Re: PLANS FOR DORIS' BIRTHDAY, APRIL 2010

I hope I get to go. I have met some great people as a result of the gatherings and we had a wonderful dinner at one of Doris's favorite restaurants last year. I even got to play some of Doris''s songs while Jeanne Marie sang. What a hoot! If I do get to go this year I hope to see many old friends an...

Re: Storm Warning

Michael, I had always believed as you do that "Storm Warning" liberally borrowed from the "Streetcar Named Desire" film until I did a little research. An interesting bit of trivia is that "Storm Warning" was filmed from 11/11/49 until late January, 1950. She made this film directly after she had fil...

Ray, I don't think LLoyd was being critical. He was just expressing his opinion. I this the picture is AWFUL. I thought it was the first I saw it in a book titled, "Gotta Sing, Gotta Dance." I won't share my exact words when I first saw it because not all the people on the forum know of my twisted s...

Howard, I repectfully disagree with you who played Mother Nature in the old '70s Chiffon Margarine commercials. The actress's name is Dena Dietrich. I verified this by going to imbd.com. In fact, that old commercial is on YouTube. Have a fantastic holiday!

Gin-Gin, that was the doggy name. By the way, Ro...THANK YOU for the Happy Soap you sent me for my birthday. I received it Wednesday and have bathing with it ever since. The scent is really nice. It's on the lines of orangey-sandlewood. And, yes, I washed my hair with it too. And Ro, now I smell lik...

Speaking of music, does anyone remember an album released by Harmony Records (an offshoot of Columbia) back in the late '60s called "Doris Day Sings Her Great Movie Hits." I really liked the album and could identify each selection from a Doris Day film with the exception of one, "What Every Girl Sh...

I hope everyone is having a super Easter. I am still on my "Carmel High" and sincerely hope that next year many more can join us. Getting ready to watch "Young at Heart" because the last scene takes place on Easter. I am so thankful for this forum!

NOT TO COMPLAIN, BUT...

Am I out there alone feeling somewhat disappointed in the "extras" found in Season Four? I LOVED the "Pet Set" segment, but the others...well?? I am really looking forward to Season Five where Doris does some commentary...WOW!! Another thing that disturbs me is that it's pretty evident that no resto...

IT'S ALL GOOD

OK, my friends, I must admit I love every aspect of Doris's music, EVEN the "cutesy" stuff. Her music has always been a tonic for me. Doris's singing is good for what ails ya! Some of the cutesy songs that were recorded back in the late '40s and '50s were perfect for that time in history. Remember i...

I Have Dreamed

Richard Rodgers of Rodgers and Hammerstein fame wrote to Doris complimenting her rendition of their song, "I Have Dreamed." He stated that it was the most beautiful version of the song he'd ever heard. I agree with Mr. Rodgers. It is beautiful. In fact, the "I Have Dreamed" album is my favorite Dori...
