A Very Special Day

Julie (1956, MGM)

The Glass Bottom Boat (1966, MGM)

Move Over Darling (1963, 20th Century Fox)

The legendary Doris Day turns 89 today; we'll be honoring her legacy by cozying up to as many Louis Jourdan, Rod Taylor and James Garner lookalikes as we possibly can.

  4. Jonathan Schwartz interviewed Doris for a little over an hour about six months ago. It is extremely interesting. Here is a link to the audio: http://culture.wnyc.org/articles/features/2010/oct/30/celebrating-hollywood-legend-doris-day/

  5. I used to fantasize that Doris Day was my mom when I watched her 1968 TV series. That is, until I revealed this to my mother and asked her if I was adopted. Middle school years sucked.
