Careers
Early career (1938-1947)
While recovering from a car accident, Day starts singing alongside the radio and finds talent that he does not know he has. Day said: "During this long and tedious period, I usually spend a lot of time listening to the radio, sometimes singing along with the likes of Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Tommy Dorsey, and Glenn Miller. the only radio voice I heard above Ella Fitzgerald's other, there was a quality of sound that fascinated me, and I sang along with it, trying to grasp the subtle way he put his voice, which was casual but clean, the way he sang the words. "
Watching her daughter sing Alma's interest in the show business, and she decides to give Doris a singing lesson. He involves a teacher, Grace Raine. After three lessons, Raine told Alma that young Doris had "tremendous potential"; Raine was so impressed that she gave Doris three lessons a week for the price of one. Years later, Day said that Raine had the greatest influence on her singing style and her career.
For eight months he took singing lessons, Day had his first professional job as vocalist, on the Carlin Carnival radio program WLW While working for Rapp in 1939, he adopted the stage name "Hari", at the suggestion of Rapp. Rapp feels that "Kappelhoff" is too long for marquees, and he admires the rendition of the song "Day After Day". After working with Rapp, Day worked with bandleaders Jimmy James, Bob Crosby, and Les Brown. While working with Brown, Day scored his first hit record, "Sentimental Journey", released in early 1945. It soon became the national anthem of the demobilization of World War II troops to return home. The song is still associated with the Day, and he was re-recorded on several occasions, including a special television version of 1971. During 1945-46, Day (as vocalist with Les Brown Band) had six other top ten hits on the Billboard : "My Dreams Are Better All Time", "'Tain't Me", "Until The End of Time", "You Will Not Be Satisfied (Until You Break My Heart)", "The World Sings My Song", and " I Got the Sun at Mornin '". In the 1950s he became the most popular singer and one of the highest paid singers in America. Beginning of the film career (1948-1954)
While singing with the band Les Brown and for nearly two years on Bob Hope's weekly radio program, he toured extensively throughout the United States. His popularity as a radio player and vocalist, which included a second hit record of "My Dreams Becoming Better All Time", instantly leads to a career in film. In 1941, Day appeared as a singer in three Soundies with the band Les Brown.
Her performance of the song "Embraceable You" made songwriter Jule Styne and her partner, Sammy Cahn, and they recommended her role in Romance on the High Seas (1948). Day got part after audition for director Michael Curtiz. He was surprised to be offered a role in the film, and confessed to Curtiz that he was a singer with no acting experience. But he says that he likes that "he's honest," not afraid to admit it, and he wants someone who "looks like an All-American Girl," he feels. She was the most proud of her career.
The film gave him a # 2 hit as a soloist, "It's Magic", followed by his first two month hit # 1 ("Love Somebody" in 1948) recorded as a duet with Buddy Clark. Day recorded "Someone Like You", before the 1949 movie My Dream Is Yours, which featured the song.
In 1950, US soldiers in Korea chose him as their favorite star. She continues to make small and often nostalgic musicals such as In Moonlight Bay , With Glare Moon Light , and Tea For Two for the Warner brothers.
His most commercially successful film for Warner is I'll See You in My Dream (1951), which broke the 20-year box-office record. This film is a musical biography of the lyricist Gus Kahn. It was the fourth movie Hari directed by Curtiz.
In 1953, Day appeared as a title character in western-themed comedy music, Calamity Jane . A song from the movie, "Secret Love", won the Academy Award for Best Original Song and became the No. 1 No. 1 singles in the US.
Between 1950 and 1953, the albums of six musical films charted in the Top 10, three in No. 1. After filming Lucky Me with Bob Cummings and Young at Heart both 1954 with Frank Sinatra Day chose not to renew his contract with Warner Brothers.
During this period, Hari also has his own radio program, The Doris Day Show . It was broadcast on CBS in 1952-1953.
Breakthrough (1955-1958)
Once known as a musical comedy actress, Day gradually took on a more dramatic role to expand her reach. Her dramatic turn as singer Ruth Etting in Love Me or Leave Me (1955), starring James Cagney, receives critical and commercial success, becoming the biggest hit of the day so far. Day said it was her best movie appearance. Producer Joe Pasternak said, "I was surprised that Doris did not get an Oscar nomination." The soundtrack album of the movie was hit No. 1.
