Doris. He must have had bad health for a while.

I wish Doris would make more appearances. Keely Smith is almost 80 and still singing to sold out houses.

[jba2323]

I FEEL SORRY FOR PEOPLE BORN TO LATE TO REMEMBER THAT WORLD

[MrBailer55]

Through my life i have heard lots of great singers, but Miss Doris Day will always have a special place in my heart, also i can never imagine Miss Doris Day as being old, either in her music or in her attitude to life, In my humble opinion.

[spacecadet507]

She's adorable!

[MrRocky9000]

Doris was born in 1924 as documented in her only official biography in 1975 and now so many are trying to say she was born in 1922 especially since the unofficial book "The Untold Story" was released in 08. Why should we believe the author of this book and change her birth year . I think not .

[joyce259]

Wonderful woman is Doris , love to hear her sing. She has just turned 86, and does a great job running her animal sanctuary

[joyce259]

Doris is a wonderful woman , taking care of all kinds of animals. , as well as being a lovely actress and , and her singing voice was awesome. She has just celebrated her 86th Birthday, and i hope she has many more. Love you Doris.

[jla9180]

Absolutely a treat to watch- thanks for cobbling this together!  (Eastwood and Garner especially- yay!)

[terrryc]

I understand that Doris was considered for the part of Mrs. Robinson in "The Graduate". While Anne Bancroft nailed the part, and was superb, Doris would have added a level of kink that would have made a great movie that much better. My God, being seduced by Doris Day.......

[GeoStratocaster]

Yeah, 'safeway'! LOL.

[AmericanLinedancer]

Doris Day is and always will be my all time fav actress.

Fav film 'Love Me, or Leave Me' with Cagney - she was awesome in every film, but this one had her beautiful voice and her brilliant acting.

[xxPrincess1995xx]

i love Doris Day.x she is truly 1 in a million.x and is still alive and kicking!!.x

[CSD7038]

Yeeeaah, she was quite a lady.

[justdawndonme]

I have admired and adored Ms Doris Day since the mid 60's. We even share the same birthday date....April 3rd!! I have loved her music and many of her films for years. The lady is definitely one in a million.....and deserves all the recognition she receives. I feel that she is really one of the last of the great time movie stars. I am so happy that she is still among us, a beautiful humanitarian and a brilliant legacy of the American cinema.

[krissygirl333]

I love Doris day!!!

[reidb18]

They talk as if she's already dead!

She's currently 87 and still kicking!

Bless You Doris. mWaH

[Qjeanl]

@reidb18 Hi, Do you know if there is any new pictures of Doris Day or interviews?

[debbiausten1]

@Qjeanl

There are more recent pictures, but nothing in the last couple of years. She's 87 you know and enjoys her privacy. She does a radio interview every year on her birthday, April 3rd.

[mdoles333]

@debbiausten1 What is the radio station and will it be available on-line?

[MrRocky9000]

@debbiausten1 She was born 1924 so actually she just turned 86. Betty White is 88 and having a blast with her career still going strong. Doris turned away from Hollywood by choice and as you mentioned, enjoys her privacy. She is retired from the entertainment world but Doris is working hard everyday for her animal causes. To be honest, she has not retired, she just doing something else - her heart is with the animals.

[BENC354]

Great clip......she will always be one of the BEST stars we have ever seen the likes of!!

[sneyder69]

She is a wonderful actrice ! Great personality !

[MATAZA10]

Some people, no matter how old they get, never lose their beauty - they merely move it from their faces into their hearts. - Martin Buxbaum

[lasuvidaboy]

She ended up in Hollywood and became the the #1 box female office star of all time. Julia Roberts is #2.

[tjduhon]

Doris Day was a great actress who has never gotten her due from the motion picture Academy which has put a shadow on the whole industry in my opinion.

[Jessecraft1954]

I have always loved Doris Day. I watched her movie Pillow Talk last night and it always makes me laugh and leaves me with a smile. Thank you Doris for all the sunshine and joy you have added to my life and the lives of millions. Thank you Doris. You are greatly loved. One of your fans! Jesse

[reidb18]

YES Pillow Talk, Lover Come Back, Send Me No Flowers are excellent trio of Doris Day, Rock Hudson and Tony Randall another amazing trio!

[MikeWilliamsonMusic]

Great tribute to a wonderful lady.

[polkadotpolka123]

she's such a darling! i have ALWAYS wanted to meet her. she's so funny, witty and she's an animal lover! everything she does makes me smile!

[Priscilakellyo1735]

You have wonderfull videos! I love this one.

