Price: $280.00
DORIS DAY
Youthful black and white image of the actress, signed Doris and "Clara", a name she has
adopted since retiring from film.
Inscribed Photograph signed: "To Jerry/With my love/always/Doris/Clara[drawn heart]" in black
felt tip, B/w 8x10. Known for her wholesome, "girl-next-door" good looks and sparkling
personality, "America's Sweetheart", Doris Day (1922-2019), was one of the most
popular and highest paid actresses by the early 1950s. After her would-be dancing career was
sidelined by an accident, Day had turned to singing, first touring with bands and then
introducing hit after hit in a string of romantic comedies. Nominated for an Academy
Award for Pillow Talk (1959), she also brightened up the silver screen opposite such
romantic leading men as Rock Hudson and Cary Grant. Her singing career was just as hot
as her acting career, and her hit from the movie The Man Who Knew Too Much, "Que Sera,
Sera", won an Oscar. In 1987, she established the Doris Day Animal League, America's
premier lobbying organization dedicated to focusing attention on legislative issues involving
the humane treatment of animals. As of 2008, Day has changed her name to Clara
Kappelhoff, which explains the "Clara" in the photograph. Slightly soiled. Slightly creased.
Slightly worn. Otherwise, fine condition.
