Multitalented Singer actress Doris Day passed away after just turning 97. She represented the heart of Hollywood's Golden Age.
A very popular singer who recorded more than 650 songs starting with Sentimental Journey, she quickly became a movie star who proved adept in dramas, thrillers, romantic comedies, and musicals from the 1940s through 1960s including Love Me or Leave Me, Calamity Jane, The Man Who Knew Too Much, Pillow Talk, and dozens more. She later found TV series success in the 1970s which featured her signature Oscar winning song, Que Sera Sera.
She was paired numerous times with Gordon McRae, Rock Hudson or James Garner, and played opposite some of the greatest leading men of all time like Cary Grant, Clark Gable, James Cagney, and Jimmy Stewart. She was for several years the number one box office star in the early 1960s.
An animal rights activist, her wholesome appeal as the girl next door with the slow burn when ruffled, served her well with her adoring fans.
She was the epitome of a movie star beloved by millions.
