This is the BBC's world page on Doris: http://www.bbc.co.uk/search/news/doris_day


Another great piece by Denise Van Outen:

I'm delighted legend Doris is back in Top 10 — says Denise Van Outen
I CAN'T remember a time when I didn't love Doris Day.

She is one of the main reasons I went to stage school and worked to get into showbusiness. I did a one-woman show a couple of years ago, Blonde, about Marilyn, Olivia Newton-John, Mae West and, of course, Doris.

She is a living legend and I'm delighted to see her album in the top ten.

My nan, Mary, introduced me to Doris. She adored all the stars of that era and played me all of Day's films, and sang me the songs. The reason Doris is still able to have success is because people fell in love with her all those years ago and that feeling is still there.

The younger generation, like me, were introduced to her by our parents or grandparents — her 1956 hit Que Sera, Sera has been sung at so many family parties.

Her movies were not offensive in any way so the whole family can enjoy them.

Dads secretly lust after her, the mums want to be her and are quite happy for their sons and daughters to watch.

The Hollywood of Doris's era seemed so glamorous. She was very busty — naturally of course. She was one of the original natural beauties.

Although she was very beautiful she wasn't in your face. She was a toned down version of Marilyn, who was the ultimate sex symbol.

Doris was always portrayed as the ultimate sweet girl next door but admitted in her autobiography she had three husbands before she was 30. She married four times in the end — you might say she had a secret Jordan-style past.

Back then we didn't know so much about these people's private lives. You couldn't go online to find out everything.

She revealed she had hated the way she was portrayed by the studios because it was nothing like the real woman.

But she reached that level of fame where she was untouchable — a bit like David Beckham.

Doris was very principled — she turned down the role of Mrs Robinson in The Graduate on moral grounds.

You have to admire her. People must have tried to get her to take all kinds of parts where she'd take her kit off.

Doris was a recording artist and film star in the Fifties and Sixties and a massive TV star in the Seventies with her Golden Globe-winning show.

Her 1953 movie Calamity Jane was one of my favourite childhood films. I can still remember the poster now.

There was talk of bringing it back to the West End with me in the role — I'd love to.

Despite all the success, Doris had a lot of knocks in her personal life.

Her third husband, Marty Melcher, was also her manager and when he died she discovered he'd left her in debt and taken decisions behind her back.

Then in 2004 her only child, her son Terry, died, aged 62. He produced this album.

It's a lovely tribute to Terry. Fans will be happy — as well as well-fed animals at the foundation she set up which will get the profits."

Sixties Fever! The Beatles And Doris Day Land On UK's Top 10 Album Chart

Image
Did we go back in time to 1965 and not realize it??
The UK had a nostalgic Billboard chart this week with both The Beatles and '60s icon Doris Day cracking the top 10.
The Beatles' 1 compilation album from 2000 reappeared on the list at the Number 6 spot, selling an additional 23,000 albums. Since its release eleven years ago, the album has sold more than 30,000 physical copies and is the bestselling album in the world over the past decade.
Another music artist from yesteryear also reentered the charts, debuting her new My Heart at the Number 9 spot with newly-released material. At age 87, she's become the oldest female artist to ever hit the UK top ten.
Way to go, Doris! Get it, gurl!

That's great, Puck (wish I knew what it said! :) ) Still, I have a Dutch friend who can translate if I ask and there are probably some people who visit who understand.

Trying to keep a record of some of the reviews while they are still fresh so all appreciated.

Thanks!

Howard, I was in my local (main)record shop today looking for the CD at no.9 and it is now no.4!

As Bryan said, no TV ads in the UK but the media has gone crazy for the CD and Doris in general and it is superb!

Veteran actress Doris Day makes history in UK album chart
The 87-year-old's album, My Heart, went into the charts at number nine on Sunday, outselling records by Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga and Jessie J.

My Heart - released over 62 years after her debut album was unveiled in the US - features 12 previously unheard tracks which Day recorded between 1951 and 1994.

The recordings were produced by her son, Terry Melcher, prior to his death in 2004.

Day - who is now an animal activist - recently said of the album, 'I was asked to choose the songs I preferred; these are the tunes that reflect my love of animals, my love for my son.

'They're the dearest things to my heart.'


I have tears in my eyes♥

I LOVE YOU DORIS♥

Doris Day is a legend of Hollywood; a blond bombshell who was part of the A list during Tinseltown's golden years. She could sing, dance and act and for many people she was the 'All American Girl'. In recent years she has become a recluse; she retired from live performing over 20 years ago and now dedicates much of her time to animal rights issues. So it came as a surprise to the music world when Doris announced earlier this year that she was set to release a new album. This week at the age of 87, she launched 'My Heart' her first album since 1994. Pierre Patrick has written three books about Doris Day and has met her on many occasions. He joined the Breakfast show to talk about Doris's new album and her life at the top of the entertainment world.

What a pleasure to witness this revival of great interest in Doris Day (not that it's ever waned for her fans). She's an iconic figure in 20th century entertainment--she could do anything. Thanks, Eoin Cameron and Pierre Patrick, for your interview. I see that on the UK Amazon website site, "My Heart" is currently the #1 album in the pop category--Go, Doris!

Okay, America....let's do OUR part. Our friends across the pond are keeping Doris' new album up there (but they need to buy a few more to make it stay in the Top. Now we need to do the same thing on this side of the pond. It is for sale at Amazon.com (but not in any stores i have seen)...let's get on the bandwagon. i bought 10 copies (2 for me; 8 for friends)...How about you?

Great to see DD on the charts. I'm really surprised that Streisand's new cd is so low on the totem pole - #63.

It's called "What Matters Most." Streisand sings the lyrics of Alan and Marilyn Bergman. In my opinion she's already sung the best of their material (especially the "Yentl" score) ... the new numbers are a bit too sleepy for my taste.

Sorry to hear that, Howard. She completely bowled me over when I first saw "Funny Girl" but her film career didn't really follow up on that - although I enjoyed "Hello Dolly" when I saw it on TV. "What's up, Doc" was amusing but I had no desire to see "A Star is Born" and switched over after half an of hour of "Yenti"- maybe I should have persevered? But I still feel an album of hers would still be worth listening to - but perhaps not after your comment! Which album do you recommend post "Funny Girl"?
