Day made out this check to herself for $38, signed it and endorsed it in 1948 to pay her
gardener and for milk.
Check signed and endorsed "Doris Day". 5¾x2½ with perforated top edge. Dec. 4, 1948.
Check no. 440 for $38.09, made out to Day and drawn on her Bank of America account in
Hollywood, California. A typed memo underneath the amount line says that this check is for
"Gardener $25 Milk $13.09 Reimb.". Known for her wholesome, "girl-next-door" good
looks and sparkling personality, 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), "America's Sweetheart" also brightened up the silver screen opposite such romantic
leading men as Rock Hudson and Cary Grant. 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. Lightly toned. Normal bank
stamps and cancellation holes, which touch both signature and endorsement. Tape remnants at
top edge. Light tears at top and bottom edge. Light dent in right side. Folded once and
unfolded. Otherwise, fine condition.
