Doris Day’s Most Iconic Musical Moments in Cinema History
Discover Doris Day’s best musical moments in film that left a lasting impression, showcasing her charm and talent in Hollywood’s golden era.
It has been fifty years since Doris Day starred in her last film. Acclaimed by the public, she is still considered one of the greatest singers in cinema. At her peak, she could be seen alongside great stars. Rock Hudson is undoubtedly her most remembered partner, although they only shared the screen three times.
The most famous virgin in cinema was born in Ohio, on April 3, 1924. As a child, she wanted to dedicate herself to ballet, becoming a professional. But an accident changed the course of her life. Unable to continue dancing, she began to sing, and we all know what the result was. Hired by a radio station, she sang in several cities in America and ended up making her way to the cinema in 1947. In “Romance on the High Seas” (1948), she sang “It’s Magic”, receiving her first Oscar nomination.
After that, she became famous for her films in which she played virginal and marriageable young women. In 1959, she received another Oscar nomination, and this time she lost to Simone Signoret. The actress had many contractual problems, being stolen by one of her husbands and manager. After the death of her third husband, Marty, she decided to retire from the screen. Between 1968 and 1973, she hosted a TV show, “The Doris Day Show”, and dedicated herself to social causes. Her only son, musician Terry, died in 2003, at the age of 62, after suffering from cancer. Currently, the nonagenarian actress lives in seclusion on a farm in California. Doris, star of films such as “Calamity Jane”, “Young at Heart” and “The Man Who Knew Too Much”, is one of the greatest singers the world has ever seen. To her, we have all our respect and admiration.
