Great clip ... but I want to see more !! She looked so gorgeous !! Thank you for posting !

[evret0503]

Will she ever accept an honorary Oscar...I've heard it's been offered to her. She could do it via skype from her home! That would be awesome! :)

@themredweirdoshow This story is complete UNTRUE!

Dat Ass

@MMfan1997 Doris Day at 52 looked much younger and of course infinitely greater body than Liz Taylor at 35 !

I would like to say I was wrong. Earlier, if you scroll into previous comments, I said we'd never see her again. And I was wrong. She did a marvelous new interview that can be seen right here on YouTube, called "Doris Day Interview" in which she plugs her new album on an British-based TV show. (I believe the album, so far, has only been released in Europe.) Although cautiously lit and filtered, she's there, looking and especially sounding wonderful. I've rarely been so glad to be wrong!

Great speech,but sad it was cut off. Cagney was my very first movie idol,and I still love the guy,and rewatch his movies on a regular basis.

[MMfan1997]

Doris Day looks beautiful! I can't believe how great she looks!

[AHGlasher]

Aside from Doris' highest caliber talent, even at her age here is proof positive of an actors comment from the 50's about Doris Day having pretty much the finest ass in Hollywood.

[themredweirdoshow]

@dedbusted Doris was always a fairly athletic person, and as a result was able to look smoking hot long after most actresses were over the hill. She would have been almost perfect, except for her unusual penchant for repeated bouts of suntanning, which made her virtually worthless for the cameras - truly a lighting man's worst nightmare. She once made a legally-binding deal with a studio to knock off the severe sun worship, but soon broke it. So she ended up being called "Miss Boiled Lobster."

A class act. A true star of Hollywood; perhaps the last one left.

@adolfoa1961 I think she quit at just the right time, at the top of her game, looking sexy and desirable and sounding great, and not coasting downhill, an object of curiosity or pity.