[dgarnes1]

Thanks for posting this lovely tribute...nice clips. She's the best.

[mrstrings65]

Anybody can? Not as well as you dear Doris !!

[rrry1950]

This world needs more people like Doris Day.......she is truely a gift from god...

Doris if you ever read these........WE LOVE YOU!

[cdsouthsidec1]

@rrry1950 Amen!!!!!

[brotmann86]

btw why did charles manson want to kill her son?

[Rhapsperry]

becus charles manson wanted into the music business or something but terry (her son) wouldn't let him. he'd moved away b4 manson ever gt to him

[09lorim]

She is so classy!!!

[AussieRosie]

When did her son Terry pass away?

So sad.......He didn't look 100% in the interview by the pool. What a nice man and wonderful son he was to Doris.

I have a signed autograph picture of Doris on my wall, I think she's wonderful.

[debbiausten1]

I think he passed away in 2004. I think he was very ill when he was interviewed near the pool.

[JeniBurton213]

@AussieRosie Terry died of Malinoma cancer. It's ok, I didn't know about it until about a year ago. Very sad :(

[JeniBurton213]

If you ever a chance to see you A&E Biography, watch it! She's an amazing woman!

[NFitalianGuy]

@AussieRosie I didnt know Terry died. I bet it devestated Doris losing her only child. I write to her a few years ago and I donated to her animal foundation and she sent me a lovely 8x10 color photo autographed it too. I treasure it. I never write fan letters but She was a special actress and so genuinely down to earth with a golden voice.

[charleeXD]

Why do they all talk about her as if she died? saying "was" all the time? Shes still a birlliant woman goddam it! I love her <3

[MemphisJonasFans]

she is so cute! i love her! :)

[marycozzens]

thank you.

[babyboy84119]

I love how she says "keep house" LMAO

She's soooo cute!! I want to keep house when i grow up!

[68lincoln]

Great actress, vocalist, humanitarian. I L-O-V-E H-E-R!!!!!

[sam7748]

A real lady.

[mssandy90]

The word class in the dictionary has the picture of Doris Day right beside it. I always liked her and every movie she made I made sure I saw it. I read her book and still have the book today and have read it several times.

[savida34e]

I wish she had girls-Doris Day jr!

[savida34e]

She says that if she can do it, I can do it! X-D. She's gifted with great talent, I have the talent to clean her house!

[pincherle84]

Thanks... which is the year of this interview?

[debbiausten1]

There are serveral clips from different years. The first clip is from Sentimental journey and was made in 1992. Most of the clips are from 1998.

[ra86226]

she is the only one who would make anyone want to ride a bicycle.

[debbiausten1]

So True!

[Prod62366]

I love Doris Day, I remember watching Doris Day's Best Friends on TV, this is really great-thanks for sharing!

[lavitaebella25]

I love her so much! She's my role model!

[trainerkeith]

THANK YOU Doris Day for making us all smile... and most importantly, reach out to animals...what a great legacy you have...

[lasuvidaboy]

Doris Day sold her Beverly Hills house on N Crescent Drive last year. She is still living on a hilltop ranch in the beautiful Carmel Valley, CA.

[Bluedolphingirl01]

I wrote to her and asked for a autographed photo and after four months she sent me one with my name on it and a little note about taking so long i was just so thrilled she had made it to me and signed love doris day and said she does them all herself she has piles in her garage and works on them whenever.

How thrilling she was and is a one of a kind.

[justmaz2004]

hey debbie great clips just a shame the radio interviewer was so rude with doris .

[kelborgui]

Quanta magia!!!

Belo documentário!!!

Regards.

Kelvin Borrero (brazilian classical guitarrist)

[iwanagaa1919]

Let's hope that nobody believes that if Doris Day can succeed in Hollywood, anybody can. Luck plays a big part in Hollywood success. In addition, when the Lord was handing out talent, Doris went back for seconds, or thirds. The highlight of this video is the commentary from Doris's son, near the start of the video. The radio interview with Doris is a bit disappointing, due to the annoying host.

[ra86226]

most hosts are annoying. they should introduce the person and let them do all the talking. ask just a few questions and then shut up.

[kissebb]

When was it?

[lasuvidaboy]

Still the number 1 box office actress of all time. Julia Roberts is #2. She is a great lady!

[troybrooks]

Great lady. So talented.

[joshstoph]

This was lovely.  Thank you for posting.

