Happy 90th Birthday to Doris Day!

Posted by: PlayWiz 12:08 am EDT 04/03/14
Best wishes to the biggest female movie box-office star in film history, whose films included many musicals including Broadway's "The Pajama Game". Her performance as Broadway star Ruth Etting in "Love Me or Leave Me" is also among her best. She could do comedies, dramas, Hitchcock thrillers as well, plus she was a top recording star for many years. I think she might be one of the most beloved stars too; she is celebrating her birthday raising money for animals which has been her passion for many years.

If only she had tried Broadway at some point! Certainly she was in the running for film musicals "South Pacific" and "The Sound of Music"; she would have been terrific in those and quite a few others. She might have pulled off "Hello, Dolly!" and perhaps maybe even have been in the ballpark for the difficult-to-cast "Mame".

All the best, Doris!
