I've been tracking down Doris Day video appearances all summer long.

Enjoy.

Oh, that is soooo neat!! Thank you so much!!

(I don't want to complain, but isn't the end of her speech missing?)

[Laurie]

No, that's it. They cut to James Cagney and then to a commercial. No more of Doris. With her stage fright it must have took all she had to get up there in the first place.

[Doris Martin]

Thank you very much Laurie....Marti

That was wonderful, Laurie. Like a shot of heroin to a junkie! Doris was such a great 'public speaker'. It was so touching - I wish we could have seen Jimmy Cargney's face - I bet he had a tear in his eye as Doris was being so honestly loving.

Thank you, Laurie!

[BabeWilliams]

That was really nice Lori... Thanks!

Just for you, Bryan, Jimmy's reaction.

[Theodomus]

Ah, thanks for explaining, Laurie!

[webmaster]

Thanks Laurie - he was close to tears, wasn't he?

[BabeWilliams]

Well Bryan I'm sure if Doris said that stuff to you, you'd be close to tears too... I know I would be..

Thank you so much for posting this! I really enjoyed it. She looked so pretty and her speech and the song brought me alittle to tears. Thanks again!

[Jas1]

Oh my God Laurie.... I have goose bumps! You have no idea how many years I have wanted to see this and it has been worth the wait!

I adored Doris' heartfelt and sincere speech and didn't she look superb? That bra-less look again! Boy, she is a class act, and the simplicity of her dress and that figure, wow! Interesting too she was wearing a similar colour to the dress from the film clip - wonder if that was planned?

Anyhow, I am rambling, thanks again, so much for posting this.

[Laurie]

Your welcome. She does look great in that dress. It was so Doris. No one else had pastel on or could carry off that body hugging jersey material.

Now if I could just find her Tonight show appearances, I will have my collection complete.

Laurie,

That was a tear jerker. I just loved it. I have never seen that clip before. I just couldn't keep the tears back. I truly adore her.
Thanks for that clip.

That bra-less look again!

Geez... I had a feeling someone would bring that up...lol

[Laurie]

Megan

Not a look I would recommend for everybody. However, she truly could carry off that sexy look.

[BabeWilliams]

That's for sure!

Thanks so much for posting! Such poise and grace.

Thank you so much for taking the time to search for this clip and posting it, Laurie!

[Jake Iverson]

Awesome! I've been dying to see this. What a class act and boy does she look like dynamite!

I have to echo all of the thank-you's to Laurie for posting this fabulous clip. I had not seen this since the first time it was broadcast. Doris did quite well here. Even if she is not fond of public speaking, she handled herself with tremendous confidence and composure. Not a word of what she said felt scripted or rehearsed: it came straight from her heart and you could tell her words really touched Jimmy.

What a terrific acting team those two were. I often think that maybe she had better chemistry with him than Rock or Jimmy Garner.

This really put a smile on my face. Thanks again.

I'd love to see those too! Donahue, Mike Douglas and Barbara Walters as well.
