Both my parents were big fans of Miss Day so whenever her movies were showing on television, we watched them. Particular favorites of ours were "Move Over Darling," "With Six You Get Egg Roll" and "Pillow Talk." Later, as an adult, I became more familiar witrh her pre-60s films including "On Moonlight Bay," "By the Light of the Silvery Moon," "Tea For Two" and - most significantly - "Calamity Jane" and "Love Me or Leave Me."
Here is Doris singing the Oscar-winning song "Secret Love" in a scene from "Calamity Jane"

And here is a funny scene from "Move Over Darling": with Polly Bergen who marries James Garner who doesn't realize his last-at-sea first wife (Doris) is not dead:

Miss Day followed up her movie career with five seasons of "The Doris Day Show" then later several pet-themed talk shows. She was also a major recording star for decades as well as the top box office star for a time.

So here's an idea: Why not award the great Doris Day with an honorary Academy Award next year. She was only nominated once and her body of work is stellar. Also, it is ridiculous that she has never been among those selected for the annual Kennedy Center Honors.

Let's honor this legend while we still have her around!