Hari starred in the tension film Alfred Hitchcock, The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956) with James Stewart. She sang two songs in the movie, "Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will, Akan)", which won the Academy Award for Best Original Song, and "We Love Love Again". The film is the 10th movie of the Day that entered in the top 10 at the box office. In 1956, Day played the title role in Julie's thriller/noir with Louis Jourdan.

He starred alongside Richard Widmark and Gig Young in the romantic comedy The Tunnel of Love (1958), but found less success than Jack Lemmon at Happened to Jane (1959).
Billboard The national annual poll of disc jockeys has placed Day as the No. 1 female vocalist nine times in ten years (1949 to 1958), but his success and popularity as a singer is now being overshadowed by its box-office appeal.
The success of box-office (1959-1968)
In 1959, Hari entered her most successful phase as a film actress with a series of romantic comedies. This success began with Pillow Talk (1959), starring Rock Hudson, who became lifelong friend, and Tony Randall. Day received a nomination for an Academy Award for Best Actress. Day, Hudson, and Randall made two more films together, Lover Come Back (1961) and Send Me No Flowers (1964).
She starred with David Niven and Janis Paige on hit Please Do not Eat the Daisies . In 1962, Day emerged with Cary Grant in the Mink Touch comedy, the first ever film in history to have earned $ 1 million in a theater (Radio City Music Hall). During 1960 and the period 1962 to 1964, he was ranked first at the box office, the second woman became number one four times. He set an unprecedented record that has not been equaled, receiving seven Laurel Awards in a row as a top female box office star.
Day teamed up with James Garner, starting with The Thrill of It All, followed by Move Over, Darling (both 1963). The movie theme song, "Move Over Darling", co-authored by his son, reached # 8 in the UK. Among these comedic roles, Day starred alongside Rex Harrison in the thriller movie Midnight Lace (1960), an update of the classical stage thriller, Gaslight .
In the late 1960s, the baby boomer's sexual revolution has refocused public attitudes about sex. Times are changing, but the movie of the day is not. The next day's film, Do Not Disturb (1965), was popular with viewers, but its popularity soon diminished. Criticism and comics dubbed "The World's Oldest Virgin" Day, and spectators began to shy away from the films. As a result, he slipped from a list of top-flight offices, most recently appearing in the top ten in 1966 with the hit film The Glass Bottom Boat . One of the roles he rejected was "Mrs. Robinson" at The Graduate, a role that eventually went to Anne Bancroft. In his published memoir, Day said he had rejected the section for moral reasons: he found the script "vulgar and offensive".
He starred in the western movie The Ballad of Josie (1967). In the same year, Day recorded The Love Album, though it was not released until 1994. The following year (1968), she starred in the comedy movie Where Are You When the Lights Out? centered on the extinction of Northeast November 9, 1965.

From 1959 to 1969, he received six Golden Globe nominations for best female performance in three comedies, one drama ( Midnight Lace), a musical ( Jumbo ), and his television series. Bankruptcy and television career
When his third husband Martin Melcher died on April 20, 1968, a surprising Day found that Melcher and his business partner Jerome Bernard Rosenthal had wasted his income, leaving him in debt. Rosenthal has been her lawyer since 1949, when she represented her in her undisputed divorce act against her second husband, saxophonist George W. Weidler. Day filed a lawsuit against Rosenthal in February 1969, won a successful decision in 1974, but received no compensation until completion in 1979.
Day also learns to his displeasure that Melcher has handed him over to the television series, which became The Doris Day Show .
"That's terrible", Hari said OK! Magazine in 1996. "I really was not very good when Marty [Melcher] died, and the thought of getting into TV too strong, but he has enrolled me for the series, and then my son Terry [Melcher] I walked in Beverly Hills and explained that it was not the end of it, I have also signed up for many TV shows, all without anyone ever asking me. "
Day hates the idea of ​​appearing on television, but feels obliged to it. The first episode of The Doris Day Show was aired on September 24, 1968, and, from 1968 to 1973, used "Que Sera, Sera" as the theme song. Day reluctantly survives (he needs a job to help pay off his debt), but only after CBS hands over creative controls to him and his son. Successful shows were enjoyed for five years, and functioned as a curtain hanger for the popular Carol Burnett Show . This is remembered today due to the sudden season-to-season changes in casting and premise.
At the end of his journey in 1973, public taste has changed and his firm personality is regarded as a passà © Å ©. He mostly retired from acting after The Doris Day Show, but completed two television specials, The Doris Mary Anne Kappelhoff Special (1971) and Doris Day to Day (1975). He appeared on John Denver's special TV in 1974.
