sparkling personality, Doris Day (1922-2019), "America's Sweetheart", was one of the
most popular and highest paid actresses by the early 1950s. After her would-be dancing

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. Day married her agent, Marty
Melcher, in 1955. After his death in 1968, Doris discovered he had ruined her financially
with bad investments and investments. Being the trouper she was, Day worked her way
out of difficulties. Bank stamps on verso show through lightly, touching signature. Left edge
