Description
"Doris Day (born Doris Mary Ann Kappelhoff; April 3, 1922 or 1924) is a retired American actress and singer, and continuing animal welfare activist.
Day began her career as a big band singer in 1939. Her popularity began to rise after her first hit recording "Sentimental Journey", in 1945. After leaving Les Brown & His Band of Renown to embark on a solo career, Day started her long-lasting partnership with Columbia Records, which remained her only recording label. The contract lasted from 1947 to 1967 and included more than 650 recordings, making Day one of the most popular and acclaimed singers of the 20th century. She received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and a Legend Award from the Society of Singers."
For years it has been rumored she was going to be given an honorary Oscar, but it hasn't yet happened. I suspect she doesn't want to appear in public after being out of the limelight for decades.