[defundthewar]

When Doris says if she can be a big Hollywood success, anybody can, she certainly can't mean it. She worked hard. Plus all that talent. Being gorgeous didn't hurt either. There are many reasons others didn't make it, but Doris did.

[ILoveLucyE68NY]

Doris will always be in my heart.

[totalronnie]

Magnificent Doris, it's a shame that the Academy doesn't give her a deserved honorary Oscar. This post goes to my favorites.

[oohyllab]

Fantastic!! Thanks for putting this on here. She is such a special person. One of the last living legends. Great post, *****

[kenselin]

i remember the 1st time i saw a feel-good film by Doris Day it was AN EXPERIENCE: always UPBEAT, SMILING, *in charge* kind of women which made her AHEAD OF HER DAY. She could VERY! EASILY have been MARY POPPINS she's SO WHIMSICAL+SUCH A DELIGHT! God Bless America 4Doris Day. :o)

[justmaz2004]

only one word that describes doris day

Legend , the only lady who can sing and make you sit up and listen .

[Rusty350]

What a beautiful, loving tribute to the lady I have loved since I was 12 years old AND still love her. A Day doesn't go by, that her CDs are playing in my home. Doris...your Gazillion fans world wide will always love you. You're the greatest thing that has ever happend to the movies.

[iwanagaa1919]

Doris is the only actress who makes me so joyful that I start to cry.

[miltsar]

Does anyone know if Doris was considered for Unskinkable Molly Brown ? She would have been perfect in it .

[debbiausten1]

Fans have suggested it, but I don't think she was ever considered for the part.

[rioamigo]

MGM did consider Doris for the part of MJolly Brown. The rumor is that she was passed over because "Billy Rose's Jumbo" had not been a box-office success.

[debbiausten1]

I never heard that. But I thought Jumbo was a success. Thank you for the correction.

[rioamigo]

From "Pillow Talk" (1959) through "Send Me No Flowers" (1964), "Jumbo" was the only financial soft spot. Too bad...her performance was brilliant, as was her singing.

[ra86226]

Wow!  Except for the first part from her 1991 documentary Sentimental Journey, I've never seen these clips before. Great!

[jersey13zac]

Thank you for putting this together! Debbie

I just love watching Terry talk about his mom.

Laurie

[Dayniac4324]

THANK YOU DEBBIE !!!!!

This is absolutely fabulous ! Thank you for setting staight some of the misconceptions about Doris. I have all those interviews but haven't watched them for a long time...now I have to get them out to watch again !!

Thanks - favorited this one to watch again and again .... many stars for you !

[peterflapper]

Hi Debbie,

I love it, thanks for making and sharing it. She is fab!!!

P

[dorisdaynet]

Great, Debbi!

[daybyday007]

Oh Debbi this video really is wonderful! I love how there's a mixture of documentary clips that's great! My favorite part is the beginning when Terry is talking and when she is riding her bicycle through the neighborhood. Kaye Ballard is funny too.

Such a happy, fun video!-Dominique

[debbiausten1]

Thanks I love that part too! Actually I think I like the whole video.

[rioamigo]

Kaye Ballard once gave Doris the finest com-pliment I can ever imagine an actor receiving: "I can't tell whether she is reading the script or just talking to me..."

[debbiausten1]

I remember her saying that.

[memytgrl]

This is the BEST tribute thus far made about Miss Day. Well done, well thought out, and very much appreciated by this Doris Day fan. Thank you!

[debbiausten1]

Thanks Ro, Your comment means a lot to me!

[BabeWilliams93]

I like that part too Debbi! I'm sure anyone who had done a film or sang a song with DoDo would have said the same thing.

[Theodomus]

Just one word: Fabulous!

Thank you so much - I hope everybody is going to see it!

[debbiausten1]

Thank you!

[BabeWilliams93]

Great Debbi! I love it..I love the last shot when she takes the hat from her head.. No one can compare to her.. She's just wonderful!

[debbiausten1]

I love the part at the end where Terry says "She is the best mother I could have ever had."

and James Garner says "...I could have done 50 films with her."

[afantastic]

Debbi this is fabulous. I am sending it to everyone I know. How does anybody comes to a conclusion that Doris Day is anybody other than who she says and shows she is? Thank you so much for the time you took to put this together. This is a true tribute to an absolutely lovely lady. 10 Stars!

[debbiausten1]

That's great!

[debbiausten1]

Thank you Bryan. I think people need to know who she really is.

[dorisdaynet]

Excellent Debbie - and very timely. I think your video really captures who Doris Day is. It's nice to be reminded who this sweet and gentle woman is.

Thank you!
