Actress And Singer Doris Day, Hollywood's Girl Next Door, Dies At 97
Day took on meaty roles in films like The Man Who Knew Too Much and Love Me or Leave Me, but in the late '50s she settled into romantic comedies and a persona that would stick: the good girl.
Actress and singer Doris Day made nearly three dozen films and more than 600 recordings. At the height of her career, she topped both the billboard and the box office charts. Day died of pneumonia on Monday at the age of 97.
Day remains one of the most successful female movie stars of all time. She embodied the "girl next door" even shows a split screen with Day and Hudson in their separate bathtubs, only it like they're in the same one — with their feet touching. Kind of risqué for 1959.
