Hi Robert, You are correct. David Hartman hosted Good Morning America when he conducted the series of interviews with Doris. They were shown over a consecutive four day period in March 1983. I believe this was her first televised interview since 1976 when she was promoting her book. Indeed, the rapp...

Dear Johnny,

Thank you for your comments. I'm so glad you liked the video. Doris makes it so easy. Her radiance and warmth inspire me and I was thrilled to honor her this way.

Stay safe and healthy. We need your positivity on this forum now more than ever.

Below is the second video that we created for the fan event last week. It is a tribute to The Doris Day Show, its star (naturally) and the talented supporting cast. This video wouldn't have happened without the wonderful Scott Dreier who guided me through it. Michael https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...

Doris Day's Awards, Animal Artifacts Haul In $3M At Auction

I'm pretty sure it was not taken in Spain. That outcropping on the left looks quite a bit like Morro Rock, which is about 100 miles south of Monterey. Morro Bay is about 20 miles north of Pismo Beach. There are photos of the Melchers in Monterey in the early 1950s, and they also went to Pismo Beach...

It’s an amazing shot but I’m not positive it was taken in Spain. Some think the backdrop is Lake Tahoe.

Hi Peter, I am really enjoying the April in Paris rehearsal photos of Doris and the dancers. They will help me appreciate the film more next time I watch it. Doris' energy and enthusiasm in these rehearsal photos is really impressive. Thank you. I agree Johnny. These photos reminded me that Virgini...

Great question. I don't see anything on the Amazon page indicating these are remasterd versions. My guess is they are re-releasing them in honor of her birthday and perhaps to capitalize on widespread interest generated by the estate auction. Here is a link to the Amazon page. https://www.amazon.com...

Dear Peter, I'm speechless about the latest round of photos from you. How you find so many rare gems is beyond me, for example, the BW photos of Jimmy Stewart playing the piano on TMWKTM set. They are so special. I also appreciate how you credit the original photographer whenever possible. The color...

Bryan, Did you see the beautiful birthday Doris Day Retrospective posted by the Doris Day Animal Foundation? I tried to upload it to the forum but was unsuccessful. https://www.dorisday.com/multimedia/video/2020-doris-tribute You can access the DDAF video by clicking on the link above. Lots of outt...

Lovely video Michael. You captured the essence of what made her so special to so many of us- to the extent that I even teared up over "Ill see You in my Dreams". Cant wait to see your next one..no pressure mate...lol cheers Scott Scott, thank you for your thoughtful reply. I really appreciate it. Y...

Love the new banner from Puck. Kate McKay is one of my favorite Doris characters. Judy & Robert, So glad you guys liked the video. It was pure joy to work on it. Robert, that's good news about your airfare vouchers. Happy to hear that, sad we didn't get to meet each other. Be well, stay safe.... Mic...

I created this video to honor the actors who played Doris’s children in her films and television series. It was supposed to be part of the Fan Event that was scheduled for tonight at Julien’s Auction Gallery. Because we weren’t able to view it together as a group, I felt it would be appropriate to s...

New video tour of the estate auction.

Bryan, I wanted to say thanks again for keeping the forum open. Beyond providing a place for fans to share their grief about losing Doris, it has given us a safe harbor to comment and feel connected in an era of isolation and social distancing. You've demonstrated a tremendous sense of leadership an...

This comment has a sad ring of truth about it. Mandel is legendary in the recording industry. He's worked on Grammy award winning albums with the likes of Streisand, Sinatra, Count Basie, Peggy Lee, Tony Bennett and many other top tier artists. He is also the composer of many classic pop songs inclu...

Judy, that's encouraging news about the auction. Thank you. I've been watching Julien's video over and over because seeing the inside of Overlook brightens my spirits in these dark times. I love all of the windows, skylights and high vaulted ceilings which bring the natural light into her home. It's...

This is a very nice tribute to the Day / Hudson comedies. I always felt that PT and LCB were as good or better than the Tracy / Hepburn comedies from the late 40's and 50's. The satirical jabs against Madison Avenue in LCB had bite and the gay subtext in PT was pretty daring for its time. I loved se...

That's a great graphic. Very 50's Sci Fi with the BW reaction shot of Doris against the green virus backdrop.

I love the dark humor of this.

Michael

We're under lock down too. I live in the Kansas City metro where the number of cases is starting to rise quickly. We just learned that we know the family of the first person who died in our area. That news was hard to take.

Has anyone been bidding on Doris items online?

Stay safe everyone.

Michael

A little humor goes a long way to help alleviate the negativity in the news today. It's very much appreciated.

Everyone stay safe and remain healthy.

Michael

I agree - we live in strange times with so much confusion and uncertainty. The cancellation is indeed disappointing but it was the responsible thing to do. I feel for everyone who comes down with this virus and their loved ones too. The fans will hopefully find a way to gather at some point in the f...

No official announcement about the LA events yet but in view of yesterday's news, I suspect they will be canceled. We just have to take a wait and see approach, but non-essential air travel is questionable at this point. Julien's has posted all of the 1,190 items up for sale. You can view them here....

Spring has sprung on the forum thanks to Bryan and the uber talented Puck. Love it.

Michael

Johnny, I feel a strong emotional connection to her through her recordings and her films. You've mentioned before that her emotional intelligence is something you responded to and I understand that completely. She was the first movie star who radiated something magical on the screen for me. There wa...
