I'm sorry to hear about Shirley Horn, a great jazz singer. On her CD entitled "Loving You," she does a jazzy version of Doris' "Should I Surrender." Very tasty. May she rest in peace.

Bryan: the photo you've got is a great one, and if you do change it, the photo from the "Duet" album is also a good choice.

"Day By Day" would also be a good choice. I love what she does with it.

Bettty and Ralph: You guys made me laugh out loud with your funny comments ... thanks!

I voted average for this one. It's the only film, I believe, where Doris truly acted like a "virgin." It just was not believable that a good looking dame like DD, who was not a kid, would put up such a battle to hold on to her virginity! It did have its moments, however - I love the scene at the aut...

"Teacher's Pet" is one of my all-time favorites. Despite the age difference, I thought Gable and DD had a good sexual chemistry going between them. The script was so well-written, and the performances are first class all the way. Doris never looked better and the scene in the classroom where she des...

I think the Bee Gees are one of the GREATEST groups ever. What a wonderful sound!

Katie: You're thinking of Mamie Van Doren. She wrote that she and DD did not get along while filming "Teacher's Pet."

It was just a brief meeting. I was working at a public relations firm and BS was a client. She threw a big fundraiser in her backyard for her politician buddy Bella Abzug. I was working at the fundraiser ... I was just introduced to her, we said a few pleasantries and that was it. From what I observ...

I've always enjoyed La Streisand, a good actress, a director and such a wonderful singer! She'll never replace my number one gal (guess who?), but she's certainly one of my top ten favorites! I had the pleasure of meeting her back in the mid 70s ... very nice!

Mandy Moore recorded her own version of "Secret Love." It wasn't bad at all. I think it was on the soundtrack recording of the Julia Roberts film, "Mona Lisa Smile."

TP: Those songs don't belong to Doris. They're standards. She didn't introduce them. She, as well as many other fine singers, have performed them. They're all a part of what is known as "the great american songbook."

I've had the pleasure of knowing Ray for a number of years now ... he IS a wonderful fella ... Hooray for Ray!

If I remember correctly, Bob Hope felt a certain allegiance to Frances Langford, who had been singing with him for awhile. She was troubled (I believe), so Hope, being a nice guy, didn't want to let her go.

Teacher's_Pet wrote: "Doris is amazing--I know she was forced to do the series; however, when I watch it even with that knowledge, I would never know. She is a true professional. She seemed to really care for everyone in the cast. Philip Brown even said she was like his "second" mother, and he looke...

Here are some shots of Doris and Lucy at an 'Actors & Others for Animals' event in 1971.







Enjoy!

"When I Fall in Love" was not a DD movie song. It was a hit single release.
