Who Was Doris Day?

Born on April 3, 1922, in Ohio, her real name was Doris Mary Ann von Kappelhoff, according to DorisDay.com. Growing up, she gravitated toward singing and had her first hit, "Sentimental Journey," in 1945, which was co-written by Les Brown and recorded with his band. She had her second hit with "My Dreams Are Getting Better All the Time" and then signed a contract with Columbia Records, going solo, in 1947.

"She was every bandleader's dream, a vocalist who had natural talent, a keen regard for the lyrics and an attractive appearance," Les Brown had said, according to DorisDay.com.

Day's first film was Romance on the High Seas in 1948, which led to her signing a contract with Warner Bros. She starred in Tea for Two and Lullaby of Broadway (1951); one of her best-known films, the musical Calamity Jane, was made in 1953.

In 1956, Day starred in Alfred Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much, which was also famous for the song "Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)," which was later recorded for Columbia. She also starred in Pillow Talk with Rock Hudson in 1959, marking its 60th anniversary this year.

Her last film was Caprice in 1967; she left Hollywood after that.
