Re: nice picture from kaye ballard's new book
All I can find on Amazon.com is a book that came out in 2006, called How I lost 10 pounds in 53 years: a memoir by Kaye Ballard. It was published by Back stage Books.

Re: It Happened to Jane
I was 4 years old when this movie came out in the theater. I actually didn't see it until last year when I ran across it in the public library collection. We enjoyed watching it, but I thought the train sequence was a little long. The lobster was really cute. It is amazing that this movie was not at...

Re: Ike
Galveston got hit pretty hard on the beaches; they have a "seawall" that usually catches the waves, and "the surge" was going over that yesterday, I saw on TV. We live west of there, and it is not even raining here....Actually, everyone here was hoping for some rain, but we are on what is considered...

Re: Jumping back into time
Very interesting paper Babewilliams! I enjoyed reading it! I know the paper is done now, but I do have a topic that I wish we could go back in time and change. That is about Doris's son Terry and his death from melanoma. Speaking from experience, being a redhead and having fair skin, I have ended up...

Re: Love Me or Leave Me
I think this is DD's best film, but it was not a huge hit since the public at the time could not take Doris in a "gritty" reality film. Since Marty wanted her to have all hits, I am sure he went with her tried and true formula from then on, which was her and our loss.

Re: Doris' Remaining Costars
Richard Harris died a couple of years ago. He was great in the Harry Potter movies; it is a shame he could not have completed them. If he had not abused himself so much with smoking and drinking, he might have been able to. Overall, other than Camelot, he really was not leading man material, especia...

Re: Caprice
I agree with Haymarketaddict; I thought her clothes were wonderful. They have actually held up well over time.

Re: Which one to get first ???
I did want to mention on the out of print books--I have had great success getting them from the local library. For our city, the whole catalog is online now, and it is easy to put them on hold. Also, many places have a service where, if they do not own the book, a request can be put in for it, and t...

Re: Caprice
I just wanted to mention a minor or maybe not so minor oversight in the captioning/subtitling of this film. During the movie theater sequence, Doris Day is singing (wonderfully as usual)(from the screen in the movie theater) the film's title song. The captioner put on the screen "woman singing". I c...

Re: Caprice
Hi all, thanks for the welcome to the forum. I finally got the DVD of Caprice from Amazon, and watched it the other night. It has certainly held up well over time! My husband and I both enjoyed it. An unexpected bonus were the old cars--the irony is, they were all brand new at the time!! We still ha...

Re: Caprice
Maybe, I am giving away my age, but I was a teenager when Caprice first came out; Doris Day movies were just starting to be shown on evening or late evening (network) television, and that is when I first saw it, probably about 3 years after it was made. I remember it being funny and scary at times. ...
