Endorser merits further research. Encapsulated in a PSA/DNA case. Known for her wholesome, "girl-next-door" good looks and sparkling personality, Doris Day (1922-2018), "America's Sweetheart", was one of the most popular and highest paid actresses by the early 1950s. After her would-be dancing career was cut short 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 (1956), "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. Toned.
