How many movies did she and Rock Hudson co-star in?

A LOT!

I can't believe this thread hasn't had a lot more action than it has.

I guess that's because JTV and I are old farts and were very familiar with Doris Day when we were growing up.

Most of the rest here, apparently, not so much.

You young'uns missed some great times.

Most houses in your neighborhood were full of WW II vets and every couple had 3-5 kids.

Back then, 'dope' meant just one thing - someone like AOC.

Back then, there were only two genders.

Back then, even Dems and liberals loved America and supported our military.

Back then, being "PC" was a term which had not yet been invented.

Back then, families mattered and everyone either went to church on Sunday or to synagogue on Saturday.

Back then, public schools taught reading, writing, US history, and arithmetic. They did not teach crap like 'social justice,' 'gender fluidity,' nor economic equality.

Even better, there were no 'famous for being famous' national embarrassments like the Kardashians and their ilk.

Indeed, as Mary Hopkins sang, "Those Were The Days, My Friend."

Back then.... she had no idea Rock Hudson was gay. It wasn’t something people talked about then. R.I.P. Doris.

BB,

No one knew "The ROCK" was gay until a long time after that.

Everyone thought Hudson was the epitome of "A Man's Man."

Then we found out he was, just not in the way we thought.

I recall insiders knew Da' Rock was gay way back when but it was kept under wraps. Alot of folks didn't know Raymond Burr was gay either.

I always liked Doris Day. She was a classy lady. I thought she handled the media well when she was peppered with questions about kissing Rock after he contracted AID's.

"back then, there were only two genders". Actually today there are only two genders, that will never change. It's just that today we have a lot of confused individuals concerning this issue.

I was a real young kid when DD was popular but I sure do remember her movies and songs growing up. God bless her.

Marilyn was smart?

Really?

What she was, was very insecure and she killed herself because she thought guys only wanted her for her body.

Nice work, JFK, RFK and Teddy!

If Marilyn didn't kill herself, how did she die?

I remember my mother singing along with Doris in the kitchen when Que Sera Sera was played on the old AM radio she had there. I was 5 years old, and I'll never forget either one of them.

Annony Mouse's Link
Not the link I read a few days ago, but the same story and details: CIA assassin relates about 37 targets of the CIA.

Back to thread topic: Doris Day...beautiful, talented and part of American film history. Saw a lot of her films growing up.

Dope or pop was a soda when I was growing up in Appalachia...

Doris Day's foundation is tied directly to the Humane Society of the US and the SPCA. Sorry to hear of her passing, but I don't share her views on many things.
