And I thought I'd add some more!

Doris with Van Johnson. This is for Ralph who points out that there must be lots of unseen photos of Doris with other actors out there.

Doris in 1948. This is for Dayniac for obvious reasons!

Doris and son Terry, 1951

Doris, four years later in 1955.

Doris with Gene Nelson.

I don't need to tell you which film this is.

Those are great Bryan. Thanks.

I love the one with Terry. It's great to see a picture of Doris' first house in Toluca Lake. That's the one she had before she bought Martha Raye's Toluca Lake house, which is the one that appeared in Architectural Digest a few years back.

Thanks for the great pictures! I've never seen that picture with Terry - its great.

The bicycle picture is from a Scwinn ad from 1955.

And I think the picture of Doris with this dress is from April In Paris. I think its the dress she wore at the end of the movie, under the pink coat. This is a magazine cover from Spain in 1953.

I believe the picture of Doris and Van Johnson is from her visit to the Cannes Film Festival. I know I have a picture of a magazine article about that with this picture of them but I haven't found it yet. I'm still looking.

Thanks again -- I love seeing pictures of Doris !!

Doris and Jeff Chandler

By the way - thanks for the Romance picture ! I knew I read on a forum that someone was looking for pictures of Doris with other actors. I put a bunch in the Talking about DD - DD photo section. I got them in the wrong place but you can see several there.

Thanks again !

Here's a candid in recording studio - I think around 1959. This was in the new book Considering Doris Day also. There were a couple of pictures in the book that I hadn't seen. Nice to see.

And here's a candid of Doris cycling in Beverly Hills. Can you believe she did that ? That amazes me.

Doris walking her dogs in Beverly Hills.

I wanted to say thanks for all of the photos - I love the large color photo of Doris in the beige sweater. Lovely picture.
Hope you enjoy these.

Thanks again,
Toni

Doris standing on her hands on diving board around 1951

I was just reading in Tom Santopietro's book - he was talking about how athletic Doris is in her tv show and he goes into this story ---

as a little girl, Doris was so determined to win free lessons at Hessler's Dance Studio in Cincinnati that she won the contest to stand on her hands longer than anyone else by literally walking on her hands for weeks on end. Net result ? Twenty-five free dance lessons. With a will like that, maybe she should have trained for the decathlon. Misplaced athletic career or not, it's a total kick for an audience to watch a middle-aged woman this athletic in action, a woman who is still never less than completely feminine.

I had never heard the story about the contest for dance lessons before - has anyone heard this story before ?

He's definitely right about how athletic and feminine she is - all at the same time. She had muscles before it was poplular !

I found a picture of a magazine article with that photo above that I love so much. It's Movie Stars - March 1952.

Thought you might find that intersting !

That handstand swimsuit picture started me thinking that Doris didn't do a lot of swimsuit pictures -- BUT --- here are some !

Yes, I read that story in Doris's book. She said that she got to where she could go up and down the stair on her hands.

You know -- I read her book a long time ago - but when you said she went up and down the stairs -- I kind of remember reading that. I'd completely forgotten that.

Thanks !

Great Pictures again, Toni. I wonder who is on the boat with her?

dayniac · Unread post by **dayniac** » 09 May 2007, 20:52

Hi - I found a few more swimsuit pics !

I think around 1953 or 54

Publicity photo taken in 1948

Picture taken in 1957

Picture taken in 1950 for magazine article.

This picture taken in 1949 for Girl of the Year chosen by the American Legion.

I think the boat picture was taken for a magazine article. I have the mag someplace and I believe she and Marty were in Chicago and the man on the boat is a disc jockey and took them out on Lake Michigan on his boat. I can't recall his name. In the next group of pictures where she's climbing out of the water onto the boat - thats from the same photo session.

that picture of doris doing that headstand into the water is great. I think i will have to get that book

dayniac · Unread post by **dayniac** » 10 May 2007, 17:58

The book is pretty good (the handstand photo is not in the book). I think its definely worth a read. I agreed with most of what he had to say about her music - he praised her music for the most part. And I thought he was pretty correct on her tv show. But I differed with him on a lot of the thoughts he had about her movies. I guess for me I'll watch any Doris Day movie - even if I know its bad ! And I didn't think that some of them were as bad as he thought they were. I enjoy almost all of her movies even when they're a little lacking in the script department. But then - I'm a dayniac !