In the 1985-86 season, Hari hosted his own television talk show, Doris Day's Companion , at CBN. The network canceled the show after 26 episodes, despite the worldwide publicity it received.
1980s and 1990s
In October 1985, the California Supreme Court rejected Rosenthal's appeal of a multimillion-dollar ruling against him for legal malpractice, and justified the conclusion of the court and the High Court that Rosenthal was acting improperly. In April 1986, the US Supreme Court refused to review the lower court ruling. In June 1987, Rosenthal filed a lawsuit worth 30 million dollars against a lawyer who claimed to have cheated him out of millions of dollars in real estate investing. He referred to Hari as one of the defendants, describing him as "an unwilling and voluntary plaintiff whose consent can not be obtained". Rosenthal claims that millions of dollars Lost days are in real estate that was sold after Melcher died in 1968, where Rosenthal insists that lawyers advise Day, telling him to sell, with losses, three hotels, in Palo Alto, California, Dallas, Texas and Atlanta, Georgia and some oil rentals in Kentucky and Ohio.
Rosenthal claims he has invested under a long-term plan, and has no intention of selling it until they value his value. Two hotels were sold in 1970 at a price of about $ 7 million, and the estimated price in 1986 was $ 50 million. In July 1984, after a panel of hearings from the High Court of Appeal, after 80 days of testimony and documentary proof consideration, the panel accused Rosenthal of 13 different offense actions and urged his exclusion in 34 pages of undocumented opinion. The State Bar Court review department confirmed the panel's findings, which called on judges to order the dissolution of Rosenthal. He continued to represent clients in federal court until the US Supreme Court ruled against it on March 21, 1988. The dismissal by the US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals followed on August 19, 1988. The California Supreme Court, in affirming ostracism, stated that Rosenthal had been involved in transactions involving conflict undisclosed interests, taking a position to the detriment of his former clients, excessive fees, double charges for legal fees, failing to restore client files, failing to grant access to records, failing to provide adequate legal advice, failing to grant clients the opportunity to obtain independent advisers, cheating, giving false testimony, engaging in behaviors designed to harass his client, delaying judicial proceedings, obstructing fair and abused legal processes. Rosenthal died August 15, 2007, at the age of 96 years.
Terry Melcher stated that his foster father's early death rescued Hari from financial ruin. It remains unresolved whether Martin Melcher himself has also been deceived. Day declared openly that she believed her husband was innocent of a deliberate mistake, stating that she "just believes the wrong person".
According to the autobiography of the day, as told to A. E. Hotchner, Martin Melcher who is normally athletic and healthy has an enlarged heart. Most of the interviews about the problems given to Hotchner (and included in Day's autobiography) paint an unflattering portrait of Melcher. Writer David Kaufman confirmed that one actress of the Day, actor Louis Jourdan, stated that Day itself did not like her husband, but that day's public statement about Melcher seemed to contradict the statement.
Day is scheduled to attend, along with Patrick Swayze and Marvin Hamlisch, the Best Original Score Broker at the 61st Academy Awards in March 1989 but he suffered deep foot injuries and was unable to attend. He walks past his hotel garden as he cuts his feet in a sprinkler. The required stitches are cut off.
Day was inducted into the Ohio Women's Hall of Fame in 1981 and received the Cecil B. DeMille Award for career achievement in 1989. In 1994, Greatest Hits Hari's album became another entry into the UK charts. The song "Maybe, Maybe, Maybe" is included in the soundtrack of the Australian movie Strictly Ballroom and is the theme song for the British TV show Coupling with Mari Wilson performing the song for the title sequence.

Day rejected the tribute offer from the American Film Institute and from the Kennedy Center Honors because they needed a live presence. In 2004, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President George W. Bush for his achievements in the entertainment industry and for his work on behalf of animals. President Bush stated:
In the years since, he has defended his fans and demonstrated the breadth of his talent in television and film.

This is a good day for America when Doris Marianne von Kappelhoff from Evanston, Ohio decides to be an entertainer. This is a good day for fellow beings when he gives his kindness to animal welfare. Doris Day is a great one, and America will always love her lover.
Columnist Liz Smith and film critic Rex Reed set up a powerful campaign to garner support for the Honorary Academy Award for the Day to mark his film career and his status as the top box-office star of all time. The day received a Grammy for Lifetime Achievement in Music in 2008, though again in absentia.
