I left out one guy on the bench. Cary Grant.

Doris Day turns 97 in a few months.

I refuse to accept that. In my mind's eye, she will forever remain the DD of 60 years ago.

I'm a big Doris Day fan too. She was beautiful, a fine actress, and a great singer. She was equally good in comedy and drama.

Totally agree, Barry. As an actress, I thought she did amazing and convincing in her first dramatic role, playing James Stewart's wife in the 1955 color version of the Alfred Hitchcock thriller, "The Man Who Knew Too Much".

The second Man Who Knew Too Much is a classic, and that's where she sang Que Sera Sera.

Cary Grant was no slouch either. Very few, if any, better actors, though he was not as multi-talented as Doris.

Barry, isn't it ironic that with all of her easy, breesy movies featuring her sensational singing, she finally does a leading lady dramatic movie, and beautifully so, where she essentially sings one song---and that one song becomes her signature piece. I did a Wikipedia search, and Doris had done a thriller in 1951, Storm Warning.

Also, I made certain to edit my first post to express that she played Stewart's wife, and not "husband", as I carelessly worded. Oh well. It's all good---now.

Good health to you, sir. ---- Brian Powell
