Yes, and she looks so natural there, doesn't she?

Everybody loves "Calamity Jane"! Don't they?

She was a unique and memorable woman. I'll never forget her.

Thanks all - I love this photo of Doris! Does anyone know when it was taken and if it was to publicise any particular film? (The Winning Team?)

Wow, you're a real up-to-date film buff, Johnny, as well as having a love for 'classic films' (or any films you've seen that entertains you). Keep up the good work!

Doris looks so cool there although she referred to the make-up department as 'embalmers' as they dyed her hair and tried to make her look like Ginger Rogers or someone.

Doris did a radio interview in which she says she wanted Richard Harris because she liked his work in the 1963 film, This Sporting Life. That's called spin! I doubt very much if Doris saw This Sporting Life, a sombre b&w low-budget offering that is probably very good but you can't be bothered to wa...

Great banners from Bryan & Puck. I like the 'Goodnight, Doris." and 'Goodnight, Rock." on the banner, it illustrates the gentle friendship between them. Rock had many other leading ladies but apart from Liz Taylor, I don't think he bonded with any as much as he did with Doris.

Welcome to the forum, Simon, glad you decided to join us at last!

What are your favourite songs and films of Doris? Maybe top three or so, apart from Que Sear, Sera?

I don't like the idea of ALL of her possessions being sold off - including her awards. Couldn't they go to a museum in Cincinnati or somewhere? What about some going to family or relatives?

Wonderful photo, thanks Bryan and Ania!

Yes, welcome! This is a bit of an unusual place. For one thing, the people are very genuine and there is no advertising or attempts to extract money from you! Often it's a very quite place and you can almost feel the tumbleweed blowing through it! And then, suddenly, it's a hive of activity. :) The ...

I still miss Doris. Sweet picture of her.

Sometimes it's best to clear the air.

Great photo.

Agree with you, Michael.

The script gives them no real love scenes together. They talk a great deal about how much they mean to each other, but they never touch, never kiss, never embrace.” George Morris

Is that true? Actually I don't remember any kissing!

I like I'll See You in My Dreams - one of those films you enjoyed watching on TV at the weekend. It's an interesting story, well acted by the usual Warner Bros players. I'd like to see it again but it hasn't been onTV for awhile.

Great reporting, Johny! I really enjoyed reading all of that. Thank you,

Why was Doris, who excelled in playing strong career women on screen, such a pushover for Melcher?

Good idea - easy to foget how her singing added to her appeal so much. I thought there would be more than 11 albums for some reason - but there were many film hits without albums, Teacher's Pet. Que Sera, Sera, etc.

Can't disagree with that, Jas! She did look great and it's a very funny film.

I'm sure they didn't comment out of regard for Doris. She was just telling her story and not inviting co-stars to open up old wounds. Ultimately he betrayed her, in that he wasn't honest with her and used her talent and money for his own gratification. Could you justify doing that to your partner? I...

When Doris Day traveled to London to film some of the location scenes for this film, she was so popular with the British that when she arrived at her hotel, mobs of fans who had gotten word that she would be staying there had gathered. Pandemonium erupted when they saw her, and she needed a police ...

Yes, it's a real classic with a marvelous soudtrack - and very funny!