She received three Grammy Hall of Fame Awards, in 1998, 1999 and 2012 for recording "Sentimental Journey", "Secret Love", and "Que Sera, Sera", respectively. Day was inducted into the Hit Parade Hall of Fame in 2007, and in 2010 received the first Leg Legend ever presented by the Society of Singers.
2010s
Day, aged 89, released My Heart in the UK on September 5, 2011, his first new album in nearly two decades, since the release of The Love Album , which, though recorded in the year 1967, was not released until 1994. The album is a compilation of previously unreleased recordings produced by Day's son Terry Melcher before his death in 2004. Tracks including the 1970s Joe Cocker hit "You Are So Beautiful", The Beach Boys' "Girls Disney" and jazz standards like "My Buddy", originally sung in the 1951 film I'll See You in My Dreams.

Clint Eastwood offered Doris Day a role in a film he planned to address in 2015. Although he is reportedly in talks with Eastwood, his neighbor in Carmel, about the role in the film, he finally refuses.
Personal life
Since retiring from the film, Day has lived in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. She has many pets and adopts wild animals. He gives ABC's phone interview on his birthday in 2016, which is accompanied by photos of his life and his career.
Day was a lifelong Republican, and supported George W. Bush's presidential campaign in 2000. The only son, music producer and songwriter Terry Melcher, who hit in 1960 with "Hey Little Cobra" under the name The Rip Chords, died because of melanoma in 2004, about five months after Day has received the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He owns a hotel in Carmel-by-the-Sea, Cypress Inn, owned by Melcher with his mother.
Wedding
In 1975, Hari published his autobiography, Doris's Day: The Own Story , a work that was "notified" to A. E. Hotchner. The book details the first three marriages:
- For Al Jorden, a trombonist he first met in Barney Rapp's Band, from March 1941 to 1943. His only child, Terrence Paul Jorden's son (later known as Terry Melcher), was produced from this marriage. Jorden's husband, who reportedly committed physical violence on Day, committed suicide in 1967 with gunfire.
- To George William Weidler (a saxophonist), from 30 March 1946 to 31 May 1949. Weidler, brother of Virginia Weidler, and Day met again a few years later. During a brief reconciliation, he helped introduce him to Christian Science.
- To Martin Melcher, whom he married on April 3, 1951, his 29th birthday. This marriage lasted until Melcher's death in 1968. Melcher adopted the son of Day Terry, who, by the name of Terry Melcher, became a musician and record producer success. Martin Melcher produces many films today. He and Melcher both practiced Christian Scientists, which resulted in him not seeing a doctor for some time after symptoms that showed cancer. This sad period ended when, finally consulting with the doctor, and thus found the lump was benign, he fully recovered.
After publishing his autobiography, Day remarried:
- His fourth marriage, from April 14, 1976 to 1981, was to Barry Comden (March 30, 1935 - May 25, 2009), which is roughly a decade younger. Comden is maÃÆ'®tre d'hÃÆ'Â'tel at one of Day's favorite restaurants. Knowing his love for love for dogs, Comden loves him to Day by giving him a bag of bacon and bone on the way out of the restaurant. When this marriage breaks down, Comden complains that Day cares more about her "animal friends" than she does.
Animal welfare activism
The day's interest in animal welfare and related issues comes from his teenage years. While recovering from a car accident, he took his dog Tiny to walk without a rope. Tiny ran into the street and was killed by a passing car. Days later expressed guilt and loneliness about Tiny's sudden death. In 1971 he co-founded Actors and Others for Animals, and appeared in a series of newspaper ads denouncing the use of feathers, along with Mary Tyler Moore, Angie Dickinson, and Jayne Meadows. Today's friend, Cleveland Amory, wrote about this incident in Kind Man? Our Extraordinary War with Wildlife (1974).
In 1978, Day founded the Doris Day Pet Foundation, now Doris Day Animal Foundation (DDAF). The non-profit public donation charity 501 (c) (3), the DDAF is funding other nonprofit causes across the US that share the DDAF's mission to help the animals and their loved ones. DDAF continues to operate independently under the personal supervision of Day.
To complete the Doris Day Animal Foundation, Day established the Doris Day Animal League (DDAL) in 1987, a national non-profit national lobbying organization whose mission is to reduce pain and suffering and protect animals through legislative initiatives. Today actively lobbying the United States Congress to support legislation designed to protect animal welfare on a number of occasions and in 1995 he started the annual Spay Day USA. DDAL merged into the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) in 2006. HSUS now manages World Spay Day, a one day spay/neutral annual event dating from Day.
