If there had been no Doris Day, it's safe to say there
would be no Sandra Bullock, Meg Ryan--maybe even Linda Hamilton.
Day's no-nonsense sexiness as the girl next door unafraid to match
wits with any man still lights up the screen. She shines as sparring
partner to Rock Hudson in their infectious romantic comedies,
but she can carry a film solo (Calamity Jane) or give a nuanced
performance in darker fare like Hitchcock. And then there's that
sunny voice, testament to her previous career as a big-band singer.
So, film lovers: que sera, sera. Trust us. Doris
Day films include
Calamity Jane
Pillow Talk
Young at Heart
Lover Come Back
The Man Who Knew Too Much
The Pajama Game
The Thrill of It All
