My anti- recluse propaganda video,lol

[Debbi Austen]

I'm, really sick of the reports that Doris is a reclusive bag lady. Some started by a man who calls her his cousin.

So I made my own video and put interviews of Doris and her friends in it that contradicted the statements made in the CBS Morning Show and the UK tabloids. Hope you enjoy it. (this is my 2nd revision.)
I misspelled John Raitt's name ,but I'm not doing it over.

Great job, Debbie! I think a wonderful antidote to combat the recent book and tabloid poison!

Hey, that was excellent, Debbi - really cheered me up - back to basics almost - Doris isn't really all that complicated when you think about it. As she said, she wanted a normal life but ended up a Hollywood movie star. She said it in a 'Que Sera, Sera' fashion - oh well, I'm still happy about it.

I think what you've done is very timely, given the... best word I can think of is stupid.. reports in stuff like .. no, I won't even mention them. I wanted to add it to the page we expressed our feelings about media coverage but you've disabled 'embed this video' - can you make it available please, Debbi, it needs to be circulated.

Thanks again and great job.

Thanks Debbie...I loved your video too.

I have friends visiting from out-of-town this weekend. They know what a Doris fan I am so they picked up the Globe for me. Little did they know...they thought they were doing me a favor.

[Debbi Austen]

Thanks everyone! One of the reasons I disable the embed is because I don't want to be accused of copyright infringement. I had that Chet Baker song up on my first account for 3 months and someone asked me to enable it. Three days later my whole account of 2 years was deleted because of that song.

What I think I'll do is link to other sites and maybe post it up in film clips in case ppl don't see it down here.
I encourage other ppl to make there own videos. I feel sad because I have a more recent documentary somewhere in which Rex Reed says something like "I waiting for there to be a part for a glamorous 80 year old."and I can't find it.

BTW did you know that Clint Eastwood made a new documentary of Doris Day? It's being criticized because she doesn't appear in it.

"BTW did you know that Clint Eastwood made a new documentary of Doris Day? It's being criticized because she doesn't appear in it."

The way I hear it, it's a documentary covering the 75th anniversary of Warner Bros. I have heard that the segment on the 50's features all of their stars, but puts special 10 minute coverage each of Doris Day and James Dean. I believe it's scheduled to appear on PBS stations this September. And I've heard it's hosted by Clint Eastwood.

Making tributes to Doris is good therapy. I made this tribute a few months ago...maybe you've already seen this on Youtube, but I"ll post it anyway, just in case.

Debbi, that anti-recluse video is just what the doctor ordered. It's wonderful how you put it together, and it makes me feel good! Thanks!

I think YouTube has chilled out a bit since it was taken over by Google, Debbi. I had the same experience as you, as did Tanja - the whole account deleted because, in my case, it said that Warner Bros complained. Then, some time later, Warner Bros Music announced they saw YouTube as free advertising and were encouraging YouTubers to play about with their content and I think attitudes changed within the company.

Having being taken over by Google, so far I've had two messages, rather than account closing, about copyright, the first said 'copyright complaint (Grammy video) please remove', the other one said ''copyright claim - video allowed, copyright owners reserve the right to place adds near your video'.I've been enabling all video embedding since I started without any problems. But you may feel 'once bitten, twice shy'.

Diane,

That was just beautiful. I cried through the whole video. That is my very favorite song that Doris sings. I love all her songs, but that is just my favorite. Thanks for doing that a such a great job. I will watch it again and maybe not cry..I know how much she loved Terry.

Diane,
I just saw your anit-recluse video. It is absolutely wonderful! This needs to go on tv. You are a real professional! I love it.
Barb

[Daisy June]

Diane,

I agree with Barb. It's wonderful!!!

Carol

[Debbi Austen]

Thanks for the correction, Howard. When I googled Doris Day this morning the first two searches that came up were those daily news articles and then the headline for Clint Eastwood making a Documentary on Doris. I didn't really look at it, but it could have been an old article about the the Doc "It's Magic" . Did he direct or produce that?

Anyway I found another video that cheered me up called "Doris Day Animal League Events"

Something I would like to see again, and I know I saw it on here sometime ago were clips from DDAL Event. Doris was there with other celebrities and Ray was there.

[BabeWilliams]

Diane, that video was beautiful. wow..

[daybyday08]

I agree that video was GREAT! Thanks for putting it together.

[John M]

Diane, your video was great, too! One of top 5 favorite Doris recordings of all time!

[suzie]

Well done diane, very nice.... Happy birthday laurie .... Glad your pj party went well.

[Barb_DDD]

Debbie,
I'm sorry I got your ant-recluse video mixed up and credited it to Diane. Your video about the real Doris is wonderful.
Barb

[Laurie]

Thanks, Suzie

It was one of my best birthdays ever. Yes, I took a lot of ribbing over Doris Day at first, but it turn out to be a real eye opener. People were sharing stories about their Doris Day memories.

I am out of town and this the first time I could get to a computer and I missed the video. What was it?


Lori

[Debbi Austen]

Happy belated birthday Laurie.

Barb no need to apologize.

Bryan, I just finished enabling the embedding on my video and now I'm crossing my fingers.

[Dianne]

Hi guys,
I need to set the record straight here. Debbie did the Anti-recluse video, NOT me and it was wonderful!! Please give her the credit where credit is due.

I posted the second youtube.

[Daisy June]

Well you both did a great job. Loved them both.

Carol

[suzie]

Im so sorry for mixing you two up, Debbie lovely job, and diane we love you too.
