10 things I love about Doris Day

Monty asked me to do a post about his classic movie goddess of the month - and this is it…:

I just adore Doris Day – and that’s what I knew for ages.

But now I started to think about what exactly I like about her –

and here are my results:

1. Of course her interest and love for animals.

Super-likeable!

2. Then - no wonder - for being a single girl myself.. – I like her spinster roles. Honest: Does she look unhappy to you before she meets Rock Hudson, Cary Grant or whoever else? No, she doesn’t! – she isn’t sitting at home, crying and waiting for her prince to come – oh no!

3. She is a Career girl! And in most cases she seems to enjoy her job – which is great!

4. And in the majority of her films she is the happy girl – an easy-going character, which I find very appealing.

5. Oh – and her Humor! Doris Day is one of the funniest actresses!

But she isn’t “just funny”:

6. She is a very versatile actress. She is great in so many dramatic roles! Her “fight” scenes are awesome e.g. LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME (1955) with James Cagney.

– And this brings us to

7. Her partners – o.k. when I was 14 my heart broke when I found out that Rock Hudson was more of a “gents-man” but I got over that.. - Well, my favourite leading man of Doris Day is anyway Jack Carson.

A hilarious pair they were – and in films with him she was always more of a

8. Singer.

I love her songs and her

9. Voice – which is kind of raspy just like her

10. Laughter, which I like most about her.

There are so much more things I like about Doris Day – but these were my top ten of them.

Yours truly
