As much as I think she deserves any and every honor bestowed on her, she is a wise woman to avoid a pressured public appearance. Perhaps she watched the public humiliation given to Kim Novak this year or when Kate Smith was paraded in front of the cameras for a "special Emmy" when she was old, wheelchair bound and a husk of her vigorous self. You mentioned Mary Pickford. That was a hideous travesty that her loving husband never should allowed. She looked to be a deluded old woman with a "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane" fixation. Not the bold, funny and shrewd pioneer of film, she had been. Resist the temptation, Doris! Audiences are cruel and the internet lethal to anyone who looks their age or, in Novak's case tries to maintain the illusion of youth. Let us remember you as the great, ageless, kind and talented woman you were in your prime.
