Re: NPR Greatest Voice Poll
Did I really write 'vice' ? Too funny. Thanks for the correction, Bryan. I hope everyone is voting for Doris. The movie is 96% done. Needs more tweaking. I got a young guy to edit it. He's quite good. I'm planning a fundraising/ Doris Day tribute/ movie showing evening. I'll give you more details wh...

NPR Greatest Voice Poll
Hi Everybody, There is an important poll on NPR( public radio in the US) regarding the 50 greatest voices. Although more than 1600 posts have been posted, Doris hasn't been mentioned more than 10 times. All her contemporaries like Rosemary Clooney, Frank sinatra, Peggy Lee, Mel Torme, not to mention...

Re: Just Back From a Weekend in Carmel
Michael,your post and pictures bring back great memories of Carmel and the Cypress Inn, We never saw Doris , but felt her presence. I felt so at home in her Inn. It was great meeting other DD fans. Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year to All.

Re: Doris Day: Misleading and intrusive media reporting
A great translation, Marion. Not an easy thing to do. It's great that Doris' fans are actively standing up against the lies and half-truths written about her. It just shows our love and respect for her.

Re: Doris Day: Misleading and intrusive media reporting
Bryan, I can attest to the fact that you're a very nice person,aswell, and am greatful that you give us all a forum to celebrate Doris. I'm glad you enjoyed the raw footage of the movie. Always nice to get encouragement. Howard, it's a mystery to me when the film will be done. My editors have abando...

Wow Debbi! I'm very impressed. Your video was both enjoyable and informative. You'd make a great PR person for Doris. If that doesn't pan out , you can help me edit my film.

Re: Doris Day: Misleading and intrusive media reporting
Sheila, I think many of us suspected that Doris was going to be adversly affected by those books, I just happened to write about it a while back. I hope Doris knows that we are all behind her 100% and won't support the publications that exploit her. Is 2:30 at York, horse racing? Maybe, I should use...

Re: Important Statement about Doris Day by her friends
Well written Bryan. The excessive , recent media scrutiny of Doris amounts to stalking. Everything about her life is totally taken out of context. She really doesn't deserve that. Unfortunately, the recent books written about her fuel the unfounded stories. As fans we can spread the truth and this f...

Dear Tanja,
I'm so glad you are better and posting again. Carmel was a good step in your healing process. It took great strength and courage to get help and to stick with it. Now, keep on till you are fully healed. I'm looking forward to seeing you again.

Re: Celebrating Doris
Bryan, What gave Doris her 'virgin' image were the sex comedies. In the fifties all the young women were expected to be virgins and that was not even an issue. Just look at Sabrina, Roman Holiday, Tammy movies. No one saddled Audrey Hepburn and Debbie Reynolds with the virgin image, but, they certai...

I read somewhere that Oprah likes Doris and I can imagine Doris likes Oprah or she would not have mentioned Oprah on the radio show. I'm with Bryan. They are both great women who have done great things for the world. We don't know that Oprah hasn't been asking Doris for years for an interview. But, ...

Re: Jas' cat has died
My sympathies, Jas. I can imagine you are very sad. I know how close one can get to a pet. They become our family. My dear dog , Murphy, died over a year ago and I still have his ashes at home. I miss him as you miss Laurie.

Re: Celebrating Doris
Now, that's celebrating Doris! That was thoroughly enjoyable , Bryan. I've never heard Doris' comments on this movie. Where did you get that? Great pictures, Lloyd. Also, a thanks to all the members who make the great You Tube videos. Your creativity and effort are appreciated.

You are both right. The agents and managers have a lot of influence. I think Doris reacted the way she did because she was given the wrong message. Whereby she thought Ronnell Bright didn't want to work with her, he wasn't comfortable with her accompanist. It had nothing to do with Doris for whom Br...
